>guy asks me to help him while doing DB bench
>decide to help him by letting him do as much as he can, and then helping him when he starts struggling
>after the set he is annoyed

who was in the wrong here?

I prefer your method, making the lifter actually put in maximum effort and I tell my spotters to help like that. But not everyone does, and some people think a spotter should help way more. I found just asking if they want help/telling them not to touch the bar unless you fail works best

>spotters actually helping with reps
It's a meme, isn't it? It does not actually happen?

>People expecting help like this
Why don't they just lower the weight if they can't even do it by themselves?
Is it just for ego?

unfortunately he was foreign so i could barely understand the prick.

So we're really trying to force this elephant as a new EPICxD meme, huh?

>>40951095
you did what you were suppose to. When i spot people i dont put my hands under the bar untill they obviously struggle with the rep, just to give them the confidence to keep going. Shouldnt need to hold their hand the whole time really

Surprise surprise, not everyone values proper form over muh weights. Lots of beginners will try to move more than they are capable of.

>bench without safeties

I'm so tired of this meme, it's <the current year> for fuck's sake
