How much do y'all pay attention to other people lifting around you? I saw a guy almost decapitate himself on Incline BP today. He was struggling with the first set so I was kind of keeping an eye on him, plus I wanted the bench. Anyway he got to a rep and just totally lost it. A guy near him turned around as he was struggling (badly) and didn't even move to help. I had to go over because he was about to hit Snap City.

went on a weekend get away and ate a little too good:wow: It's crazy that a couple of days off a diet can make you feel like shyt and add a few pounds:sadcam:

my eyes roam when I'm close to being done with my set to see what's open. if I see someone lifting heavy tho then i'll keep an eye on them to see how they do just in case they need a spotter or a little help. ppl at my gym are really good about that so it's not a problem.

Did lots of light good-mornings yesterday and my back is feeling much better. Hamstrings feel like they got lava flowing through them but it's good pain (doms)

i sort of do, but I would rather mind my own business. Unless they are showing bad form on squats and deads or struggling with benching. at that point I'm gonna help you before you injure yourself badly like you saw this morning.

Just today I saw a guy throwing the bar at the top of the rep as he was benching

The bar was coming down at a 45 degree angle, he had no control over that shyt

I legit was thinkin this guy about to fukking crush his neck and fukking die :merchant:
A personal trainer had to tell him to :whoa: but he was like I always do this I got it :heh:

Not from where I was standing breh :damn: Its just waiting to happen

I don't listen to music so I'm pretty aware of whats going on.

Maybe the other person didn't see him struggling but it felt wrong he didn't try to help the guy.

I mean if that guy was struggling to get the bar up as much as you said, it should be automatic that he should of helped him.

Tough to really judge without being their tbh :patrice:
