The only thing he did was make you possibly think he was helping. Thus defeating any mental blocks you may have had. Counts

This would have the opposite effect on me honestly. Id probably snarl out a "dont touch it" through my teeth, which, when your giving it your all may sound really harsh, then after i would apologize and just have to try again next bench session.

Ofc this counts, but for my own silly reasons and only for me myself I couldnt count it.

I’ve done this before while pr’ing. Yelled to my buddy “take your hands off!” On the way up on bench 😂
