we just post the same old shit over and over now?';

'Honestly how can you end up like this? How can you end up in such position? I have had the roll of shame in the past. It was pathetic but also funny in a way. I always smile when I think about it';

'>>74225357
What I don't get about these videos is where the fuck does the bravery to attempt a 1RM with no safeties or spotter even come from? The guy was hitting 2.5 pl8 so obviously he wasn't a total beginner. He knew the risks, he knew the consequences of failing a rep, he knew he was attempting a weight that he would struggle with etc. It's psychotic. How do you get to that strength level (not saying 2.5 pl8 is impressive but it's something) without having any basic understanding of the risks involved?';

>no safeties';

'>>74225357
wonder what went through his head once the bar rolled onto his neck... that's a tough way to go';

'>>74225458
Can you even roll of shame with that much arch?';

'>>74225771
yeah just hold the weight on your chest, lift your legs up and down to get rid of the arch?
But the retard never released his grip with his legs and then rolled the bar over his body.';

'>>74225357
It's common sense to not use clips when going for a bench pr without a spotter.';

'>>74225357
He really fucked up. The clips are secondary, I have no idea why he didn't get his ass down and start the roll of shame. This is why I never 1RM bench and never will without a spotter.';

'>>74225357
Who the fuck still puts clamps on their weights when benching. Whonp the fuck uploaded this is an even bigger question.';

'bros, I'm a newfag
do the things on the side help? Like the safety bars on the sides of these lifting stations
as effective as spotters, right? I was in this situation once, but I pushed it on the side and was lifting the weights with both of my hands from the other side so it wouldn't compress my neck, some chad helped
my gym only has ONE lifting station with that shit and it's always occupied by some 50000 tonne bald, bearded fat bastard that's built like a titanium egg with arms bigger than my torso
today, no one was on it, but it had a HUGE fucking weight I've never seen in my life right on the "bed", looked like 100 kilograms or some shit, just one circle, nothing more';

'>>74225880
Of course safeties work. I only lift at home and wouldnt even dare bench without my safeties.
I do need to get a better rack tho, my safeties are bit sketchy but they do handle 110kg at least.';

'>>74225357
What is the point of this power cage if there is no way to set up safeties? Might as well just bench using a squat stand or a regular bench press';

As long as your chest can bare the weight without taking your air away, you can always do the roll of shame. You roll the weight down your body to your hips and then stand up with it, holding it like a deadlift.';

oh, so you can do that
I was worried about it pulverizing my cock';

'>>74225880
Safeties work, dumbbells work, Swiss bars work (if somehow one side gets stuck on your neck it's not that big a deal and it's fairly easy to move but they can hurt your chest anyway)';

'dumbbell bench press doesn't have this problem';

'>>74225357
This is one of my greatest gym fears; I go to a commercial gym, so I'll always have someone to help if I fuck up this hard, but the idea still scares the fuck out of me. This is why you never push for a PR with a spotter, and if you insist on going without a spotter you don't use the clips.';

>Swiss bars
damn, so that's what these weird things are for';

'>>74225771
He dropped it on it his neck because he refused to drop the weight. If he dropped the arch in his back, the weight would have fallen lower on his chest and he could roll of shame it. Also don't ever arch your back like a woman taking back shots when your benching. You'll get horrendous back pain.';
