I've reached the point in dumbbell press (flat bench) where I cant sit back up while holding the dumbbells, even with a momentum rock and the bench has nothing to hook my feet on to use the legs to pull me up. When I have a spotter they either shove me up or take 1 but truthfully most of my spotters have a hard time taking one of the weights and I dont have spotters all the time.
I know the guys just drop them. But I am afraid if I try I'll pull something - i.e. straighten my arm past the point I can control the weight down and pull something.
Is there a technique for releasing the weights?
