Remember that Louie always says the ME lift isn't so much to improve weaknesses its to find them and to test yourself, use your accesorry work to improve the weaknesses.

I found that by taking 2 sheets of 3/8 inch plywood, I can take a 1 inch adjustment and really fine tune the distance of the supports to match my body. In other words, by playing with the 2 sheets, you can move the support in increments of 3/8's an inch, so you can also have a perfect press height when using the rack.
I have 1 sheet under me and my pins set at 10 and the bar barely touches my chest. Saw this in a gym 1 year ago and thought it was priceless as they seem to either be too high or too low.
On a quick side note, did you see in Pumping Iron when Franco is outside benching 315...Arnold tells a joke and franco sits the bar loaded on his chest, takes a hand off, and starts to joke around too. How the hell do you not let 315 crush you with only 1 hand on the bar....Insane.
