Just do dumbbell bench press, no need for a spotter to really be able push yourself to your limits and it's way better for chest development.
my first day at the gym I was benching 10x50 kg.
First set I was supremely lightheaded, second set I failed at like 6 reps. I got trapped between the bar and the bench, you know. A mother and daughter (dark, kinda asian looking 19y/o 6/10 and mother) helped the weight off me
Ye I been there too user

i wish i knew this feel.
Even 2-3 months in I could only bench 80 lbs. I don't know if I'll ever escape these noodle arms. Even when I had my fat NEET phase and was 176lbs no muscle my arms looked practically the same as when I was 120lbs on track in high school.
