I sure hope the dude in my gym is reading this....
So yeah, in a pretty good mood today, gotta go take a piss between sets. So by the time I get back, it's getting late for my set.
This guy tags me for a spot. I absolutely despise spoting people as it takes too much time. I am quickly reminded of this the second he lies down, gets ready and all that shit... Regretting having said yes already...
Tells me he wants a lift and to follow him, gonna do 3-4 reps with 3 plates a side. Fine, do it, finish, and get back to my own shit...
He just presses the weight up, says "follow me" and since my fingers were not under the bar, he racks the weight and says "never mind"
You fuckin' joker... Follow what exactly??? YOu had not even moved the fuckin' weight one inch you permafatass bulker.
I just paused, said "yeeeeeaaahhhh" in a loud, slow sarcastic way. Kinda how the Boss in office space would say it...
Anyone ever asks me a spot again and that dude is there, will just blurt out "NO and go ask that dude why"
Even let the door close in the face of the person behind me when I left the gym. No more being even remotely polite no more, fuck it, that is abuse of my good will and now it's never gonna come back.
Gonna have to find someone else willing to perform bent over rows while you do your "bench" dipshit.

I dont ask for spots if I'm working alone, since I don't want to bother anyone or use weight that I can't handle by myself. But I'd hope you would be nice to me if I see you and say hello from Svengoolie.

Agreed. What these fatasses mean is "can you lift 312 lbs off me while I crush 3lbs." Go to the pec dec fairy.
-
There is always one guy at my gym who asks for a spot. The problem is that he talks my ear off before actually doing the set. Also, he does these crazy drop sets. For instance, he loads up the smith machine with like 8, 10 pound plates (80 pds on each side). Then he begins to do a drop set by removing one 10 pound plate after each set, so hes doing like 8 sets. Shit takes forever.

pretty sure he fucked off to some machine after... was not gonna start checking everything he does, nothing to see or learn from other than how to "not do an exercise..."

always the weakest and dumbest fucks who ask for spots.
Remeber one time a tthe gym the PT was trying to show off. dude is small as fuck always walking around with invis lats and chest out mean mugging me. Anyways he goes and loads the bar with 3 plates on each side....Goes down for 1 rep and he cant get it back up LOL. Was only me and 2 other people in the gym, i pretended like i didnt see or hear shit(headphones of peace) and the 2 other retards ran to his aid. was the best fucking thing ive ever seen.
-
Lol when this happens to me I let it sit on their chest for a minute. They either rack it or try again and I let it sit a little longer.
Don't let the clowns get to you bro.

His problem should not be your problem. the purpose of drop sets is to not have to ask for a spotter I thought, lol... That is just some dude who needs attention. That drop set is just youtube material, lol...
-
I don't spot anyone unless i know them.
It's awesome when some asshole asks for a spot on bench and you end up getting a dead lift workout. This one guy always asks me for a spot on bench when he sees me. He will load up 405-430 and want to do 5 forced reps with it. I had to tell him to fuck off a while back, thought i was going to hurt my back spotting this asshole. The funny thing is he can only bench 350 once without a "spot" and this fucker wants to load 430 on there.
I can't remember the last time i asked for a spot.

Trust me, I was just waiting to be able to let that happen say if were to...
-
If you know someone is a training imbecile and asks you to spot him with heavy a weight, just do what I do... say you blew your lower back out and you're not able to do it safely.
-
just tell them that you wont help them with more than one 'forced rep' and they'll usually pick another dude
-

No, which is why I may volunteer for round two after all...

Hahaha!

Actually had to say that to one person. He trains everything in 1/10th of a rep range (not joking, but he's pretty huge....)
And the guy is like 6'3 would have me pick up an ez bar with 245 off the floor and place it in his extended arms while lying on a bench. Fuck man, I'd be seeing stars after that and would weaken my arms for my next set. Told him I was done with that shit. Would kill my wrists and to find some other guy to spot him.

Sounds like you love the cock.

Well geez, why else would I be here??? Not may chicks around and the one's who are here probably have a bigger cock than me.

I spotted some giant permabulker once, for two sets, and the fucker doesnt even acknowledge me with a "thank you". Just totally ignored me. I hope he asks me again, as if my anxiety isnt kicking in i will politely say, "sorry man, you didnt even bother to thank me for the last time i stopped my workout to spot you, so no thank you"

Do you want to talk about it?

I stopped doing BB benching partly so I wouldn't ever have to ask a random gym cockmonkey to spot me and risk getting hurt. I would never ego lift and always had total control but sometimes my left shoulder shuts down and I need to end the set prematurely.
I never do forced reps , but if for whatever reason my shoulder gives out at the end of the set, I would explain that I need the weight racked ASAP and don't make me 'work it' - no forced rep just help me rack it.
instead they would almost always make me work through that last 4" in excruciating pain as my shoulder caves in on itself and I cant lift for the following two weeks.
DBs solve that problem nicely

If you need a spot,you`re going too heavy.
I used to spot this guy on inclines with 305..........he`d do one sloppy rep and I`d upright row it for the next 4 reps. :(
Fuck that noise!

If someone (other than two powerlifters in our gym that I'm good friends with) asks me for a spot I just say no, simple as

not sure I will ever allow myself to use that stuff, never used it, not sure I ever will.
@Mr Thong, that would suck. People today suck. 0 eye contact made when handshakes are done, texting on their phones as they talk to you on the side, fuck man, what the hell is this shit???

I also bench in my power rack (going back to the previous squat/spot thread).
If I fail, it rests perfectly on the rails. No need for (stupid) human interaction...

Best way to bench...

Another good way is to use lighter weight so you don't need a spotter and have less chance of injury. Or use dumbells.

TL:DR:FY
-
x 2 on the power rack, use it religiously when training at home, can even purposefully finish on the negative if desired.
If training at works gym I know if my last rep took about 3 times as long to lock out and was almost grinding to a halt the whole way, common sense says not to try for another.
-
I occasionally spot someone who asks for one. It's no big deal really. If I'm spotting them on the bench press, I keep my hands just under the bar so they know it's up to them to lift it and only when they are obviously going to fail do I pitch in and help or rack it for them should they absolutely fail the lift. They don't have to return the favor because I am not into lifting more weight then I know I can handle.

I do decline bench presses on the Smith machine and sometime incline bench presses too. It's a really good way to push yourself safely. The gym has a hammer bench press that has independent arms for each side. There is no way you can drop it on your neck strangling yourself. Another benefit of using this equipment is that each side has to do the same work....you can't use your strong side to pick up the slack from your weaker side like in a regular barbell bench.
-
Anyone asks me for a spot I tell them to try lifting a weight they can handle. Never goes down well, but hey I don't owe some strange gym douchebag anything.
-
I dont spot people.

If someone (other than two powerlifters in our gym that I'm good friends with) asks me for a spot I just say no, simple as
I just fart...I stand over them and let one out...No one ever asks again
-
I don't mind spotting but will ask beforehand what type of spot the lifter wants. Some guys don't actually require a spotter but ask for one purely for safety reasons, others will need assistance the moment the bar is unracked...etc
-
When you stop some douche on the benchpress you assist him when he fails then you think hes going to rerack the barbell after that but no the retards keeps doing reps after reps and you are fucking upright rowing the bar with full force. People are retarded.

For instance, he loads up the smith machine with like 8, 10 pound plates (80 pds on each side). Then he begins to do a drop set by removing one 10 pound plate after each set, so hes doing like 8 sets. Shit takes forever.

I think we found the guy here who's a chatter box and loves the drop sets as you described SF1900....
-
i spotted a guy once - no thank you, no acknowledgement at all after the first set so I went back to what I was doing. 5 minutes later I hear this goon whistle and I look up, he's looking at me and goes "Yep", beckons me over and lies down on the bench again.
I kept going with what I was doing and left him there, he sits up looking annoyed and calls out "Now!"
I left him to it but I've seen him since grabbing someone and making them hover around him while he works out.
I've thought I should have gone back and then left him mid set...

Next time you dont have to use so many 10 pound plates, gimmick muscle man 2013.

Answer his question using only angry German language. He won't ask again.

Well done. I guess it must have taken you awhile to read my post but it seems as though you got there in the end. Ask your mom to put a gold star on your 'reading chart' for you tonight.

when someone new ask me to spot him I always pretend to be deaf and not too sharp (this is the easy part): they just let the thing fall and usually ask somebody else ;D

Smith machine. My days of using a regular bench are long gone.

oh trust me! I play the role you mention to the core. Was out of character for a few mins, got caught, sure as hell won't happen again.

I saw an idiot get nailed with 275 on the bench.........not one lousy rep unassisted then goes for 300 on his next set.
His training partner had huge traps! :(
-
The first sign that you shouldn't spot someone is if they call you "bro" or "brah". Hey bro, can you spot me? No, fuck off and die shit turd.

I see, still mad he didn't acknowledge your existence. It's alright, you can always hope that he'll whisper sweet things in your ear in the showers. Keep your chin up :*
