Is failing at spotting a crime? Like, if somebody gets killed because of a sloppy spotter, is it punishable by law? Asking for a friend.

what did you do haha?

I'll spot you user, let's find out

If the spotter did it through negligence (i.e. was looking at their phone or away) then it would be a crime, but it's not their fault if they're simply too weak, or some retard does suicide grip and drops a 405 pound bar on his chest

No, you won't go to jail for that, worse; you might lose your gym membership

Only if you shoot them in the head after.

I feel like you would have a really hard time trying to convict somebody of that. Even getting a person who failed a spot into court would be pretty much impossible.The person is putting themselves in danger and you failing to save their stupid ass isn't murder. It would kind of be like suing a paramedic that let someone who had both their legs ripped off die. What more could they do?

Honestly who the hell has time to spot others? My time is invaluable. Unless I'm getting paid, I'm only doing stuff if it benefits me.

u only really need a spotter on 1-3 reps

It isn't.
>t. spotter in this vid

bruh u could have larry wheels spotting u, nobody can catch a suddenly falling 2+plate barbell in their hands

The chick with the arm wraps is the only one who did anything right.

Fuck my shoulders hurt just watching that.

home gym masterrace reporting in. For my bench, i use my safety bars in my squat rack. The weight might fall on my chest but it won't kill me or anything because the safety bars are just high enough. Quick question though. On OHP do people hurt themselves?

are wraps a meme?

The spotter's job is not to magically catch 200 pounds out of midair. The spotter's job is to provide the last bit of assistance to get the bar up if necessary. If you think you might drop the bar on yourself, just bench with safeties.

you should never be OHPing anything near an amount you cant just control on the way down if you fail the lift

I mean, seriously nigger, the bar was moving up when you ran in and fucked it up. This webm makes me angry.

you're supposed to pick the weight up off him, not rape his head

If you fail an ohp it'll be off the chest, so not really

Well thats what I figured. The only way you can hurt yourself is if you jerk the weight up. Is this thinking correct?

you'd have to be an absolute retard to drop the weight on yourself during ohp. you're literally standing up ready to move if you need to unlike bench

What is there to control? You can catch the weight with a fair bit of speed in the front rack position, and if you really can’t control it just let it drop on the ground. Not like bench where it’ll fall on you

thats what im saying, the worst case scenario if your OHPing a reasonable weight is you just catch it, or if you are afraid of that you just push it forward and it slams the ground and you get laughed at

Oh shit that the fitness park i go

he was literally about to make that lift yet those retards had to jump in to save him...

Never Jerk the weight in an OPH, I smashed my two front teeth out doing that.

Spotter wouldn't have been able to do anything there even if he had been in a proper position. The guy dropped it after less than half a second of stalled upward motion. Would've needed a spotter either end to catch. The egolifter shouldn't be trying to push weights his wrists will fold up under desu.

His bench form is just dumb. He had his elbows behind the bar, didn't have a good position for the barbell in his palm, didn't wrap his wrists right, and to top it off is a tiny twinkshit that shakes like a Chihuahua at room temperature when pushing heavy weights. Also he benched that weight like 2 weeks before that video.

Just use hip hinge if you struggle with last reps, no need to jerk idiots

>suicide grip
Yeah no that's on you. If anything you deserve to have it dropped

>and to top it off is a tiny twinkshit that shakes like a Chihuahua at room temperature when pushing heavy weights

women in the gym should be banned

Kill her

Drop a pl8 on her head when she’s doing some retarded meme exercises on her yoga mat

tried to roll out?

Why didn't you roll it off

I think its because my arms are really short and I can't drag the bar to my pelvis without crunching

Involuntary man slaughter if you're spotting and drop the bar or voluntary if you're trying to off your gym nemesis. Negligence if you do nothing

did you becomes friends with the guy that saved you?
