    Unrack the barbell too low on bench press

    İm doing icf 5x5 for 3 weeks. My gym was closed for 3 days so i pay anothergym for daily.
    My older gym have squat stands but not safety pins.
    This gym has safety pins for squats which i liked the most.

    Today i did workout b on this gym. Only peoblem i had i couldnt lock barbell under my head perfectly on ohp as i did on my other gym. Normally i was doing ohp with black olympic barbell. İt was slightly thinner barbell that i used today. Today i used white olympic barbell. But i lift heavier with this barbell . İ know it sounds weird but does anyone know why this happened ? Maybe the Black barbell was thinner so it was easier for me to lockout. This white barbell little more thicker then the black one. ( Just a slighlry more not too much)

    And the bench hooks on this gym was too low. İ have long arms so it is harder for me to unrack the barbell.
