Oh man! I hate this the most. There are times that I will spend an extra few minutes looking for just the right person. It's weird that often times, jacked guys jump in too early even after I tell them to let me struggle.

It may be best to have a n00b looking guy who will just be like "this is a lot of weight,.... he said not to touch it... i should listen"

I always have the same saying "I don't need a lift. Let me struggle. I will tell you if I need help" Amazed that people can't comprehend that.

One guy totally touched the bar and then was like, that fourth rep was all yours.
