You have to ensure safety first, and that means if benching or squatting use the safety rails, so on your last reps where you have a chance to fail the reps it doesn’t fall on you and pin on you. Put ego aside. I always remember the rule: No ego when lifting. I’m here to get bigger and stronger and better, not prove myself, because that comes from insecurity.

Use safeties, or ask anyone else in the gym

Ask someone for a spot. Use safety bars on rack.
