By rack presses he means do bench press in the rack and setting up the safeties such that you put the weight down on the rack before it would touch your chest. It allows you to handle more weight and train your lockout more effectively. Although unless you specifically have problems with your lockout (,most raw benchers don't ... they get stuck right off their chest) then I don't know if I would agree with that statement.

Oh ha gotcha. Yea I don't have a power rack to work on over here. I tried doing the same thing on a smith machine but makes the joints in my shoulders feel weird, so I stopped.
