My biggest pet peeve in the gym (aside from the people) is when they have those damn collars around the benches. There is no need to use collars when you are bench pressing. And if you don't know what I'm talking about it's the springy things or the hard round plastic things you slip on the end of the bar to keep the weights in place. Olympic size bars have about a foot on each end and 45 pound plates don't slide very easily, so if you are in danger of your weight sliding off the bar on bench press then you don't know what the hell you are doing.
Also, if you ever get stuck under too much weight your best bet is to try to dump the weight off one side of the bar, which you can't do with the collars on. Do not ever bench alone with the collars on!!! It is dangerous!!!
