Was on the DL platform tonight and the bands hook in about 6 inches lower than in the rack. Big difference. I had to keep accelerating from just below the knee to lock out. 495 was an RPE 8.5. Iām ecstatic, in a 60-year-old sorta way.

Iām pretty sure that itās just a timing coincidence. Thereās only one DL platform and itās right in front of the only rack where you can place the glute raise pad. If thereās a problem, itās actually a lack of focus on my part and not anything anyone else is doing.
