Almost Darwin Award stuff at the gym this morning - guy opposite me starts setting up for bench press on one of the big power racks, but instead of working IN the rack where the bar & safetys are already set up, he drags the bench to the outside of the rack & uses the external rack mounts... no warm up, just loads it up and manages about 4 reps before hitting the shakes & nearly dropping the fucking thing - impressively he somehow managed to get it back up without intervention, although the shuddering had made his gigantic headphones fall off & turned his face bright purple, why do people do this - it stresses me out!
Me on the other hand, I stopped before I almost passed out this time - 2 short of my target, but I couldn't let it slide so took a breather then finished the set off, doesn't quite count but still...
