    Spotting?

    Problem is I feel I can push it further like when I do heavy set with 12 reps and then I struggle to get to 10 without a spotter I'll stop. If I try I could probably get to 12 but it's hard when you know no one is around to take over if it fails. I use the bench press without any safeties as an...

    What equipment or supplements have you wasted money on including gimmick stuff?

    I beg to differ on the fitness first membership....it depends on the gym. My fitness first gym has a power rack and all the free weights I need. I wouldn't generalise the whole franchise just on some bad gyms and there are some out there. This is the same for all other franchises. Back on topic...
