When I need a spotter for bench I usually look for someone I know in the gym. When I can't find anyone I know, i look for one of the biggest guys and try to get them to spot me as I trust they've been doing this long enough that they will make a decent spotter..

None of the real big guys were in the gym, but there was a curl bro who i've seen bench quite a bit. I figured he would probably be a good spotter...made a huge mistake..

He never took his hands off the bar while i benched..so IDK how many reps were legit..

never again...

anyway, school is killing me right now. last deadlift session i REALLY focused on the tips i was given on fixing my dead lift form..felt a lot better but a little weaker...I'm definitely meant to sumo DL..but i'm sticking with conventional for now.

Happened to me before too many times. I even tell them don't touch it unless I fail.

So now I just pucker up my butthole and bench without a spotter (if gym partner isn't there).

So they don't listen even after you expressly tell them not to touch the bar?

How retarded are these people...

Last gym mock meet, on my last attempt, I had a grinder and stalled for about 3 seconds closer to the top. Guy grabs it...

The unwritten rule is you don't touch the damn bar until one of 2 things happen. Dude sqeaks out for the help or the bar is actually going in the wrong direction aka back down toward their chest.
