Where would the sticking points be for these exercises? (sorry for such a basic question, but I need some help with this).

Squat (bottom, right?)
Deadlift
bench press (bottom again, right? At the chest?)
upright rows (I'm guessing down by the floor)

Is the sticking point always the lowest point?

Sorry, I just realized this should be in the beginner forum.

typically just above the 'bottom'

results are somewhat mixed

<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">bench press (bottom again, right? At the chest?)</div> just off the chest, 2-5&quot;

YMMV
 
Sorry, not upright rows, just rows.

Thanks for the advice Aaron and quad. I'm just trying to get a general feel. I'm still learning to pay attention to what is going on with my body during training and need a few hints.
