The other night I am in the gym......working chest......going to start with bench presses.
So I proceed to do my three warm up sets......I get to my heavy set and decide to look around for a spotter.....just in case I get stuck......maybe 4-5 guys in the gym due to the fact that it is 9 pm......find one guy who says he will help me out......so I rest for a few minutes.....get a drink of water......do a few seconds of meditation......get pumped up and all of a sudden this fella says to me........."HOW MUCH IS ON THE BAR????" I say 335.......he says Wow.....Right before the lift off he says "I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A HELP I'LL BE"........Now I am thinking oh shit.....can't believe he said that.....what a negative thing to say right before I commence my set.....The guy evidently had never really given a spot.....funny thing is he looked fairly well built and seemed to be able to give a lift off and spot......I guess this reminds me of the old saying......NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.....anyhow.....let's hear your stories of piss poor spots in the gym!
