Could you explain this a little further? Should you use your regular rep weight? What is a ROM? 
Thanks.[/quote]
Aha! A word that I know. ROM = Range of motion.
Score one for word memorization.

you know those wedges that hold the bar?
place the barbell underneath the wedge and push with everything you got.
the barbell itself wont actually be moving but you’ll be exerting a ton.
im not as articulate with my words so it be best to show you but, hope this helps[/quote]
Could you dig up a youtube video explaining what your describing?
to StrengthDawg:
rondastarr is no kid she is a powerful woman.
to rondastarr: I am stuck at 120 as a max and have been doing rack lockouts to strengthen my tris.
I guess my east coast up bringing is offending folks by calling someone “kid”. I don’t mean anything by it. Sort of like saying dude or buddy etc.
Why is everyone on this board so defensive or quick to lash out at folks? Anyone makes a comment or asks for help and all they get is flamed or some rude comments?
I think I’ve just answered my own question…

even though hes not actually moving weight, he’s exerting a ton of force. check out the meter.
hes got a high tech machine but this can be done with a barbell… and its more effective because you can add weight. hes doing the static press closer to a lock out position, but if your weakness is closer to your chest, try the static press there.
