The gym I use is a council place, and it gets (which is great, don't get me wrong) a lot of older people, and quite a few less able-bodied members.
Which means it can be quite busy - but with zero people I'm going to ask to help me out with a 60kg barbell that I can't control anymore.
I think I'll stick to small jumps unless there's someone in there who I feel comfortable asking to give me a hand.
I'm open to roll-of-shame, but given it's the incline bench I'd need to roll it down to my lap, then tip it so one end hits the floor, then lever myself up whilst holding the bar off to my side.
