How many times have you done the roll of shame , /fit/?
Why do people at the gym freak out when you fail your last bench rep and do it?
I just did it the 2nd time in my life on my last rep of last set of 225. (been out of the gym for 3 weeks)
>>36597854
I've never done the fucking roll of shame because I use a rack and set the safeties. I lower my chest, the safeties catch the bar, and I slide out. It's not difficult.
you shouldn't do the roll of shame since it may hurt your intestines, especially as your bench gets heavier. instead, use the safeties of the power cage, or ditch the safety clips so you could pivot the bar on your chest to drop the weights off.
i usually have a spotter but i failed my last rep alone yesterday and had set up the safeties to slide out.
>>36597871
>>36597886
how much do you two bench?
>>36597940
Did 225 for 5 and then did 255 for 1 the other day fampai. I'm pretty happy about it.
>>36597854
Just don't put the clips on the side and dump it off. As long as you aren't benching 315+ it shouldn't be too much of an issue. You can also just let it sit on your chest and loudly speak for someone to help you out.

>>36597886
>just dump the weights off
Jesus, I think they're are trying to draw LESS attention to the fact that they failed, not be center stage.
>>36597854
Jesus this happened to me yesterday
>think I have one more rep in me
>can't get it up, try to roll it off
>bar tilts while I'm rolling and dumps the plates
>everyone staring
Fucking kill me.
>>36597854
0 because I never lose. That's also why I'm still a virgin
I have safety spotter arms even at my home gym.
What kind of gym are you going to that doesn't have spotter arms on their benches? :O
>>36599128
Well there is either usually enough people around that if you say "Could someone help me out" loudly but firm someone will help you. If there aren't many people around then just dump the damn weight. I think you can only get away with rolling the weight off you if you are more on the chubby side. If you were my weight (160 5'11) and I were to try and roll 235lb across my body I would probably eternally combust.
>>36599208
This wouldn't work for the average /fit/izten who never speaks to anyone at the gym even though they've been going to the gym for years.
They'd all look at you and be shocked that you spoke for once or just not want to save you because you're asocial faggot who has never once acknowledged anyone.
>go one month without training upperbody because back injury
>usual bench 1rm is 315
>decide to go 185 for 3 sets of 8
>second set fail on 8th rep
>roll of shame
>friend of (usually) equal strength walks up
>"what the fuck was that man?"
>>36599242
there's no way you bench 315 for 1 and fail 185 for 8.
I can do 185 for 12 and can't even get 260 for 1
>>36597854
I had an embarrassing moment when I was in college.
I usually used my home gym and bench in the rack with the catchers but for reasons out of my control I didn't have access to my home gym. Went to bench at my university at the time and the first set I missed the last rep and was going to do the roll of shame. A couple of guys nearby ran over and pulled it off of me. I said thanks obviously and that I was going to roll it. All he said was "you almost had it." Lmao just kind of humiliating. I also had 2 more sets after that and had to lower the weight.
If you're having trouble locking it out just yell "HELP!!!!!!!"
>>36597854
I would rather someone not get crushed by the bar than have a "shamefur disrpray"
>>36597886
No clips= BAD IDEA
I had it fall on my face when I was starting out because of that.
>>36599252
you must have missed
>go one month without training upperbody because of back injury
Usually I get 225 for 13. I got fatigued really easy my first day back.
Was doing to-failure sets with 25lb plates late in my session (yeah I know my bench sucks if I have to use 25lb plates, that's why I do it)
Guy jerks the bar from me when I get to failure, startled the shit out of me. Not only have I done the roll of shame a dozen times, but there is a low rack on the bench I was about to put the bar on.
I could understand helping if I was trying to bench 225, but let me at least try bro. Fucker.
>>36599283
>36599283
oh
well you should have said what u normally bench in ur post
how was i to gather that you bench 225 for 13 normally from you saying your back hurt?
>>36599289
Cont:
Lately I've been doing failure reps with barbells, the smaller bars that don't take plates. People leave me the fuck alone when I fail with those.
>>36597854
Twice, when I had started recently, first time was alright there was pretty much only me and an old dude there.
Second time was far worse
>Just hit 2 pl8
>FUK YE MAN I CAN DO ONE MORE
>Be all the way down
>PUUUSSHH
>NOPE
>Get it halfway up
>My little brothers friend sees me
>comes over
>helps me out before I finish teh roll of shame
Fucking end me already
Once and it hurt like a fucking cunt. Felt i got trolled with the /fit/ equivalent of making mustard gas meme
I've done it twice and it was pretty shameful desu. Almost as shameful as that one time some random guy came by and decided to spot me without me asking because I was struggling on my last rep (I didn't even fail it man, calm down)
I don't understand the logic of the safeties though... they're naturally below your chest because a full ROM has to be lowered down to your chest, so the bar never actually reaches them
Never. I'm not a dumbass who tries to do more weight than they can without a spotter.
Why don't you faggets just dumbbell press if you don't have a spotter or a safety rack?
>>36599381
This.
Know your limits, my dudes.
Train smart.
That being said don't pussy out on weights that you're not sure you can lift, so long as you've got a good spotter you're a-ok
>warming up with 5pl8 bench
>decide to deceive the individuals
>lower bar to chest
>scream and groan loudly
>kicking my legs everywhere
>people are running towards me to help
>push the bar up

>>36599381

>>36599450
how are chinks considered human
Hasnt happened yet to me but it happened to some dude yesterday
>dude sets up bench in a free squat rack
>whatevs, it's not very busy here right now
>he's benching bout 80lbs
>obviously new
>there's a room of about 8 racks in my gym, with mirrors on two sides
>I'm doing some skwats
>finish set and look in mirror and see the dude across the room pushing the bar with all his might but to no avail
>he looks afraid
>literally no one goes over to help, even the people who were using the racks right next to him
>i look around for a bit to see if anyone is gonna help
>fucking no ones is helping while this dude is dying
>i run over and lift that shit off his chest
>he gives a sincere thanks and I smile and say no prob
>go back to doing workout
Felt breddy gud, but holy fuck people were just staring and not helping
>>36599451
Not on lifts that could kill or physically harm me.
I often have a spotter so I can push myself fine.
Deadlifting is easy to push on, but I'm not going to push too hard on jerks/cleans.
Squatting is easy to push on because of the safety bars.
Bench entirely depends on the bench rack, but here most of them aren't in a cage and are 100% free form, so it's not easy to push by yourself on.
I would rather go up slowly than push myself and end up doing more harm than good.
>>36599367
You're supposed to arch your back when you bench. Set the safetys an inch or so below your puffed up chest. So if you fail you can still drop it on the safetys and crawl out
>>36599450
I don't like seeing pictures of kids crying over stuff like this. For some reason, this image makes me feel really, really sad, almost to the point of depression.
>>36599467
What sort of routine would you recommend for core my routine is pretty much P90X Ab Ripper X every other day with planks thrown in.
>>36599529
That's mean....
>>36599551
If seeing children cry triggers you I would not recommend having kids.
>>36599589
Omg why would you say that? Asshole.. I love kids
Maybe 3 times
Never more than 135 so I can get away with it
OP here
I still don't understand what the big deal is
I can successfully dump 2 plates onto my waist/hips, stand up with it, and then dump it onto the bench without much effort
How is this not better than laying on the bench with the bar on my chest, asking for someone to help?
>>36599260
Don't you know how to greentext?
>>36599910
/greentext Yeah? Why?
>>36599170
why not ask for a spotter?
>>36599949
Last time i asked for a spot the guy had a boner and it kept hitting my forehead
I'd rather die under the barbell
>>36599910
>memeform pls
Cringe.
>>36599961
LOL you at a gay bar not a gym
>>36599170
use clips fag.
>>36597854
>home gym
>probably done this 6-7 times in the last 4 months
>>36597854
Never because I'm not a weak ass bitch
Literally first time ever last night. My gym bro is being a dick and never comes anymore
>on incline
>think I have one left
>do it
>fuckit one more for the gain gods
>nope
Full gym and no one helped
Cause I was on incline it was fine to roll into my thighs then push it off
>TFW blushing for the rest of the night
Why did no one help? Should I change gyms?
>roll of shame with an empty bar
>gym was full
fucking kill me familia
>>36597854
Never because I bench in a power rack with safetys just below where the bar touches my chest and if I fail a rep I just get rid of my arch and wriggle out under the bar which rests on the safetys. Like you're supposed to. Why do people bench without the safetys ya bunch of silly wombats
>>36601858
yeah change gyms now, you know inside everyone is really laughing at you as the guy who fucked up his bench
>>36599589
Don't you mean the opposite?
If he can empathize with a kid he would be a good parent. He would know when to help. If you're full of apathy like youre implying then youll be shit parent.
>>36601941
Omg. My sides
>>36599280
>I had it fall on my face when I was starting out because of that.
how the fuck does that even work?
Lifting to failure. Not even once.
>>36599103
>loudly speak
Called shouting, mate
>>36597854
once when I was a noob many moons ago a tried for one more rep that I couldn't do without a spotter on the incline benchpress, I've since learned from mistake and never repeated this.
>>36599513
>this image makes me feel really, really sad
Save it, it's all yours friend!
>>36599208
>eternally combust
>>36597854
Did he die?
I don't fail, so I don't need safety bars or rolls of shame
>>36604222
Shut up, Juanita.
>>36597854
>roll of shame
Fucking seriously? This is a thing?
Fucking christ grab your fucking balls and fucking man the fuck up your insanely insecure pussies. Who GIVES A FUCK. Holy shit.
You're working on your body, your body has limits, the only way to exceed them is to keep pushing them. Lifting heavy weights you've never lifted before naturally COMES with dropping a set or two. It means that you're fucking progressing and have the balls to test yourself. Who gives a flying fuck about what other people think or how they respond to a bit of noise of weights being dumped?
Jesus christ IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. Just focus on your workouts and if you get into a sticky situation, who whatever is necessary to resolve it for your safety (by either dropping or asking for help).
Holy fuck this thread is making me cringe so hard I might just snap my fucking neck.
>>36604298
Confirmed for never lifting any heavy weight.
>>36599308
Are you retarded?
>>36599507
>>36600690
you have to go back
>>36604298
>325lb oly bar crushing my sternum
>who gives a fuck
I give a fuck you DYEL
When I first started lifting in high school, my bro taught me day one "If you don't have me or someone else to spot you, don't collar the weight. Just dump the weight to one side so you don't get hurt."
>175
>no roll so far
Thank god I don't use clips so I can just dump them but I'm fucking horrified of that thing falling on me. I'll never do bench without a spotter.
>>36597854
>squating going for a triple
>get stuck on the bottom
>try to step forward to stand up
>my knee just collapses hits the ground
>im in a lunging position with 90% of my 1RM
>gym doesnt even have a squat rack so using incline bench
No one gave one shit. I usually like to drop it but i have this fear that one day a child will be near me and i'll murder him doing that.
Anyway

>>36605423
>>36605939
This is not what I was talking about you stupid fucking faggots. Literally 0 reading comprehension.
You don't limit your progress because you're "ashamed" of dropping weights, of what other people think or do. This has nothing to do with lifting too much like a fucking idiot, that's a whole other ball game.
>>36599289
I had this just because I had a kind of slow rep, I wasn't even at failure. I had to lock out and try to get the guy to let go of the bloody bar for about ten seconds
I got two more reps out but failed the last which made it all the worse, probably because I was under the bar for twice as long

Fuck me. Always the same faggots who I've never seen squatting or deadlifting a single time, yet I see doing upper body every damn day.
