I failed a bench press today that I should have been able to make. I usually bench then squat, but today I flipped them around. So 4th set of 5 reps of 155lbs the 3rd rep was not going back up.
I've never failed before - I always stop one before. But the safety bars were on, I let them catch it & rolled off the bench.
Guy near me asked if I was ok. I replied "yep. That's what the bars are for."
Metaphor for life. Make sure there's something (or someone) to catch you & then trust they will.
