    I liked the ending note.

    I hate when videos show someone drop the bar on themselves from the top of the rep, and so many of the comments are something to the effect of "What the hell what the spotter doing? What an asshole." As though one person is supposed to react and bent over row 365+ in less than 100ms.

    To the rule of never using a thumbless grip while bench pressing, I would also add “Never spot anyone using a thumbless grip.”

    People who do are also “bigger fools”.
