If you're worried go into the power rack, nobody will give you shit if you bench more than they squat.

That's stupid, with the two of you its like less than 1pl8 of force output needed should you fail.

I mean. I've had girls spot my 200+kg squats, it's fine because there's like two of them + myself.

should I stop trying to push my limits or ask someone to spot my last set?

Leave a rep or two in the tank if you're highrepping ompounds
Go to failure on isos

I'm honestly too shy to ask for a spot. I don't want to waste anyone's time

>>37617426
Isn't it always better to leave one in the tank for mass gains, while failure is best for strength gain?

I mean I train at a PL club, might as well when I'm training in a place full of strong people.

Training to failure is a stupid american meme, you should NEVER fail a set in training.
