I've heard you get more power if you keep your glutes firmly planted on the bench. You should help him with this.

I wondered about that in all seriousness. Any way to stop my lower back from aching when I bench press? I press my back and glutes into the bench the best I can but is still have the pain. I press through it though, am I risking injury or will it just strengthen over time?

Squeeze your glutes and release. Repeat in 1-2 second pulses throughout the exercise. That way, you know you're activating them and putting less stress on the back.

This made me think of the scene from Jacka$s where Knoxville spots that guy while sporting a fake hard on.

I was walking by his bench...there was no one else around. He had clearly done several sets already. He asked me to spot him.

Was he hitting on me?

If he'd already done those other sets, why ask me now other than he was clearly attracted to me...right?

That's my move usually but now that you know of it I'll have to come up with something else.

Will you spot my hip thrusts?

Does this mean I should be getting erections every lifting session to get stronger?

Depends was he a 30 year old vintage cougar? If so, yes he wanted a piece of you. And probably to do it grandpa style since 30 year olds are vintage now. Don't break his hip.
