I am thinking that I may need to paint some sort of mark for my feet to ensure I get proper placement each time. It is amazing how an much of a difference a few mm can make. I will probably just use the machine as a finisher, rather than a primary exercise. That will allow me to keep weights lighter and reps higher and not force any back issues.... I hope.
