44 sounds good... go as low as your comfortable with.

Pick different heights...go lower then higher. Sit the pins just where your shoulder are when you are deadlifting...

anway from where the bar is from the floor is probably 60" so your idea works out.

lol.. ya. i fixed that..

Bfold - actually the bar was lower than shoulder height i had to bend my knees slightly and bend over some to get under the bar.

I gotcha...BUT...set up your body just like you are about to do a deadlift from the floor. Look at where your shoulders are...and set the bar right there.

I'm 5'10 (70 inches).. I set the saftey rails at 44 inches... so that makes 16 inch movement. (excluding head of course!) Is that good or bad?

I wasn't sure where to set the rails. I heard 36 inches but when I did that it was way too low...any ideas?

When we do chain suspended, I believe it's 36" from the floor, which I think is a Westside thing. Hannibal would know for sure.

It is a little tough to get under, but I can do it, and I'm 6'.

Nice work on the 475!
