Noob here, is this okay to do?

that or roll of shame, you haven't truely benched without a near death experience

>>76721744 (OP)
Yeah what's someone gonna do?

>>76721744 (OP)
that asian man be fucking white girl pussy on that bench fr

>>76721748
Isn't it dangerous? can you get injured?

>>76721756
You can be injured just lifting in general.

>>76721744 (OP)
You shouldn’t ego lift with no spot on the bench with the mindset of “it’s ok I’ll just dump the weights” but if for some reason you find yourself with a bar on you that you can’t get up then yeah go ahead and dump them.

>Is this okay, or should I just die?
>Should I solve my own problem like man, or wait to get rescued like a little girl?

>>76721756
nah man flinging weights all over the place because you ego lifted too much for the camera is perfectly safe for anyone walking by

>>76721786
god that webm of that dude (girl?) taking out a guy because she unracks a bar unevenly and it just whacks him

>>76721786
I wouldn't know I don't workout at poor people gyms.

This is why if I'm lifting close to my limit I make sure I'm lifting with safeties. If both of those benches are taken I'll just do more volume with lighter weight or wait for a bench with safeties to open up.

>>76721744 (OP)
Just stand up. Easy.
>fail bench
>use falling moment to drive bar towards your stomach
>use forward bar moment to leverage your body from the bench to upright position
>continue using forward momentum to stand up in a standing hip thrust movement
>once standing either drop the bar or set it down
Easy.

Do dips instead

Roll of shame is OP's video.

based

>>76721855
no he is dumping the weight

>>76721744 (OP)
Non standalone benches are lower and often the pl8s get caught and dont slide off. Especially if its caught on your neck.

Always remember to throw it down towards your waist if failing to roll off, as it might slip or your shoulder/pec might tear and trying to push it up will do nothing.

>>76721771
Theres huge benefit to going beyond failure in training, now id rather finish the rep sure and it being a grinder is kind of the goal if you want to maximize gains, whereas failing you only get isometric.

>>76721755

Micro penis delusion

>>76721744 (OP)
No. Just ask for a spot, or better yet, only lift weight you can handle by yourself. Even when I fail on bench, I always rerack it on the lower hooks because I don't take gigantic jumps in weight.

>still benching without safeties in 2025

Yes, but you have to check that there aren't any whiteknight faggots. As the video demonstrate, they will rush to try to unintentionally murder you.

>>76721855
>he doesn't know what the roll of shame is
You have never benched saar

That Big Asian Dick hits fr

>>76721744 (OP)
Nope. Lift it or die. Please don't disturb the other gym members.

>>76721744 (OP)
Yea this is fine but you might need to apologize to the owners

>>76721747
Do none of you retards bench with safeties? What's the point in doing all that bullshit when you can bench heavier, safer, and with more confidence by using the equipment your gym already has

>>76721796
This happened at my gym too - some somalian looking guy was quarter squatting 3pl8s and he proceeded to unload the bar all from one side all at once, it was almost like looney tunes seeing the light side without plates shoot up and launch the barbell a few feet.

>>76722179
safeties don't always come down to the right spot, it's not the same as using them for squats. also you can still get stuck under them lol

I do this shit all the time. idgaf. Being loud and throwing weights around. Smacking plates together. Throwing cable accessories around is a form of dominance. It might make other people uncomfortable, but the gym is not a safe space. You are supposed to feel uncomfortable. DOn't like it. Planet Fitness is on your right and across the hall.

>>76721744 (OP)
Yeah. I don't know why anyone would have safety clips on a barbell ngl. Just load that shit up and bail if you have to. >>76722303
Based

>>76721744 (OP)
I switched to dumbbell press so I don't have to worry about this.

>>76722289
Are you slow? You can adjust them to the right height in a power rack which allows you to hit full ROM while catching the bar in case it falls. It's also physically impossible for you to get "stuck" under them. At this point I can only assume you have no idea what safeties are or you are a complete moron. Perhaps your fate is to die under the barbell like the other idiots you see in the /gif/ rekt threads.

>>76721744 (OP)
Kek why are azns such dyels?

>>76722179
not worth the risk of hitting the safety bar with the barbell while doing my set

>>76721786
I know most people are retards with no spatial awareness, but you shouldn't be anywhere within the trajectory of weights if they were to fall off

>>76721855
>>76721831
This is not safe with heavy weight. If you fuck up you can drop the weight on your balls, which is definitely not something I'm willing to risk, or you can ack your back trying to hold and set the bar down

Just lift with a spotter or use safeties

>>76722553
Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by hitting the bar? You do know that you can simply drop the safeties to slightly below your full ROM and it'll still save your ass if you fail...right? What kind of argument are you even trying to make.

>>76721756
You can tear a pec doing this on heavy weights, but it beats being dead.
But you can also just... use safeties. If your gym has the ones that aren't deathtraps where the bar can get pinned under the safety that is, anyway.

not everyone goes to equinox and has safeties for their benches you pompous bourgeois

>>76721744 (OP)
Dont bench mate. There are far more effective exercises to train your chest

What is with that picture on the wall? I have never seen someone do a dumbbell upright row. It's one of the stupidest exercises imaginable

>>76722613
Don't fuck up then kinda like doing a diddly.

You should be able to roll out any weight you cant bench since that's way easier to squat/dead

>>76722880
>Don't fuck up then kinda
Sometimes you just fuck up, though. Are your really going to gamble your health like that for no benefit?

>>76721744 (OP)
No. It's rude to roll them off on the floor like that. Throw them out of the window or through the ceiling or something so people don't trip on them on the floor.

>>76722718
>not everyone goes to equinox and has safeties for their benches you pompous bourgeois
take some fuckin sawhorses
>too tall
you got sawhorses and don't got no saw?

>safetys
lmao couldn't be me, i just push for the 8th rep anyways despite knowing full well its not going to happen today and then injure myself for a few weeks with the whiplash
like a man

>>76721938
>Even when I fail on bench, I always rerack it on the lower hooks because I don't take gigantic jumps in weight.
That's the most dangerous option. If you can't reach the hook the bar is still right above your head. With a weight you can barely keep up. Good chance you'll drop it onto your face or neck.
Never move the bar above your face if your arms aren't locked out.

>>76723139
I failed the 5th rep of 2pl8 yesterday right below lower hooks and you are right, i think those were made for manlets who can't rack upper hooks

>>76722519
the safety heigh cannot be adjusted continously. You might be in a position where one setting is too low, but the next higher one already too high.

>>76721855
>roll of shame
>no rolling in sight

>>76723180
Technically, he does roll

>>76722849
dips
push ups
dumbbell chest press

Bench press is for retards.

>>76721744 (OP)
That’s why you bench to failure just on the Smith Maschine.
Alone, in an empty gym.

Just to avoid beeing shamed.

>>76723146
Use risers under the bench.

>>76721744 (OP)
Just use dumbbells my dude no need to do that plus you will improve your form with them

>>76723146
>You might be in a position where one setting is too low, but the next higher one already too high.
Literally cannot happens. Your neck is always much lower than your chest even if you don't arch it. Even if the safeties are somehow too low to be used by lowering your chest, you can roll the bar slightly up to your neck
Picrel, notice the difference in height between neck and chest

>>76723273
My 1rm barbell is 225 and I don't try over 35 dumbbells because of how awkward they are to get in position. It's not the same thing.

>>76722708
You won't tear shit unless you are a roidtranny
>>76721748
You can simply raise your legs up and swing on your feet instead of being a nuisance flinging plates all over

>>76721744 (OP)
Look at this guy, dumping his weights everywhere for all to see, very very disrespectful.
>iykyk

>>76722708
Im having trouble visualizing what youre talking about. Pic.?

I bench with a 5' bar so I can't set up my safeties without the risk of smashing my elbows into them. I just don't put the clips on but I've only dumped the plates like that maybe 3 times. It's still risky and inconvenient, so I do the roll of shame instead. If you practice it well and it's basically one fluid motion it doesn't feel sketchy at all.

>>76723371
They should make safety plates that are like 4 feet in diamter.

>>76721744 (OP)
I recognize this guy so this is probably an instructional video rather than him actually failing. He's a lot stronger than that. Also yes, if you can't get it up and the alternative is dying, do this.

I was watching love is blind with my gf and the one asian guy is extremely insecure about being asian while simultaneously being the most boring non-entity I've ever seen

>>76721744 (OP)
Isn't it cheating to lift like this or is it still a full rep?

>>76721771
Anybody who uses the term egolift is a weak faggot dyel.

>>76723352
>weight too heavy for you to manage
>suddenly jerk it from one side as you dump a bunch off
If you're a retard and you're doing this on weights you can easily manage, then yeah, you wont tear a pec
>>76723370
If you mean the safeties thing, some frames have the safety bars made in a way where it's possible for something to slip between the frame and the bar.
This isn't the exact one I'm talking about, but it's a pretty egregius example. You can see how the bar can go behind the safeties if you happen to fail at re-racking the bar, and then it can realistically get pinned there by the safeties themselves as you try to not die.

>>76723853
Probably because he did roids

>>76723370
>>76724501
Another example

>>76724764
Everyone did roids, they pushed it further and further each year until it was impossible to deny their existence and now they're out in the open.

>>76721744 (OP)
Only as a last resort, good way to fuck up a shoulder

>>76722179
I still bench with full confidence without safeties knowing I can just do the roll

>>76722641
What you don't understand is if the safeties are under your ROM than that means they're lower than your chest, the bar should touch your fucking chest. If they're lower than your chest then how the fuck are they going to catch the bar? If you're a fatty you can suck in your gut or let the weight push down your squishy fat, but for normal muscled individuals we don't have that give.

>>76724834
roll only works for muscle failure, when you can't push but body is still functional
any injury like pec tear and your fucked

>>76723311
>I don't try over 35 dumbbells
50s are still pretty easy to maneuver, its once you get to 70+ that its a bit of an awkward bitch.

>>76725305
Bench press is bad and dagerous. There are better alternatives for chest.

>failing on 1.5 pl8
but yeah it's fine

>>76722179
My local (chain)gym's shitty benches aren't even welded equally and you think there's safeties? (It's Technogym equipment, go figure)

Most people seethe about the risk of a safety taking 2cm away from their depth.
