I'll look but we have a home made frame that we load with weight plates just behind the lifter. Coach said to keep my chest pushed forward and lift up and back at the top so you're leaning back slightly (not hyperextended, just your body is leaning back slightly) at the finish.

Thank you; sounds interesting.
