Repetition Lever Height

[Richard Brekne]

I used to do this quite a bit, and was always convinced that this was 
the best way to go. Only problem is that its meant to compensate for 
worn knuckles... which are really a seperate  problem which several 
sypmtoms. IF the knuckles are in <<acceptable condition>> AND the rep 
springs are correct and even -- THEN the finger brushing across the top 
of the replever/jack window is as accurate a way as any... and its 
reallllllly fast to do it once you get the feel of it.  So if I these 
days if I have a problem with the knuckles I like to address that 
seperatly, as worn, flatened, grooved knuckles cause other problems that 
seem to cancel out any benifit you get from fudging the jack top height 
to match them.

That said...  jack tripping a good routine to have in your bag of tricks.
