The biggest thing there (with increasing the weight) is getting over your fear of dropping it or getting stuck.

I don't use those weight clips just incase I get caught(which I have been) . Then I can just tilt the weight off.

I remember once I had 235lbs (this isn't even that heavy)on the decline and the very first lift up my hand slipped off the bar and the weight came crashing down on my chest and ended up on my neck....:owned2:That was the scariest feeling I have ever had. But so much addreneline pumping through me that it didn't hurt. More like :wall:

Now I use chalk, just incase.:biglaugh:

are you speaking to me?

Yeah, I've had to role or drop a couple of times in my life, but now, there's just no room. I should take a pic of my "gym" ha.

Naw, talking bout my rant on weight on the bar while working out alone.
