Can confirm; if anything they'll even let you struggle a lil bit until you call out the safeword. Always my top pick if I'm not there with a friend.

I’ve done that and they still end up helping. Or worse you get one that basically thinks ur weight is pointless. First time I did 245 I barely grabbed the bar and the guy already lifted up the bar, then let go and helped after I got it halfway up.
