Well that was kinda scary! Happy you got it behind you. Great effort!
That was a hairy moment alright. Would the safeties not protect you better if you raised them a hole or two? (seems to be plenty of space judged by your lowest bar point.)
For Safety, More Triceps!

That was pretty close to your face, would be a shame to cut short a budding instagram career.

I dunno, it was only like an RPS 2 or 3, not sure what the big deal is.
(Shit that was scary. You really leave it all out there.)

The safety heights on the rack are not great for me. If I go the next one up sometime the bar will hit it which puts me off. At this height I could have just put the bar on my chest and then crawled out ok. On this Set I was a little further down the bench so as I tried to press it into the J hook the weight was over my eyes, hence why I put it behind me. Looks worse than it was.

Mate if it hit me in the head I would probably get a lot more IG likes. Lol

Because yours is the only instagram account I see, I’m still amazed everytime at the level of “DM me for shout outs” or whatever you get on every post.

You and me both mate. I literally only post because that’s where the coach sees what I am doing, and for you guys on here to laugh at me. I really don’t understand why random strangers would watch or find my lifts interesting!!

Ah shucks mate that’s nice, but really we are doing this for fun or health (physical or mental) most of us don’t really rate as strong.
