How do you feel about these spotters
« on: November 10, 2009, 04:16:57 AM »
So you go for your all time best - you look around the gym to indentify somebody who doesnt look too busy to spot you.
you walk over and ask him to give you a spot... he agrees happily.
all looks good he asks the right questions as in..
1) How many reps?
2) Do you want me to assist you to take the weight off?
3) Do you want me to help you with forced reps ?

Then comes the moment and you take the weight off - you get ready to lower the weight to your chest and WTF!!!!!!!!
the douche checks out the ass of a skank that just walks past him.

Fucking cunts....

maybe he didn't think he should be prepared for a force rep on your first rep with 135

I never ask for a spot, better to die under the bar then having to talk to some random.

själv försöker jag ha min balle DIREKT ovanför perssonens ansikte när jag hjälper någon på bänken.  Vet inte vad ni gör, men det är det jag gör.

yeah but you see in my case it was a personal best - and I told him : Okay I try for one - watch me closely because I broke my wrist a while back and the douch looks away.

only thing worse is using a trainer from LA. While visiting Crunch gym I hired a trainer to see what his suggestions would be. variety, ya know.  The douche took a cell call from his AGENT telling him of an audition later that afternoon.  oi vey.  btw, his 'suggestion' was ...steroids.

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.

That was your first mistake - never ask for a spot when you're attempting your all-time best from someone who's never spotted you before.

He probably figured the weight you were lifting was so light that you wouldn't need help till you got to at least 10 reps.

have you seen the showers at a Crunch gym?  They are right past the check in counter ; down a long hallway; women go one side / guys the other. All along this hallway are opaque glass walls that form one wall of the showers - and they are backlit.  So, the adventurous male or female that wants their sillouette to be seen can use one of these shower stalls.  Sometimes very nice sights.

That tells me one thing, your max lift is a joke.  If it was a big lift all eyes would be on you, not some slut. How did the 135 feel?

Just roll the bar down your abs to get it off when you are stuck,  ;D it will make them sore as hell though. And I never lock the plates on the bar either so what could go wrong. 

Just flip the bar as a last resort, it's pretty funny, because for some seconds it lives it's own life, tipping back and forward while dumping the weights, and there is a good amount of noise as well.   :)
