        Ring pushups can be easily regressed, just use a more vertical torso angle to reduce the load, and over time you can move to a more horizontal torso angle to increase the load.

    You don’t need a spotter if you’re not trying to lift moronic weight. I only bench weight I know I can get at least 4 controlled very hard reps out of.

      You don't know how many reps you can get if you've never gone to failure. But you don't need a spotter to safely fail bench, people are just stupid pussies.

    >don't put on the collar
    >if you fail, tip the bar over to one side and let the plates slide off
    >it will automatically flip to the other side after this
    >never try to lock out on a rep you're clearly going to fail
    Stop being a pussy.
    >b-but that doesn't seem safe
    It's quite safe at least until 2pl8. If you aren't doing bench at all you probably have a long way to go.

        The only people who tear a muscle are people on steroids who get too strong too fast.

        Show me one obvious natty that has torn a muscle.

    Is it really that dangerous unless you are already strong enough to lift really heavy? Just keep it away from your neck and don't totally drop it on yourself lol

    Push it down to your hips if you fail, then sit up, then stand and put the bar back. That easy

        I have done this the first time I failed, but I couldn't pick the bar back up in a curl to put it back on the bench. Had to have someone help me remove the weights.
