spotters that ruin your workout

so, i was in the gym the other day (take a photo!! woowoo!! ;) ) where i usually work out alone, and i decided to work in with some buddies of mine (who were obviously dropouts from both spotter school and clown college) and i was again reminded just why i stopped working out with other people, and switched to exercises that wont kill you if you need a spot...

anyway, i was watching one of my buddies being spotted by the other on the bench press (bench press/shrug station ;) ) and i swear, all i could think about was how close the spotters putrid, disgusting, sure-to-be-gangrenous salty ballbag was to my other buddies forehead :worried: ...im not bullshitting either, i was in a sick trance, and did a full on JerseyArt and imagined all those sweating men naked, with their moldy balls hanging next to each others faces :worried: and looking at how sweaty both of them were, i thought of sweat droplets and wanted to hurl my guts up

so anyway, i said to the guys that i might just move on over to the dumbbells as usual, and just maybe get a spot there...since its an incline bench, there was no chance of two little rambutans plopping onto my forehead while i was repping away. aaaaaaaaaaanyway, i grabbed the 99lb dumbbells as usual, and started my set, shaking my head at my buddy when he motioned whether or not i needed a spot - so anyhow, he figured he'd count out my reps (why the hell do people do this? who the hell loses count anyway?) and, instead of realising that 99lbs is a reasonable working weight for an incline bench, and realising that i was doing about 8, starts counting like a moron and, when he gets to 6 (when i start having difficulty) mimics The Count from Sesame Street and says "six...mwuha ha ha ha" :mad: and of course i crack up and drop the weight :mad:

AND the mofo got between me and my reflection at least twice :mad:

moral of the story: dont use spotters with jam covered balls. mofos will kill your workout
 
You are supposed to keep your nutz away from the guy benching...jeez...

The worst thing for me is when my buddy has "The Breath of 1000 Egyptians," and blows it in my face when I am spotting him. Gaaa....

your friend sounds hilarious!

although i admit it woulkd piss me off if it was mid set
even when im with friends during my set i listen to music to tune out anything from farts to shitty jokes
 
i cant stand stranger spotters. on the few instances where I have asked for a spot, I have them sign a document which outlines what the rules for spotting me are. Rule #1 = stay the fuck away from me or the bar unless i'm being pinned.
 
lol!!

I don't lift nearly as much when I don't have a spotter, they are a neccsary evil.
 
GD -- Frankly I'm shocked that your friend would think you'd need a spot with only 99lb DBs.... WTF??
 
I had a guy spotting me on 225 and trying to help.. LOL I do 225 for close to 30 reps on bench press

no, he just looks hilarious...the jealous, workout sabotaging mofo
 
I hate asking anyone for a spot, 75% of the people there don't know what the hell they are doing

i know!!! if there was a 3rd 99lb dumbbell id juggle the damn things so that people would realise that big things come in small packages that have big packages ;)
 
I put my nuts in my friends face when spotting them on bench, but not on strangers. I mean I just can't turn down the oppurtunity to "teabag" someone.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....hahahahahahahahahaha....hahahaahaha
