EFS Classic: Saving Face: Effective Spotting of The Bench Press by Dave Tate, The Angry Coach and Jim Wendler
At this point, I began asking myself WTF!? and wondering if this is a regular thing. Then I woke up and realized that I come from a sport where knee wraps appear under bench shirts, then disappear, then reappear only to have never been there in the first place. The point here is that unless you were there, you have no idea what happened or who's to blame. It’s always easy to call the shots from the back end or be the Monday morning quarterback, but the reality is one hurt player and a lot of people making excuses and placing blame within the context of something they really know nothing about.By Dave Tate
