who do you ask to spot you in your bench press? I always hear

Someone who looks competent, rather a man because they can lift and women think you're just hitting on them

Check yourself for autism.

Ask anyone who looks like they lift, im sure theyre familiar with the concept of spotting.

>>38882081
i don't really ask for spot anymore, im making small increments in weight and know my strength
but if i needed to get a spot i'd ask a person that looks like he lifts or a trainer

I messed up my second week of lifting on 3x10 35 kg

I had to do the roll of shame at the last rep, I thought I could pull the last 2 off but I failed....

now the roll of shame was very bad and hurt my abs, I think I bruised them.

do you think it's hernia and not just a bruise? fuck man... i havent even started lifting and i fucked everything up

EVERYONE KEEPS STEALING MY LAST REPS

>>38882081

I don't have a spotter because home gym master race but I've failed bench alone with heavy weights a few times.

Cause I'm not a fat fuck with a gut I just roll the bar down to my hips sit up and then stand up.

Never needed a spotter

Whoever is closest that's not busy and isn't a tiny/weak girl. If I need help, a little assistance is all that's needed.

Just tell them hands off unless the bar goes down.

u can only lift 77 lbs?

>>38882349
He isnt counting the bar you stupid FUCK.

>>38882349
>>38882361
to be honest I actually count the bar, I know I am weak as fuck, but I am determined to change it.

>>38882325
So you rolled of shame 3-4 pl8s or do you consider 1.5-2 plates "heavy"?

>>38882371
No problem there bro. The point of being in the gym is to improve.

The biggest meme we fall for is looking past that fact.

You can literally ask anyone. Sometimes I'll ask a scrawny kid or heck, even a girl (sometimes just so I can have someone to mire me).

Realize that even when you fail, your spotter is only lifting a small component of the weight - you should be able to do the rest. And if not? You're lifting way outside of your zone and should learn to /fit/

You're gonna die some day. Get a rack with safeties if you want to bench alone.
