My gym (USA gym) has a bench press contest every month. The gym record was 525 & the man who accomplished that has a plaque on the wall, picture on the wall, a 500+ bench press T-shirt with the gym logo & receives accolades everyday at the gym.
The last competition my goal was 535 pounds. I brought in my own spotter (Jessie). I struggled a bit - but got the 535 up, however, Jessie applied his two pinky's to the bar to make sure it was balanced and now the gym WILL NOT acknowledge my record. They say Jessie helped me with the spot. Jessie told them at most his pinkies took away 2 pounds but the gym will not budge. Even if Jessie did help I still pressed 533 pounds.
They will not give me the plaque, picture, T-shirt or accolades. Now I got my own T-shirt made that states on the front 535 pound bench press champion & the back says "USA is NOT OK" to mock the gym. The gym told me I can't wear the T-shirt and will NEVER acknowledge my 535 record. Why is the gym doing this to me?
