I'm doing bench presses and I'm working out the last rep on it and this guy comes running over halfway across the gym to help spot me. I know it was a kind gesture but I already had the bar over the holds and was about to place it down. I was kinda pissed about it really but I thanked him regardless.

Before I was doing my sets he was looking at me funny as if I wasn't strong enough to do the weight on the bar (235, which isn't much, but hey I'm working on it) and I know it was nice of him to keep an eye on me but I wasn't dropping the weight on my chest or asking for help. He didn't have to run across the gym like superman on crack to save me wtf if I couldn't have done that rep I would have screamed like a bitch. Oh well, my rants over...

just thank the guy, cuz sometime you might need help.

but that does seem awfully strange if you already had the bar up.

sheit, last time I asked a guy to spot me and at my 7th rep I held the bar to catch my breath and the PULLED the bar and tried to rest it back. I said NO!, then on my last rep I had the bar 4 inches from my chest and ran out of gas and his arse was looking elsewhere. I was like SPOT!
and he's all like OH!
friggen idiot, needless to say I am never going to ask him to spot me if I see him again.
