So anyway, I am benching yesterday and I ask some dude to spot me on a burn out set 1 min after my last work set... I ask this little 135 lb dude for the spot since it is only 275 on the bar.... Anyway, the dude helps me get the last one up (16th rep) and proceeds to say -
"You know you should keep your feet close together when you bench or you will likely cause a muscle imbalance in your shoulders or overcompensate for a side if it gets weaker"
to which I said -
"That is funny cause when I have noticed that if you have 400+ on the bar if you have your feet close together you could very likely end up in the hospital when your ass tips off the side of the bench"
(yes sorry, I did pull the meathead card here)
to which he says -
"well I am a "ABCDE" (or whatever) trainer and I just thought you should know"
being that I am getting older I restrained myself and said -
"well I will keep that in mind" and rolled my eyes as I unloaded plates while he walked away....
punk ass trainers who wiegh 135 shoudl not be giving advice to 250lb dudes putting up 400+. to think I gave him props for putting up bodyweight.
bastards.
