The guy on the bench is responsible to ask for a squat in advance.

135 isn't a lot but it pisses me off when people are consistiently lifting way more than they're capable of and always need a spot. A spotter should spot or even give you a lift but spotting someone shouldnt' turn into a second work-out.

Thanks doc. See, you guys should listen. doc is a chiropractor and he will tell you I could have injured my back.

I was in the middle of a set of deadlifts, nothing over the top, 365 for 8 when I notice this 150lb turd loading 135lb's on the bench behind me. He hops around for a couple of minutes and then jumps under the weight. I was doing a bit of stretching when I noticed the bar was in a slow downward movement, I thought maybe he is doing a negative, but then it just dead stopped on his chest. Pause, maybe? After about 10 seconds he raised his head, looked at me and asked if "hey man can I get a spot" to which I pointed at my lower back and told him I couldn't risk injury. Some 110lb desk worker chick finally wrestled it off him. It was pretty damn comical.
So I finished my 3rd set of 365 and gave him an old-school head nod greeting and left.

you're a loser. The one who is only tough with little boys.

Why was he benching something so heavy to him that he could tell he couldn't lift it , even on the way down?

Noone is that stupid , I think we've been had

"you couldnt risk injury" helping some body struggling with 135? Your a pathetic mother fucker! Not him! PATHETIC!

OMG LMAO! "I cant help you, might hurt my back!" If you said that to someone in my gym, we woul dbitch slap you!!!!

I can see if the guy had 315 on there or something.

Before you all crucify showstoppa, how many times have you guys seen some moron lifting more than he should without a spot? I bet next time, the guy will make sure he has a spot BEFORE he goes for a heavy lift. I used to stop my set to help someone out, but it happens more than I care to admit.

king · « **Reply #35 on:** April 17, 2006, 10:21:34 AM »

of course he shouldnt have used that.. but u should have still helped him.. i'm sure the kid felt dumb enough as it is

Showstoppa was just giving that kid some tough love. How else is he going to learn his true capabilities in the gym if someone's always around to enable him by helping him lift more than he's able to do on his own?

That kid will thank him someday.

Exactly Dan-O, plus I could have pulled something or slipped a disc. I wonder if any of these tough-guys would be paying my bills when I missed work.
Hell, I should have went over and pushed down on the bar. Stupid little turd interferring with my Iron Warriorness.

No, im not arguing the fact that supposedly the poor guy got buried by 135, but the fact that showstoppa lool..said he couldnt help the guy becaue he didnt want to hurt his back..what a TOOL.

What a f*king joke!!! Come guys give him a break!!! What should he do from here on out? Run around the gym spotting everyone and being the "gym spotter"? If you can't handle the weight then go home, myself included! At some point people need to learn how to handle weights and not get in over there head. Ever heard of the smith machine? I'm not saying I would or woudn't help him but that's not my call, I wasn't there. Showstoppa had an agenda and it was to teach the kid a lesson, not wipe his a$$ for him. Besides, I have never heard of 135lb bench press hurting anyone who got stuck with it!

The saddest part of the story was when the kid was rescued before the weight could crack his ribcage.
