Today I did my Intermediate Upper Body Routine that’s in my Pete Physique fitness book. I was lifting some serious weight on the bench press exercise, but it didn’t feel right. That’s when I realized that the guy I asked to spot me was lifting some of the weight himself. I’m sure he was trying to be a nice guy, but he totally messed up my set. I need to feel the entire weight when I’m lifting and I always force one last rep out, to tear more muscle fibers which increases my strength. If I’m not able to complete the additional rep, I land the bar on the safety pins. I guess my point is, if you ever spot someone, let them lift the weight, just help out if needed.

For all of you who look at these photos and think it would be impossible to bench press this much weight yourself, you would be wrong. Read my books and you will be doing sets of 315 pounds in no time.
