Nearly killed myself benching because my normal spotter is sick and I was too retarded to ask for a spot or use a power cage. What's the best way to chill out after something like that? I've felt really on edge for nearly an hour.
Also, share the stupidest thing you've ever done in the gym so I can feel better about myself.

How did this happen? Are you benching to your neck? Bench to your chest brainlet
i've been benching without a spotter for years and this has never happened
learn how to bench correctly
>not benching till failure, for years
>gonna make it
You can only choose one senpai.
I bench to failure without a spotter all the time, just roll the bar to your hips and sit up
How the hell did it fall on your neck? Are you a former employee of the Hilary campaign?
Also don't bite off more than you can chew without a spotter dumbass, just do some volume instead.
log off
probably not that interesting of a story desu.
FYI this is the "proper" way to bench to failure without a spotter.
>neck
Thought I could get it to the rack. Off by half a centimeter. Read the post, I already know I'm a moron.
Got a spotter now, though.
>got mildly drunk
>gym time!
>suddenly decide it's overhead squat day
>nearly knock myself out dropping LMAO1plate on my head
Benching to failure is shit for your gains. Bench with a higher weekly volume
v
>overhead squat day
Eyes should be under the bar, lift and lower to chest. Simples!
Had same happen, just rolled over and let weights drop off.
Though, now always use safety bars/cage system if fitted.
you're a complete retard
you should not be doing any heavily loaded barbell compound to failure, or you aren't going to be lifting "for years", you'll just be another snapped up retard boomer who used to bench 405 in high school or whatever the fuck

You're a fucking brainlet, but if you keep that up I bet you'll make it no problem
>he doesn't know yet
I mean u could just bench a normal weight that you can handle and then stop when u feel that u cannot do a couple more,
imagine needing a spotter to lift lmao
>Bench 135 5x5 without a problem
>Next time 140 5x5, fail 5th rep of 4th set
So do I just bench 1pl8 forever or what
I was 15 and squatting in my power rack in our garage. I decide to box squat but don't adjust my safety pins. Great workout, I go for an extra rep on my last set like an idiot (No one else is home, mind you). I go down and can't get back up properly off the box, and I fall forward as I try to readjust while sitting on the box. The bar comes down on my neck, just barely being saved from decapitation by my safety bars which are partially supporting the weight. I was using a benhc that went all the way in front of me for some reason, so I was pinned between the bench and the bar with 315 pounds on my neck. I managed to squeeze out but I didn't squat again for a couple days.
If I had those safety bars one hole lower I probably wouldn't be here.
its about feeling the weight in your muscle, making it tear not about how much u lift
