Spotting Techniques

Spotting Techniques

Let me start out by saying that this is a big
responsibility for either party. Choose your spotter wisely and
make sure that you spot to your abilities.

* Pay attention to the person you are spotting
at all times. Don't look at the pretty girl across
the room doing deep knee bends.
* Be prepared to help the person being spotted instantly.
* Ask the person being spotted if they would
like you to put your hands on the bar. (Some people
do and some people don't)
* Ask the person being spotted how many
reps they think then can handle on their own.
* Make sure that you can handle the weight that
you are spotting. If you don't think you can handle it
don't be macho and help anyway.
* Provide only the effort that the person requires
from you. Don't jerk the weight around while someone
is trying to lift it.
* Offer encouragement to the person lifting the
weight. This really helps the person lifting the weight
