Oh. My. God. I'm remembering your comment for if I'm ever in this situation. "Say men are stronger than women and I'll help you. Say it!"

My ancestors were tattooed. I am tattooed. They are meant to tell a story of personal trials or battles, depict love for family, makes identification of burnt or decapitated corpses easier lol. For a site that promotes free speech and dropping the stigma infront of openly saying nigger and kike it's pretty funny you'd all throw all tattooed folk into the same category, though 80% or more are as you say with no doubt.

My ancestors were spear chuckers, too. Guess what happened.

Yes. When they had personal meaning or cultural significance. Not some degenerate jew-propagandized scribbling.

Yes, and we grew as a civilization and gave up that primitive CRAP. Tattoos are a sign of returning to the primitive, in a bad way.

Exactly. I bench alone at home all the time, inside my rack with the pins set just below my lifted chest muscles. If I miss the rep, I can relax my arch and deflate my chest, then the bar is on the pins.

I'm guessing a man tried to explain this and this dumb whore had too much hubris to listen.

Dumbell presses are actually really solid- they work some of the smaller, less-used stabilizing muscles in your shoulders. And of course, the risk of breaking your neck or suffocating yourself is far lower. If you lose control of the dumbell mid-press, and you just drop it to the side, you might pull or tear something if it's dropped awkwardly but I've never seen that happen.

I've seen plenty of shit like in the video, though. People trying to show off, "Look at me, me so stronk, me do this alone!" Fucking stupid. You're not impressing anyone, and the people you're trying to impress would probably suggest using a fucking spotter because they know what they're doing. If the gym is really empty, like in this video, an employee should be available to spot for you. Looks like the employee rescued this woman.

Those clamps are for people who are unsure of their ability to do the exercise properly. If you hold the bar parallel to the ground and KEEP it that way during your reps, the weights will not move (unless the bar as been dented/bent somehow). And like you said, in an emergency, all you have to do is tilt the bar left, then right, and you're left with only the bar on you, easily shoved aside or back onto the rack.

This goes back to my statement on spotters- if you're not 100% confident in your ability to do an exercise properly, get a spotter, even if it's not a particularly dangerous exercise. Most folks in the gym are friendly, and if you approach them and politely ask for help, they'll help you real quick.

It's 40 per side at the most. 25, 10 and a 5. 125 at most, and the way she failed it tells me she had no business even attempting that weight.

ninjatacos has it right. I miscalculated. It's 125lbs.
