Spotting the squat

 

More lifters have been injured having their squat spotted and even more spotters have been injured spotting lifters. Two people spotting on either side of the barbell puts the lifter at risk during the spot by eithe moving the bar laterally or causing an uneven load. It also puts the spotters at risk if the lifter bails ut from underneath the bar and leaves the spotters to support the load. The spot from behind method is even worse because it is not much help to the lifter and can really cause the lifter to lose their balance. Not only that but who wants to be therer when a lifter jumps out from underneath the bar and leaves it to crash on the spotter. Practice bailing in the squat to keep yourself and your friends safe.it is really an easy thing to to do. Suprisingly the human body will find a way to keep from being squashed under a heavy weight.
