When I used to do them, yes, I always locked out the weight. I see it the same way as any other lift - do it right or don't do it at all.

Thanks guys. I don't find it any harder to go that extra inch or 1 1/2 I was told that a long time ago to not lock them out all the way. Was also told not to lock out all the way with squats and also leg press. Now when I say lock out I'm saying fully extended knees ( or elbows) locked. I always lock for bench.

Also, @bhog lock them out, that last little bit is supposed to be important for shoulder health and development.
Great squat session this morning 365x3x5/380x3x3 (firing on all 8-cylinders). Im headed back to the 400"s (next month)
I"ll try and update my powerlifting log here .

Lol thanks brother, replaced
This turned out to be the best powerlifting purchase I ever made. It cost me $10 and works fine. I got it when it first came out and they asked some of the first purchasers to do a review on Amazon. Since it worked fine I had no problem posting a review.
That landed me on their "testers" list. They came out with a powerlifting belt last year and just came out with knee sleeves today. Got each of them for $1 delivered!

I think im going to order these. Theyre small enough to go in a gym bag and have good reviews. Plus I use a lot of energy putting them weights on...

I hate taking them off even worse after a heavy session.

What do you guys think of this bar
http://www.roguecanada.ca/rogue-chan-bar
Thinking about picking this guy up as an all around quality bar for cleans squats deads and bench then when I get to a heavy enough weight purchase a true powerlifting bar as well

Rogue makes very good bars. Not cheap but similar in quality to the very expensive bars cost over double the price.

90 1/2 inches long, 27mm in diameter, aggressive knurling, pure joy to pull with... and great for your sex life.
She can handle whatever you throw at her, when she bends under weight her curves are tighter than Abella Anderson's, she'll take you on a ride to find your worth, and she'll always be up for more.
