just went for my last training sech before xmas.
unfortunatly i had to train on my own (as all my usual partners are hungover)
so, flat bench benchpress 110kg.
asked some random bloke from the gym (he looked quite big) for a spot.
managed to get 5 clean un-assisted reps out - then started to struggle, and this bloke starts shouting at me.
"squeeze it"
"feel the burn"
so i push out 2 more
he then pushes down on the bar (pushing agaist me
shouting "c'maaaan 2more"
then my left arm gives up and i end up with a stack full of weights bearing down on my chest!,.
i cant move my arm properly, and ive gotta wait till the 27th to see a physio,
this bloke got ripped into by the gym owner tho, i think he's been banned.
RESULT!.
what a w@nker

Never heard of someone pushing down on the bar when spotting. LMAO What a tosser, what was he thinking? Hope you're not too badly injured. BTW, 110KG for 8 reps is decent. How much do you weigh/height etc?
I had my last workout before christmas today. It's not open till Saturday now.

If i saw someone giving a spot like that resulting in an injury i would lose the plot and initiate combat with him.
