I'm pretty cautious on the bench because I workout alone, haven't had to bail in a while.

That's where you went wrong. I've had moments like that but just think about the fact you don't have a spotter and if that shit comes down on you you're dead, then roar a primal earth shattering growl and heave that shiiiiit right up to the hook.

yeah maybe in fairyland but sometimes you really cant finish that rep and no amount of willpower is going to rack it for you

WAY better than the roll of shame is just tilting the barbell so the plates fall off 1 side and then the whole barbell falls to the other side, like the guy in this vid:

if youre actually expecting it and your bench form is good you can do it without falling off the bench lol. Only downside is you cant do it in those gyms that have rusty ass barbells where the plates get stuck.

Yeah I don't have a lifting partner and I'm always terrified of not being able to finish a rep while benching and squatting.
Sometimes I worry about never going that extra rep, feelsbadman

its not necessary to get that last rep. youre muscles are worked hard enough if you can get close to failure that last one just fatigues your cns (killz GAIINZ LOLOL)

Hah, had to do this once. Was with 80kg and rubber plates and there was still a gigantic fucking noise. Can't imagine the noise with metal. Didn't fall off the bench though :D

Been using dumbells since!

So just wondering, what does /fit/ think about collars? Is it better to use them or no?

that's more than one plate. not saying it's impressive, just that i can bench more than you think.
i usually use 34kg dumbbells now though.

atm I'm only on 1 plate for bench, so if I fail a rep, I tilt the bar to the left, until its on the ground, then use my legs to push it up so the bar and weights are perpendicular to the ground, but now thanks to this thread imma take the collars off and tip it either side when I get a bit past 1 plate...

That's exactly what I did today. Felt bad, man.
On one hand, I feel thankful and lucky that I only started last week so it's not like I'm working with crushing weights, and on the other I'm a bit mad because it shouldn't have happened in the first place - I joined with a bro, but he bailed on me (again) today. Four sessions and he's only made two - this does not bode well...
