    I've got one. When using the smith machine, place some blocks or pads under each of the arms then load the plates. Then you can start your set with a heavy weight but you aren't at the weakest position. When you push up the blocks just fall away and you do your set. Only needed when it's really heavy.

    These were great. Definitely going to buy the wrist cuffs for doing the shoulder exercises, I always feel like my form is a little awkward and this could help
    also the ab sling will work great in my gym
    the 2 minute hang before and after the workout, I need to stretch out
    and the split squat trick with the barbell and pad. I always feel off when using the bench, something a little lower makes sense
    thanks

    While stretching is generally great and especially dead hangs have a lot of benefits, they are not at all recommended before a strength workout. Stretching before a strength workout can slightly fatigue your muscles and tendons and lead to worse workout performance and even to injuries.
