[Kwon]

Thanks Rambone!

[affeman]

At least he can legitimately say he went to failure

[BB]

The bench was hungry again 30 minutes later.....

(Poor guy, but the safeties were set up about one setting too low. RIP.)

[Hulkotron]

Did he make it?

[Kwon]

Did he make it?

Yeah he survived

Use machines or dumbbells.

No sense of benching unless you’re a competitor.

Yes unfortunately for him since the shame will last an eternity

Have you ever heard of squats?

I believe OP meant, “He’s dead, Gym.”

I workout by myself at the gym and do bench. I just leave the collars off and don’t go over 235 much. From the looks of these videos maybe I need to rethink my approach.

why not just get a half rack,, or a power rack? You will not push yourself to true failure doing bench yourself without it.

Good for failing in squats aswell.

Reminds me of Tizwaz back in the day...the dying 🪰

For whatever reason he dropped the bar to his neck instead of his chest.

From the chest, shouldn't usually be a problem if the weights don't have collars.

Metal plates will fall off if the bar is tilted, but in the videos I've seen where they're stuck under the bar, they're often using rubber coated plates and these seem to stick to to each other and are harder to drop from the bar.

Hey, I found em'! They were deep down your throat, feagz

Yep, not only safer but better for the shoulders.

Yeah better for us old farts..    although at home i use a Barbell especially on inclines. I´ve went through periods where i´ve only done inclines on a low incline & no flat press & got good results. Parallel bar dips are more effective imo than flat benches.

How come pushups are not dangerous?

Are pushups dangerous?

Pushups and flat bench press are the same movement.

As long as you can dump the plates you should be ok.

Make sure the plates can slide off.
