First to Dan

What I'm getting at is........
If your rack (just going from the pic you attached) is of the type that you must lift the bar off the rack and then lower it to your chest, then MS is no problem. If you are starting out in the bottom position then I can see where there are issues.</div>
Man...Dan...Its a big shlep...re-racking evry time...with a partner and with some time to flirt with it is ok...but alone, it is another story...besides the fact that alone I can only bench about 80 Kg. for safety reasons...I can surely try it and see, I may just end up doing 20 reps with 80 when normally I can only push about 8 tops.
As for the set up, it is variable, I normally set it up at the top as it is much easier to get the weight off, from the bottom....can be done, but it is way more difficult to get the bar off...I suppose I must get used to it, unfortunatelly the bar I got with the rack, is just big enough so I cannot use it as a safety cage, bacause the weight invariably starts knocking the stops driving me crazy and taking all my concentration off.

Sci...that sounds like torture...besides being a big shlep...but I must agree of course it can be done...it is a mind over matter type of thing
Normally when I train I try to get done a.s.a.p., as by the time I'm finished the wifey is just about dishing up, gives me a solid 45 minutes with warm up and all, but I have to move my ass through the program...else I'll be eating alone
I ma sure some of you guys do not have this problem, specially the "spring chickens"
but most of the married guys who train at home have all kinds of other commitments which get in the way!
