Quite the contrary!
I just used an old 2x6, maybe 8’ to 10’ long, propped up just above hip height in my squat rack:
I also tried propping it across my bar, racked at an appropriate height, and that worked just fine too. You might be able to rig up something similar without too much effort.
I had the 2x6 on hand, but they’re running about $15 at my local Lowe’s home improvement store—not too expensive, especially considering the cost of lumber these days.
I’ll see if I can grab some videos next time I try these. My phone sucks, but you’re right: a video is really the only way to get some form-check feedback!
Probably not—definitely a good thing to double-check, and straightforward to correct if I actually find that I’m not giving it the right attention.
Thanks for the input!
