Anyone?

leave your ego at the door faggot

^^^^^

Have to

>>41790172
Yes, everyone.

At least it means you were actually at your max and you only have to feel like a pussy instead of actually being one.

>>41790381
This.
Failure is the best feel for me, it means I gave it everything I had. And I'll be stronger for it next week.

>>41790130
I set up my equipment so I don't need a spotter. Unless one is at a serious lifting gym you can't trust a random to actually know what to do. I've had someone pull the weights without prompting and nearly crush my chest during a front squat.

Failure is part of success, get used to it and study it.

That's nothe even bad. Try

>When you have to ask a random guy in the gym to spot you and you get all tight on the bench, set up, unrack the weight and he puts his hands on the bar when you don't need it and you've already unracked so it's too late to tell him not to do that shit without losing your tightness so you just go through the set but you're not sure if you can count any of those reps as real

This "feel like a pussy," must be a young kid thing; I think, "damn, I'm not there yet, but I'll get there soon."

REEEEE

>>41790723
why didn't you ask for a spot you dumbo

>>41790723
>failing this much

Ego dyel lifter confirmed

How's your first year of training going?

Just saying, because nobody with lifting experience and knowledge of their own body will fail that much in 1 session regardless of how bad it is

>ask random guy at uni gym to spot me
>he's some chubby Mexican kid, likely freshman
>attempting to set new bench PR

That day aside I can consistently hit 235x5. I was only going for 225x3 on my warmup so I didn't think anything of it. Third rep got me, wasn't expecting that. When I went down to 205, I went for 205x5 because that's what I had done before the set at 225 and it went fine. Second time around 205x5 I failed on the last rep, that really came out of nowhere. Just a shit day.
