Half-A$$ bench press

[CoBra666]

I always load up and take a couple backward steps from the rack so that way I can walk forward and see where the hangars are when I'm putting the bar down easier

Also the mirror would be in front of me this way too. Just more machines and ppl to see the other way

Yeah, I do that too, but these three are facing the opposite direction, so when they re-rack the weight they need to back up into the hangers. Since there is no mirror in front of them, they are blindly looking for the hangers.

the way woody described is how the squat rack is situated in my gym

take A step back from where its loaded towards the "oh shit" bars/angle iron

did you really ask this?

I face the rack so i can see to rack the bar obviously.
So what do they do?
Back up until they bump into it and hope its set in the pins right?
Btw i WO at home, have my own rack.
But i still go to the gym ed and do those curls

haha...Ive had more than a few teenage kids doin curls in the squat rack at my gym

yeah...Ive seen the blind back up and Im always waiting for something horrible to happen

my cure for the curling/benching teenagers that are just earning scene points is to start lifting more than they do and look really annoyed

they always leave...probably terrible for their ego
