acquire spotter.

Why would you need a spotter for press ever? Just drop the bar and step back. Big noise but no big deal.
Asher Powell
Grow a set of balls or cure your autism and ask someone to spot you. Honestly not sure which alternative is the least unlikely.

When im in trouble i shoot my butt off the bench for ultra leg drive to hopefully get it onto the lowest pin, but that only happened like twice im a few years.
Jose Wood
Every time I'm about to take the bar off of the rack I reflect on my existence, take note of whether my life was well spent, and make peace with my impending death.
Wyatt Thomas
maybe stop using the suicide grip
Carter Harris
If you scream, people usually run over. Just try not to drop it to hard when you fail so you can hold it for a sec.
Elijah Murphy
Wait, that's an option?
Leo Green
Dangerous man, you could miss the pin and drop the bar on your head/neck
Just don't use clips so you can tip the weight over, OR when you fail just push the weight to your lap, sit up, and then pick it up and put it on the floor. I've failed twice maxing out before and had no problem using the second method to get out of it.
Sebastian Ramirez
the safety bars on my rack are perfect height just above my neck but below my chest when arch my back a little bit

>just push the weight to your lap, sit up, and then pick it up and put it on the floor.
I hope I can remember that in the moment
Alexander Morris
Just don't panic, you're not in any danger when the bar is resting on your chest
Asher Hill
get power rack it's worth it

Anthony Moore
easy af mate.
just gently lower to your chest, then roll it from your chest to your groin and sit up.
practice it with babby weight a couple of times, it will save your neck no joke
Eli Morris
What if it gets caught on my boner?

Ayden Baker
Use it as an opportunity to train your boner.
Jonathan Perez
Yes, it's actually easier on incline.
Decline, however, you're fucked.
But you shouldn't be doing decline, ever. Waste of time.
Asher Thompson
This.
Otherwise it's the roll of shame which is uncomfortable as hell on your abs once you get over 2pl8
Kevin Perez
Keked loudly
Nolan Sanchez
I never put the clips on just incase i have drop the weights off the side. But usually i just go one rep before failure.
Tyler Smith

So true. I missed the pin twice in the last year (barely), and had one side fall onto my face. I wasn't completely spent so I was able to control the descent and also ended up turning my head so the bar was resting on the hollow part of my cheek. I wasn't using clips so I was able to tip the weights off that side and save myself.
I was surprised I wasn't injured. Didn't even bruise. But it was scary af.
Daniel Moore
Just do it in the Smith machine. Better to be in pussy town than snap city.
Austin Rogers
Never heard of this grip before, definitely won't be using it
Ethan Phillips
lol I've been benching alone and adding weight for months
it's normal to lift alone, just do 5-8 reps, it's easier to stop before failing a rep
