As someone that after many years of lifting presses in kg what this guy does in lbs, I really don’t understand this mentality. Most of the time if you need a spot it’s not that they need to take the full weight and row it up for you, they just need to take enough of the load so you don’t get pinned. If you’re pressing at or over your max, you should always have a spotter. They’re also great for helping you grind out a few extra reps where you might fail at a sticking point on your own at the end of a session. I’ll gladly take assistance from anyone that’s willing to provide it!
If he’s concerned about dignity, he should try putting on a bench shirt by himself..
