Man....Boss, I'm disappointed.
Yeah I don't get this thread at all when it comes to using a belt or straps. Like I'm stronger than all of you strap bashers and I use straps every single back workout, come **** with me

*Sigh*
I'm mad hungry and there are roughly 17 hours until this fast is over. I had a cheat meal today so I decided to do a 24 hour fast (water + a few sticks of gum) to get it out of my system. I've been doing 16/8 intermittent fasting since the summer so I don't know why I stress a 24 hour fast so much.

Damn RIP.
Back in HS on the football team I was weak as hell and my coach was hyping me up to do 185 (emphasis on being weak as hell)
I knew I couldn't do it but my boys were hyping me up and ****..I go down to do a rep and the bar missed my neck by inches man. I look back on it sometimes like damn, I could've really ****** myself or died man.

Jesus.... R.I.P.
Make sure your thumbs are ALWAYS wrapped around the bar guys... Im not saying this guy didnt do that but yea...
I honestly feel like chalk is always needed on any lift tbh.
I see way too many people in my gym back squatting low weight without gripping the bar or by resting their arms on the bar... clearly they do that to show off.
Gotta respect the weights man. Sometimes we forget how heavy they actually are. Like 225 may be light for squats, but the weight itself is heavy.

But its a gym lift so it really doesn't matter any way.

I don't think I can ever bench heavy, even with spotters. Dude died with spotters. Damn man.

I had a buddy in high school who was benching and I guess he came down and couldn't go up and have out, the bar landed on his somehow and he had braces......the story writes itself

I always need a spot just for my sanity and to feel safe. For instance on my chest day I'll hit 225 for 10 on my first working set; no spotter that **** will feel heavy AF and I'll get like 5. TBH when my workout partner isn't with me I'll use the smith machine with no shame.

I workout alone most of the time and when I bench heavy i always ask someone for a spot. RIP to that dude

^same. Once i get heavy i just ask someone who looks capable of helping to give me a spot (no dudes with 1 hand). Definitely eases my mind in that i know worst case someones there to help me out.

I think a lot of those guys in those YT comps (from the ones ive seen) are doing more than they can handle.

Any suggestions for brands of gloves with wrist support? Been dealing with a sprained wrist that's disrupting my gains.

Gains and gloves don't go together
Jokes aside I would try wrist wraps first. Just some basic ones from your local sports store and see if they help

I feel like I lost all my strength since I really only hit the gym 3 days a week now. I didn't really but I only do the big 3 now for the most part. first time in like 2 years I don't go on the regular. Feels bad.
for wrist support use wrist wraps.

most likely was using suicide grip, only way it could happen imo.

damn its wild, because i remember we had that grip argument in here for bench in the summer, and I use to do suicide grip. and yall were talking about how dangerous it was. Yesterday i was benching and realized i switched to a full grip again and damn proud of it. anything over 225 now even if it's 230 i grab a spot..
