These are pretty tough for me, but I am trying to build a bit more chest strength.
For my secondary lockout movement, I am sticking with reverse band presses with 50lbs in loading pins. I'll have to post a video of this soon. They are very cool and absolutely kill your lockout.

Deadlifts went much better than anticipated. Still nowhere near where I'd like them to be, but in due time, it'll move up...now that I am feeling healthy again.
I like the loading pin idea. I might try to get Eric to chime in, but I think he and Dave made a similar setup once. They said it worked awesome. How much do you have on the loading pins?
That was a total of 50lbs in loading pins - 25lbs each side.
I really like them because you have to stay tight. The weights sway and they have to be controlled or you'll have a slower push, thus taking more energy out of you. I am probably going to keep them in my training cycles for a little while.
