I have never been spotted on squats before so I wouldn't even know how it's meant to be done.

 

[Delvis]

Never even HAD a spotter, let alone spotted

Spotting is uber important IMO and helps to enhance a work out.

 

[Skillmister]

Spotting is great on presses. Never had one for squats though

No ones in the gym with me

On squats you basically have to spoon the lifter all the way through the reps.

Indeed - it's a little personal, but it really can help get you out of a "**** I can't move, I'm going to fail" mid squat situation!

But what if your spotter is a weakling?

 

[Delvis]

Aye, I'd probably have gone a rep more if I did have a spotter some instances.

Not been in the situation since to test this out again yet though. Soon probably

Who's going to spot me in my posing trunks on squats?

I've had an 8st girl spot me before, and it's amazing what just a little assistance can do to help - they don't have to be strong, if they can help you get the bar back up by reducing the weight of the bar (if you think about it if they push the bar up even by a little it could reduce the bar weight by at least 10-20kg) makes a massive difference.

They key with spotting, is knowing when to help!

I'm all over that

 

[J.T]

I'm all over that

Pictures. (No Homo)

 

[Freefaller]

Oh no... it's homo.

 

[Steedie]

LOL

 

[milgo]

I almost never have a spot for anything. Having someones crotch wafting above my face is too destracting.

I go to gym in work and would never get away with anything spoonie.

Looking forward to this now

 

[Delvis]

Oh no... it's homo.

Bahahahaa

Looking forward to this now

!!!! Due to the homo?

 

[milgo]

Oooops, missed the gearstick.

 

[Delvis]

Oh lordy!

We will see how you guys squat heavy my ass is 5 inchs from the floor full squat then pause and lift, no half squatting men! Plus i cannot get my left arm over the bar so have to use a strap on the bar and hold it 4 inchs down, looks very risky on heavy squats but am used to it (only been back squatting for 5 weeks so only doing about 160kg reps assisted).

Its a pity i cannot do a 180kg bench for you as well haha only back up to 140kg bummer
