I bring my own towels so I don’t end up getting spots/rashes from going to the gym
weakling
Smear shit all over the bar.
just say you're good
do you guys ever talk to people?
>try to talk while struggling mid-rep on the last rep
wow, great easy solution bud
Bro it's not that hard to yell something quick like stop, let go, go away, etc even when struggling on a rep
Sounds like you need the spot bro
Yeah maybe a big strong helpful guy like you could back me up
Sounds like you don't rep till failure bro
>training til failure is a good way to train
Surprising you don't have a 70s bodybuilder physique to match your outdated training methods
>Why yes, I do sets of 20+ reps. How could you tell?
yeah it was rep ranges that really made the difference
So what, you just get in the gym and do a couple of meme timed reps and call it a day?
No I train near failure instead of to failure. You can do way more effective volume then burning yourself out early into your workout
Yes
>Surprising you don't have a 70s bodybuilder physique
yeah that must really suck
youre not supposed to train to failure
Then the homosexuals refuse to go away & insist on "helping"
This, I’d rather do the roll of shame than get a spot
>benching, struggling on last rep
>still got it though
>guy comes up to spot, already placing his fingers below the bar
>have to say "I got it"
>no longer have it because breathing after speaking
man it sucks so much
I would be lifting the bar on my fricking own if I couldn’t lift it or bail out of it. Fricking bar blessers coming over and giving my bar the magic finger
Sounds like you didn't "got it" if just breathing fricks your lift up. gay.
Let a stinker loose when anyone gets within 5 meters of your personal space
upside down punch him in the nads.
Get irrationally angry when someone does it, shout at the top of my lungs to stay the frick away from me, and tell him I know how to bail but obviously his dad didn't.
Then proceed to get kicked out of the gym and buy a homegym where no one will ever spot me ever.
Be big and strong enough that you intimidate them
Be the strongest motherfricker in the gym.
No one will dare spot you
stop being attractive
>Ask person to spot you
>Say: "i will let you know when i need help"
>Never say anything
I use a chest press machine instead of barbell bench press.
I made a little sign that says "Don't spot me" and I stick it on the bench before my first work set
Edit: I didn't really but it's a good idea, isn't it?
yeah its a great way to advertise youre a socially moronic individual
By just being myself, I have an unnatural aura about me that repels people
Hardly anyone else but me and another dude bench more than 2pl8
Other guys require spots for 2pl8, I don’t and anyone who has seen me knows I got it (and I look the part too)
When I do 3pl8 sometimes some brah will hang around close by, but ends up just watching in awe (nobody else does 3pl8) as I do my lift beltless and spotless
Just look not dyel and nobody is going to condescendingly try to spot you
I don't feel a difference benching with or without a belt. I bench 3pl8 weekly
Just bite their balls when they spot you
Move the bench to the wall
I think I'm being constantly harassed by this one big guy. Every time I bench 50kg he spots me and stands directly over my face. On my last rep as he pulls the barbell up and squats down really close to my face. After I get up he rubs my shoulder and tells me I did a good job.
I'm too scared to say anything, what do I do?
prepare you anus anon. it's inevitable
some guy tried to walk up behind me on squats a few weeks back, had a top set of 365x5, and when I was done, I told him never approach me again, if I needed help, I’d ask.
He told me I didn’t have to be a dick, and I told he didn’t need to be a gayget.
Do this
I had a guy take a bar out of my hands while doing skullcrushers because he thought I failed a bench press for some reason. It scared the shit out of me because I thought it was alone. I gave him a dead arm and he never bothered me again.
1. Wear headphones
2. Don't dress like you want male attention
3. "I'm good...thanks"
I haven't locked my doors in over a year, and still no unwanted spots in my gym. What am I doing wrong?
Im so lonely bros
