ill do is in cliffs to make it easy
attempting bench press 255x5
none of my spotters around, gf's period started so she left early (fml)
ask fatass black dude on chest press machine for a spot (id estimate 50% bf and 380lbs, super fat)
right off the bat, he tells me my grip is too wide and im doing "superman" bench press. watever the hell those are
places his hands on my chest and pulls every rep up with my push
tells me to flatten my back because arching puts the weight on rotator cuff
rant mode on
i didnt know i asked the world's certified bench pressing sage how to fukin bench. he wanted me to narrow my grip to a close grip bo, then lay flat on the bench and press like that. asked if hes certified to give any advice. response is "i bench 315, i know what im doing." (cuz 315 is god-level streng for a 400lb fatass right? and ive never seen him go over 4 plates in the 10 months ive been at this gym)
my response : "well i am and what youre saying contadicts every single thing ive learned on bodybuilding and powerlifting forms of bench pressing. i arch my back to put the weight on my traps, not my rotator cuff. i dont need you anymore, go over there and do some curls" while looking at the squat rack. i was pretty irritated at that point so i was a little snappy
in the end, this fat bich stole at least a rep and a half out of 6 and idk if i should progress or keep the weight on monday. and im retty damn sure proper spot etiquette is to pull the bar up AFTER it stalls or goes back down, not right at the liftoff
never trust a fatass to spot. i think im gonna put that as my fukin signature now
/endrant
btw, dont go bashing my certification remark. i already know theyre hella stupid. but he didnt know that so i used it as a weapon
