My gym bro is going to work on a ship for the next 3-4 months and I don't want to ask random people to spot me when I bench press.
they do if you don't have a cheap bench rack.
bench pussy weight if you're scared
better b***hmade than dead or injured.
>bench pussy weight if you're scared
I'm already benching pussy weights cause I just started liftan in may, so I'm barely 3x5-ing 72kgs ( thats 160 for burgers ). My problem is that I won't be able to make any progress pushing myself cause I might injure my shit.

jesus christ you must weigh like 350 pounds if that's your starting weight
Nope, 176, skinny fat, hadn't done ANY physical activity in the last couple years, not even sexxxo.
Is this meant to be high? For sets of 5 reps I'd have thought this was aggressively average.

mine does (because it is the squat rack)
>that new guy at the gym benching 32.5 kg in my power rack
the power rack is for benching and squats, so deal with it. That said, when people do it when benching below 50kg thats moronic. Even if you fail, rolling the bar off off yourself shouldnt be a problem
It's MY rack and it's for MY squats
ok lets just say we can use it i if there is nobody else around to spot you. This way you wont even know we did it, i promise
how much do you squat btw?
DYEL numbers according to IST. I rarely see anyone squat more than me though
I honestly dont get why commercial gyms even get non-power racks, its not like the pice is that much different and yoyre limiting your customers lifts
hey, thats me!
is there a power rack? i bench in it with safeties
that's the reason I might never be able to pull a 2pl8, too fricking scared to try my limits and frick it up
for failure testing I would rather stick to the chest press machine
just do it when no one is around you and play off b***hing out as if you're being a meathead butthole going home.
it's not about the embarrassment, it's about injuring myself, I don't wanna a bar that I can't take off hanging on my neck
upto 2pl8 you can just tilt your body and dump it all on the ground without any injury
am i the only one who doesnt understand what you are trying to say at all?
i only speak in run on sentences on IST to confuse the ChatGPT bots for example this guy got what i was saying no problem
i suspect you can see my IP and are just making an ESL joke in which case haha very funny you are amusing racist kun
You need to learn how to fail safely. I can respect a guy who attempts a max and fails it with grace. I only recommend it up to around 2pl8 though. Higher than that and your crushing yourself.
Just don't clip your weights and watch videos of people rolling the bar out. You're not lifting heavy enough to where you need a spotter. All else fails in rolling out you can dump the weights to one side.
This. I've dumped a few 400+ lb bench attempts in my day.
Roll a bench into the squat rack.
love waiting to squat because you idiots are so autistic that you can't manage to ask someone for a 5 second spot without spilling spaghetti all over the gym floor
smells like b***h in here
If the 'squat rack' has adjustable safeties that you could feasibly adjust with a bench underneath then it's most likely multi-purpose anyway and you are entitled to bench in it. Also do you not have smith machines?
>Why the frick don't bench press racks have safeties
they do
your gym is shit
Practice rolling it off, put on weight and just lower it gently.
You can roll shit pretty nicely ever around 2 plate. I've rolled ~120kg and it's not bad at all.
some of you guys must be benching 95 lbs in here if you are too shy to ask for a spot
ITT: No one knows how to solo recover from a failed bench press
