* Place the safety bars at the point where you would finish in the down position, and set the bar on them. Load the bar, and then situate yourself under it in full squat position.

* Set the pins so that you're performing a deadlift through the upper three-fourths of the normal range of motion.
Place a flat bench within a Smith machine, load the bar with 50-60% of your max, and lie back into position, hands spaced less-than-shoulder-width apart. From there, do a traditional close-grip press explosively, letting go of the bar at the top. Catch it with slightly bent arms before performing the negative and starting the next rep.
