Always train within your limits

[CherryPopinski]

Never do maximal lifts by yourself, and if you train to failure do it with movements where you can safely disengage lest you end up TomatoBrah dead srs

I like Nigerians but I loathe AAs.

He died trying to see the beauty and strength of which his body was capable.

[headturner1]

That sucks.

If lifting alone, I never would use collars (ever).

[radrd]

Or don't be a tard and lift in a rack with safety pins.

Cliffs? Not watching that chit

it was not easy to watch.
His grip looked wide from this angle and his body did involuntary spasms as he died or lost consciousness.
Bar was sitting on his neck

[Dave22reborn]

I'm actually jealous that he found a gym that's so empty.

[Sergis]

Tore my pec once trying a one rep max. My dad was spotting me, but no way he could rerack once my chi chi tore. Thank god we didn't have collars on. Chest ripped, bar on chest and then we just tilted them to the side. My dad held the bar so it didn't fling back.

I thought you should always bench with no collars on. You cant really have safety bars below your chest, unless they are right at your face. And collars on when you are squatting. Hopefully with safety bars, but also know how to bail out. Besides deadlifting too much and not putting too much weight over your head, I don't know what else to do to avoid buying real estate in snap city.

Safety bars work well if you arch a bit. If you can't get the rep you just flatten your back and put the weight on the safety bars.

Hmm makes sense. I've got a full rack so I might try that. I never really had much arch in my bench. Not as bad as those girls with no arch during doggy though. Atrocious.

Fumbled any fitness milfs lately OP?

from what i remember, the backstory is the guy used the gym outside of opening hours so he was alone.

family is suing the gym also

[bigbtree]

He died? How is this allowed on twitter? Who released this video should be sued.

But this is why I don't bench press...Why risk it when you can just use dumbbells? Or a machine?
I think I want to start trying to do some bench presses though but if I do I will definitely be in the squat rack or at least a smith machine.

Nah not since the 50 year old lady when I ordered lemonade at a bar lol 😂

I agree and always have an arch in my upper back as it's better for power and targeting the pecs. With that said, a lot racks have height increments that just don't work for me - either they're too high for the bar to touch my chest or they're too low to save me. I still always use safety arms when I can get them at the right height though.

The video in the OP is brutal. One of the reasons I'm in the no collars for bench crew.

[johnvee73]

Did he died?

Glad I have a squat rack at home, my home gym cost like 3k, no regrets.

[GhostofCricket]

This is why you practice failing, lift with a spotter, use safety bars, and if you aren't retarded, avoid barbell bench (DB is way better for you and safer).

Finally someone who isn't retarded. Don't even bother with bench. DB bench and incline is all you will ever need.

It's supposed to be below your chest, you lower it to your chest and roll it up to your neck which is lower than the safety height. If you drop the bar it will bounce off your chest but won't choke you out

I lold when the video showed it was originally 37 minutes.

Good luck with that. You sign so much paperwork that it's pretty much impossible.

Well, I guess I'll continue with flat bench, and the pec Dec.

[Dave22reborn]

Suing the gym? Just take accountability of your son being a fool and attempting a 1rm on flat bench without any spotters. It's not like the bench snapped or the equipment was faulty. He made a choice. Sad it turned out to be the last one but he made it.

Never use a spotter any more for anything, because the ego lifting is over. I'm in my 40s, and focus more on form and control now.

[MetroBrah]

This is why I stopped benching, squatting and deadlifting srs
