I see this is a popular choice of rack in these parts. I bought one last year for Starting Strength and it's great value but how do people get on bench pressing in it? I often end up touching the keepers at the bottom of the rep. I could drop the keepers right to their lowest point (without the pins in place) but I'm worried it won't provide the protection then. How about raising the bench a little with some wood?

I have my rack on paving slabs which lines the keepers up nicely. So raise up your rack a bit but drop down the keepers a whole level.
