I realise that the “cool kids” like to lift with thumbs in, but do a little search on Youtube for “Bench press accident”…

Yeah, most of the accidents were bar slip caused by thumbs in.

lmao i had 360 pounds dropped on my neck with three proffesional spotters around me lol and i still hold the record 355 at hebronville high PURO TIGER POWERLIFTING!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the posting. I lift with my son. Our rule is have a spotter and make sure the spotter understands we want him to apply positive force to the bar as we lift. It’s not about ego for us, it’s about getting stronger. If while spotting we lift too much the lifter either says let up a little or we add more weight the next lift. We think the positive force applied is necessary just in case we drop it weight. That way the spotter is already set to apply more force, quickly.
Lets hope that this advice helps to eliminate an accident that was waiting to happen during someones routine!
Thanks for the advice!
