Deadly bench press - man dead

[AnTabolic73]

Exactly my previous point. 315 rolling out and trying to catch is a lot different then someone needing a little help to complete that last Rep.

yea some guys get mad when you help with that too. they want you bail em out at that very last second, before death.

If the bar slips out of your hands what is one spotter going to do? If your have 2 spotters, one on either side they can catch it.

Not realistic for most, hard enough to get one good spotter.

I haven't done benchpress since the Academy because of this, I like to go to failure, and who can you trust?

Unless you tear a muscle or have an aneurysm or some such it's not like a spotter has to lift heavy, they just have to be on the ball.

Exactly what kind of academy did you attend...just curious.

No, actual military academy, not college, I went to university after. Long time ago, all of it.

Yeah....seems like a different lifetime...the Sandinista's were the boogie men back then and Nicaragua was the hot spot.....till Beruit blew up.

Definitely shitty that this happened, you have to have a good spotter and know your limits

 

[Brolloks]

Horrible I don't often go for 1rm, but even if I have a spotter I prefer to have sissy bars in place too when going over 330lb.

Yeah, and kids now think Bernie and socialism is cool.... crazy

People have forgotten that when the government redistributes it amounts to taking the delicious meal from the "wealthy" (which really means the middle class) giving everyone a shit sandwich.

OT, sorry

Typical loser, a real man would have walked it off and then did another set.

If you think a spotter is going to catch a 300lb+ barbell that slips out out of your hands as it is dropping, you are nuts. I let my girl spot me on the bench with personal bests. If I can't rack it, I lower it slowly to my chest and then she grabs it and we rack together. It's double incentive, First you don't want the bar on your chest and second you are not going to impress her and get laid if you miss the lift.

Real men who use real weights do not use girls as spotters, where do you live son, in a Disney movie?

Ugh, you're morbid - I'd rather not have that on my retina

I just wanted to post it to point out how BP can go really bad. Maybe a sign of my own paranoia about being under a heavy bar. No videos needed, I have a vivid imagination.

Agreed on the ME vids and other 3rd world places (Thai traffic cams for example...) but that's still not something I want to watch. No snuff stuff for me.

Saw a kid doing suicide grips today in the gym. Scrawny kid too much weight. Dangerous.
