He's lucky someone had the forethought to have the safety bars properly adjusted. not everyone does and many benches don't even have them

Shows how little I know about gyms. The only gym I've ever been in was a Goulds looking for one of my drivers who was supposed to be on the road not goofing off in a pretty boy palace, if he felt he wasn't getting enough exercise in his job he could have lumped his own loads instead of hiring it out.
BTW I didn't notice any of the safety bars on the bench he was using but his coach or spotter of whatever those guys are called looked like he had scored a few too many steroids

Great name for them!

That guy needs to work on hand strength a little more. You're only as strong as your weakest part and that was this guys hands!
