I'm not sure I entirely understand. So you're starting in the hole and exploding up, right? But you have to go back down again, don't you? Or are you saying to set the power rack safety arms up high and just stand up and down with maybe a 4-6" range of motion?

Interesting. I like the imagery. How many sets/reps at 50% do you do?
