It's weird. I'm always grateful for a helping hand.
Sorry, i misread. When
offering a spot, not asking for one.
Happened once, kid about my age. Not very big, had 100kg on the bench, i just offered him one becasue his form was pretty loose and he struggled with 80. I ask if he wants one, pulls a face as if i asked if i could fuck his grandma, then goes "nah man i got this easy" and lies down on the bench.
Got a half rep out with it.....
edit: like James said, i guess it's an ego thing.
