would be nice if every gym had their squat racks 7 metres from the wall but for most of us u have to look down a bit at the start of the lift. we're on the same page anyway i just used a bad description.

A rack that I often use is right in front of a mirror and I find looking above eye level works for me. It helps me lead up with my head rather than drift. The other thing that sometimes happens when I take a peak is that I soften a bit. I think my spine is being held in a/the correct orientation and it is basically my eyes tilted upward, but I'm not sure.

mine is in front of the mirror too, but you can move the pins or whatever they are to the other side. I just assumed he could do that.
