Alf Veedersane wrote: » I can't remember being in a gym where there weren't safeties. Might be some that had gone walkabout but haven't seen one where the gym didn't have safeties available. People don't always use them though. I often see people set up the bar outside the rack and squat with no safeties. No idea why. And sometimes, where you have racks like in FLYEfit where the spacings are 4" apart, the safeties may be a bit too low to be particularly helpful for some people. For the likes of me that can do the roll of shame, I can at least roll the bar off me and onto the pins but

Would really love for them to be there for the benches especially as it would allow going heavy without a spotter.

Client hits target reps and goes for the rack, but spotter refuses to let him until he grinds out as many more as he can, including a few assisted reps. Not quite as bad as someone robbing you of a PR by rowing the bar up, but I've experienced both and will never ask for a spot off a stranger anymore!

Saw one there recently on someone's story on IG where a girl was doing paused squats in a gym in Spain or somewhere and this lad wanders over to offer a side spot....thinks she's struggling when she pauses and starts to lift up the end of the bar....as the sole spotter. Possibly the most bananas thing I've seen along those lines.
