just saw someone get stuck

[perp69]

I don't find it too particularly stupid. Granted I don't think he should've added more weight after the first heavily spotted rep, but nothing horrible. At least it was better than the tools at my gym that load it up and barely move.

I get stuck all the time, but never had a spotter. Learned how to pop the weight off my back and release so it hits the ground instead of my spine. I've seen plenty of guys I thought would get buried by the weight rep it out easily...and plenty of big guys who could barely squat at all.

Good thing about squatting ATF is I can just lean a bit when in the hole and slide the weight off onto the bars of the squat rack. When working up to my max I expect to get stuck and prefer to dump it than have a spotter anyway. I only use a spotter if I don't have a way to safely dump the weight.

I've never found a decent spotter for squatting anyways. I had one dumbass run over to try and help me, hugging me and pulling me, threw me so far off balance I dropped the bar anyways.

I never squat anywhere but with a power rack, and have never had a problem dumping it if I got stuck. If I had 2 spotters, it might be easier to spot, but still they'd just be standing there. I don't want anyone to touch the bar while I'm lifting. My GF stands guard now, she'll tell jerkoffs to get out of the way.

I like squatting my rack at home so if I have to dump it there's nobody there to laugh at me. The safety bars are nice too.

I always knew you were gay

So then you dump the bar and get out of her way? Tell us the end of the story!

ya -- no shit -- you never do know -- there are guys at my gym -- for example, one kid -- 21 years old 160lbs about 5'8 -- benches 315 on his last set for a good 6+ reps... kinda sad for me lol

I am slow, so I can't find the humor in a spoted triple w/ good form. Again, I am a fat powerlifter so I know very little. And anyone that fails in the hole must be too stupid to chose their weight correctly...or they are making sure they are really maxing..wait, I am stupid, no real lifters get stuck in the hole. I need to retrain my puney brain on how the big boys do it.

What do you squat?

+1

I am recovering from a back injury and the other day I got stuck with very little weight on the bar, during benching. This was because my lumbar was in so much pain from the arc, that I basically couldn't move. I rolled the weight off. Nothing funny there, I was simply on a battle to recover.

I am much better now, back to squatting, deading and benching and ramping 'em up.
Lets go !
POWERLIFT!

Lot of +1's for good ol' AL
