who fucking cares how much you're lifting, bench press is like, the #1 exercise where if you dont have a spotter shit can go bad. you dont have any outs other than dropping the weight on your chest. everything else you have an out.

it doesnt matter whether your pushing your rep # at low weight or weight increase, get a spotter.

hell, i even failed one time re racking the bar after a warm up set where my spotter caught the bar for me.



ps: i do smith machine bench sometimes. seems to hit things a little different too. just make sure you line yourself up under the bar right so you're shoulders are pushing inline.
