Don't be a Bench Press Dummy... Always use collars on the barbell.
It takes 3 seconds to put on the collars and that is 3 seconds well spent.

About Me
- Lee Hayward
- I got started working out when I was 12 years old. In 1990 my dad gave me a home gym for Christmas, it was a York 2001 machine and a York barbell and dumbbell set. From that point on I was hooked on working out. During high school I worked out consistently and I would read every bodybuilding and fitness magazine that I could get my hands on. I’d get bodybuilding and exercise books from the library. I would record every bodybuilding contest that was on television and watch them over and over again. I was obsessed with learning as much about bodybuilding, exercise and nutrition as I could. While in my last year of high school I entered my first Bodybuilding contest, The 1995 Newfoundland Provincials, I was 17 years old at the time. Since then I have competed almost every year in bodybuilding competitions.

Hello Lee.
ReplyDeleteYour video did not play. Should have stuck with YouTube.
Kind of wondering what the spotter was waiting for
ReplyDeletehahahahaha lmao what a loser first of all that was to much weight for you bud and second of all what is the point of a spotter if hes not going to spot you anyways that made my day to watch you look like an idiot
ReplyDeletewhat a goof
ReplyDeletehaha thats hilarious. A good spotter wouldn't have hurt either
ReplyDeleteidiot, the way he shaked the bar...
ReplyDeleteThat was just ridiculous. I am amazed that more people don't get hurt from stunts like that. Personally, I do not use collars because the bar should never be in a position where the weights can slide off. I always lift in a rack so if I can't make the lift, I just drop it on the spotter bars. That other guy wasn't much of a spotter either.
ReplyDeleteCollars are a good idea yes, but they are NOT good when benching alone. That's my rule of thumb. If you bench alone and can't get that last rep, or push that 1 heavy rep, then an easy escape is to tip the bar and have the weight fall off, rather then fracture your sternum or WORSE.
ReplyDeleteIn the first place why would he go that heavy when it is so obvious this idiot can not lift it!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL what an idiot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a D***, he couldn't even lift either.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dummy!
ReplyDeleteTextbook technique too!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat guy obviously didn't warm up or anything. These kind of idiots make me sick.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA thanks lee that made my day!
ReplyDeleteOMG what a twat.. i would be so embarrassed to go back after i done that.. looked like too muchweight for him anyways
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell was that?? that weight way too heavy for that little guy and it showed. Then his buddy just stood there and watched him humiliate himself
ReplyDeleteif he would have had collars on that he wouldn't be able to bail the weight off, he'd be stuck...
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, he should of made sure he could lift that or something. Second, the spotter should of helped him instead of just held his hands to the sides and stare. and third, that was some of the worst technique I have ever seen!!!
ReplyDeletePeople shouldn't be so stupid as to do anything like this.
loser lol
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, hilarious goof! I've witnessed this more often than once. The best moments are the few seconds after.. how they stand up from the bench, acting like everything is fine and like they meant to do it. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteThis is a text book definition of BAD spotting. Bum off the bench, too heavy, bad spotter, always going to end in tears wasn't it!
ReplyDeleteHey lee,
ReplyDeleteThe video didnt play for me either :(
what the...i'm not an expert..but..he could easily injure a muscle..or maybe something worse...imagine what would happend if he was alone in the gym?
ReplyDeleteROFL...His buddy told him it is all in the mind! Agree with not using collars when you don't have a spotter...at leat he got that right!
ReplyDeletenot to mention he has terrible form
ReplyDeleteslap the face of the spotter and slap your face too, if you can't, ask the spotter to do it for you!!! and don't go back to the gym anymore, GO TO THE CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND!!!!
ReplyDeletesure bet that was funny but I really dont know I couldn't get it to play.
ReplyDeleteSHit what a fucking idiot, who told him that with those sticks he could lift that weight? malditos estupidos los dos.
ReplyDeleteWorking out is better that not working out. Maybe the problem is that he is retarded?!
ReplyDeleteWTF??? What were these two retards thinking? I must admit though, pretty hillarious....
ReplyDeleteEgo, ego, ego! Oh dear - I guess he's now discovered that his 1 rep max is something LOWER than that crazy weight he tried!!He needs to learn that it's not what you lift, but how you lift it that really counts...
ReplyDeleteSome peoples kids... LOL
ReplyDeleteShowing off and trying to lift such a heavy weight isn't the way to do it and for sure having a spotter day dreaming about what he's going to eat tonight isn't a good idea either... Made me chuckle anyways. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWay too heavy for this guy. Glad he wasn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteMr Lee, qucik question, difference between benching on a smith machine and doing normal bench?? will one work better??
ReplyDeleteHey Lee,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretti positive that you wouldn't be posting this clip if it weren't for a good reason. Thanks for the tip!
LMAO, y would u want to get this on tape? Jackass! First of all find a spotter that is not holding a grudge against you, you are most likely to come out of the gym that way... second if your trying to amaze the world of youtube by benching 225lbs make sure you can do it before you try call a press conference!
ReplyDeleteLee, The Video did not play
ReplyDeleteLets see... Dressed in street clothes... no warm ups... Were they off that little short bus I see driving around? (the one I occasionally ride. LOL)
ReplyDeletei just put up 3 plates today i started with two set twenty pushups then twelve at one plate and twelve with two plates then 3 reps at my old max that was 285 so i went for 3 plates 315 hellyeayah baby!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the spotter secretly hates him? Otherwise, why allow him to humiliate himself like that? Further more, why tape this? Note to self. Make sure you can lift the weight before you tape your feats of strength! LOL
ReplyDeletewhy have n idiot spot you when your a total idiot yourself lamo!
ReplyDeleteLol that would be funny to watch, but that would be so embarrassing to have that happen to you lol.
ReplyDeleteThe spotter wasnt really doing his job
the guys stronger than all of tools making stupid comments he has one bad video out of 10 theres videos of him benching 405.
ReplyDeletehere is the correct video of the man benching twice his boyweight.everyone has accidents.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/user/doctorfreeze#p/u/31/yoS76OkIXyM
video did not play
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to see itcause the video never played. It was just a black screen.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting Lee, but it wouldn't load up let alone play! John
ReplyDeleteThis one does not play for me either Lee. Just says loading forever
ReplyDeleteIf you are going too heavy solo on a press and can't handle the weight, what makes you think you can control the bar to 'just tip it to one side and let the plates fall off.' Did you ever think that the bar will spring quickly in the opposite direction and will probably hit the person coming to help you? Then again, people who think that way don't wear seat belts either.
ReplyDeletethe video didn't play my friend
ReplyDelete
