What better

[notpuff]

If you cant find a spotter is it better to bench press weight you can handle or use smith machine and more weight

 

[Andre9]

don't bench without a good spotter. If you train alone in your garage, I don't know but you can have problems even with the Smith machine. When I bench heavy, I always ask the help of someone eventhough I know I can lift the weight. Let's say you are injured, you may never bench again... for a long time for sure.

I usually use dumbbells when my partner isnt along, usually about 30% of the time
