Gyms can have autistic rules. Mine doesn't allow you to take your shoes off while lifting. I train in running shoes because i do a lot of cardio before and after. I used to take them off in my old gym because i don't want to deadlift with my heels elevated unnaturally. Owner of new gym said i couldn't do that it's against the rules. Not because of hygienic reason, but because of safety concerns.
Just ask the closest guy to your bench who looks like he knows what to do to spot your for a set.
Dominic Peterson
This, sounds like the kind of gym people go and do cardio at
Angel Cruz
>doing bench press in power rack You deserve to be banned from every fucking gym >b-but I need safeties Ask for a spot or do it with dumbbells you stupid shit.
Luke Ward

You can bench 110lbs x10 per hand with good form ? Procure video you shitty liar
Aiden Collins
>people die because of lmao2plate >no one can lift that off of you
you went full retard
Camden Martin
By the time it's lifted off someone's chest it's already too late. Retard. Someone post that webm.
Juan Ramirez
The idea of spotting is so when you start to fail a rep you dont get pinned under the weight you retard. If you drop the bar on yourself thats your problem
Carson Young
I said nobody can catch it midair you imbecile. Unless you have a gay gains stealing spotter who has his hands on the bar when he isn't supposed to
hope you die vid related sorry don't have gif at hand
Bentley Moore
Im surprised he was able to get up even if he died I keep to 100kg bench at most so I dont fuck myself up so bad if I drop the bar but it would still be pretty painful
Isaiah Perez
>surprised he was able to get up even if he died internal bleeding you know? Yeah I am stalling at 100kg so I guess I won't neck myself anytime soon
Cameron Martinez
Yes I'd be surprised he got up if he died too.
Carter Cooper
I wish my gym did this, too many fuckboys using the power rack for bench while I'm waiting to fucking SQUAT
Ethan Reyes
power rack directly next to treadmill
what kind of shit gym do you go to?
Colton Ramirez
Home gym master race
Zachary Thomas
spotter should only have to lift equal to couple kg only if you can srsly try to lift it in the 1st place
James King
Did he ever smash a hole in the wall for the bar to travel? I forget what happened with that
Cameron Perry
I would have told them to fuck themselves and finished my set
Christopher Garcia
...
Angel James
you should fart on that treadmill fatty next time you see him
Benjamin Perry
Suicide grip
Nathaniel Jones
>OOOO THAT'S GOTTA HURT
Julian Morgan
did he died?
Elijah Roberts
Yes. Not right away, but it caused internal damage that killed him later that day.
Jaxon Adams
you're just a retard
link them that 16yo aus kid dying from bench, then say sure i'll attempt it over there alone without safeties, but when if i get injured you're going to be liable
Carson Jackson
>was the receptionist being a cunt >was op being an autist >find out in the next episode of op's blogpost
Easton Brown
How is this a suicide grip? It looks like it slipped out of his hands.
Andrew Brooks
hahaha fucking russians
Elijah Hernandez
That's why it's called a SUICIDE grip, fucking hell.
Aaron White
But it literally wasn't a thumbless grip bench, user
Alexander Murphy
fpbp don't let those losers steal your gains, find somewhere else
Grayson Gomez
>power rack is located next to the treadmills stopped reading right there, wtf
Grayson Martinez
He later woke up dead in hospital from eternal bleeding, surviving with minor injuries. He died instantly the next day.
Isaiah Morris

Justin Walker

Cameron King
Are you some kind of little bitch? > Hitting two pl8 and not knowing how to fail a bench press properly youtube.com/watch?v=fEUvI8Q6JDk Skip to 0:38 Practice with 1pl8 on your technique, do lots of shoulder mobility. It really isn't that hard m8. You don't need a spotter, clips or safety bars
Easton Davis
>wtf
Josiah Campbell
One fine day in the middle of the night...
Dominic Richardson
This isn't actually that hard. I've gone up to 150's before. Granted it's only for like two reps but still. If you do dumbbells routinely you develop pretty good control of them.
>He doesn't even lift...
Ian Cox
>random fucking holes everywhere
Christian Howard
I read Veeky Forums to escape crypto melancholy. Don't post that here
THIS IS A BLUE BOARD AAAGGH
David Ramirez
>I speak english
Elijah Price
Nigga kill yourself.
Thomas Ramirez
Spotters aren't there to catch the fucking bar you god damn moron, they are there to help you get the weight up if you are failing. They only need to be able to lift like 5% of the weight for you.
Adrian Morales
>Benching in the power rack
Matthew Cook
What an amazing thread
Jaxon Collins
>Needing safeties for 225
I hope you meant 225kg. 225lbs won't hurt you unless you have osteoporosis or drop the weight on yourself. If you drop the weight on yourself, you probably deserved it. Fail a set of 225, and roll the weight off the bench, and you'll see that it's not bad.
Ryan Turner
Most insurance companies require shoes be worn for them to cover the injury.
Cameron Gomez
as soon as the clock turned 12:00 am, he died. rip
