I almost had this, but the spotter touched the bar before I could grind it out. !@#*.

Same spotter. Same problem. Even though I explicitly told him not to. Oh well.

Not that hard. Got a much better spotter this time.

I want names. People like this should be blacklisted.
ReplyDeleteI think it was "big-armed-guy-with-skinny legs", or it might have been "guy-that-does-bench-press with-225-and-looks-at-you-like-he-owns-you." Or it could've been Chris =).
ReplyDeleteI don't have skinny legs, big arms or a 225 bench, so there. :P
ReplyDeleteFrank, you can try to order from EFS this bar:

I had the same issue a while ago. I complained about it on the blog too lol. Not much we can do if we don't know the people that are spotting us.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get his name, but he was a tall, lanky, older guy with glasses. I should really learn to do my bench/lockout sessions when you guys are around, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd it wasn't Paul. Paul is pretty good about spotting.
ReplyDeleteClearly, lanky = bad spotter. You want to pick compact people, who are willing to wedge themselves under the bar if need be.
ReplyDeleteYes, we like Paul...he's one of the good guys.
