Shoulders, Tri's, & A Very Scary Moment

4/28/3

Power Cleans - 5X2 - 135
Push Press - 3X5 - 205
Close Grip Bench - 3X5 - 275, 285, 295, 300 (2), 300(2)

The Push Press felt pretty heavy. I needed to go heavy in order to test myself. I took some time off and I need to know exactly where I am with this.

The close grip bench felt good. 275, 285, & 295 felt great. All fluid except for my lower half.

All of a sudden I come back from a layoff and forget to coordinate my lower body???
I looked for a spot for 300. The kid behind me seemed good enough. Seemed like he could listen. :)
I told him, "this is my last set. I need you to be there for me. I will pound rep 1, 2, and 3 up. If I do get stuck, I need you to help pull me out of it. Do you understand? Do you have any questions?"
He said, "no".
On my 3rd rep I felt my tris fail. I said, "up, up, pick it up. Up!!!" At this point I looked up and saw a place where I could safely get out from under the bar. As you can see, the spotter was not paying attention and did not listen.

The moral of the story is, if you ever get stuck in this position you better know wtf to do. My vid displays a spontaneous way to get out from underneath 300 lbs when its almost about to smash your face in bc your spotter isn't paying attention.

Needless to say, I have not seen the kid since. Lex Talionis.

bring the comments :)
 
btw, while I was editing the vid I saw the guy make a face at the camera. Matter of fact, I saw 2 out of the 3 making faces.

These are the same guys that never look my way and never have anything to say to me. This is indicative of the coward. If you have something to say, say it to my face. Don't hide behind a camera or a friend.

All you warriors on the board. If you ever see someone like me, giving there all, spilling there guts, support them. Please do not mock them out of jealousy. Give em' a pat on the back.

Understand that there is a reason why that man stands alone.
 
nice escape

i think he was expecting you to want him to only give you bearly enough help to compleat the rep.
 
Damn that was a bit scary. I don't regret working out alone when I see things like that.

Solid workout. Some excellent numbers.

Good work.

Are you talking about those guys behind you while benching? The guy in the "Wife Beater" ?

Thanx C. :)

All 3 of them yes. Wouldn't look me in the eye when I'm facing them. But as I turn around and the cam is on all the looks come out. Funny isn't it?

"wife beater" in gym :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
 
Hey man you need to brighten up your clips - you should try that software I pointed out for ya. Even just to try the demo :)
 
Yes the reason I don't ask people I don't know for a spot. Congrats on not crackin your skull.

Cheers,
Scotsman
