@mctoasty243 Your leverage is better with the hips up. Admittedly, this would never pass as a competition lift. However, you will have "strength spilllovers"from such a lift to strict, never the other way around. Proof? I can now do a 350 lb bench like that, strict with 315 easily. Mike
Nice way to go
