Worst humble brag ever.

Lot of you are donks about the gym.
I had some professors in my department that routinely served as expert witnesses in trials related to injuries during exercise and sports. It's quite remarkable how often injuries occur. And they happen for ridiculous reasons. If you go to a gym and don't inspect the equipment you're using, and use things like collars, you're a moron. You protect yourself from getting sued by someone and protect yourself from injury.
Believe it or not, many gyms are staffed by idiots. I've seen them 'clean' the benches using Armor-All, so you just slide right off the bench. I've seen them 'oil' the equipment by putting a light coat of oil on the sleeves of barbells whereby the weights just fly off. Have seen cases where bolts are laying on the floor and the staff picks them up and never tries to figure out where they came from, and then a bench collapses and a person gets hurt. Or cable machines with frayed cables that snap. In one case during a lat pulldown the bar came down so hard a guy needed reconstructive surgery on his face. And I've personally been hit in the head by a flying barbell because a dumbass decided to strip the weights off one side entirely, instead of removing plates from each side, alternately.
It only takes 30 seconds to inspect a cable, verify all the bolts are present and tightened on a bench, that your barbell isn't warped or unthreading or off the bearings etc.

I think some of the people in this thread need to apologize to the OP.
I bench presses once. It could have been me. Or shite, any of us.

Are you trying to grow tits, cause that is how you grow tits.
Now when you are ready to get strength go see the Health and Fitness board.

My work out schedule is light, medium, and then heavy and I switch every two months. So I go through all three twice in 12 months.
Light= 4 X 12
Medium= 4 X 8
Heavy= 4 X 5
Even though the older I get I’m starting to think about skipping heavy and just alternate between light and medium. I do a lot of running and swimming for cardio too. What is your workout schedule?

And I never dropped the weights off the side
Edit -
Full disclosure over winter I was doing 531 BBB and at the end I was doing 5x10 225 on the volume days. Normally on my light, medium, heavy days I would only have a AMRAP set over 10 reps.
There is a board for this though and I should of paid more attention to some here.
