Dont you just hate this...

When guys ask for a spot on weight that is way to much for them anyways. Cant even get one rep by themselves, yet they want to do 5 or 10.

I fucking hate that! Especially if im doing biceps that day and then this fool asks for a spot and my biceps get burnt spotting him, lol, too funny, i guess it happens to everyone

 

[csuperman]

I always get this one guy who is like that on leg day and asks for a spot on squats for 10 plates and does 1/2 a rep. His girl I hott though so it's hard to say no.

Very. Tiny little thing with a nice rack and does ass to grass squats, what's not to love.

i hate it even more when its the other way around ... cos i train alone sometimes i would ask a fella to give me a spot when im going really heavy. Im always very specific when asking for a spot, as in i only want the last 2 reps to be helped with, with a very light spot just to get me over the sticking spot.... instead i get fukn heros who bicep curl the weight and i end up doing 12 reps on a weight where i only wanted to do a hard 6-8... then they say "wow man that was all you, i didnt even spot ya"... fukn jerk offs

i had a guy bug the hell out of me all the time for a spot, last time he was squatting WAY to much, before i could help him , he picks the weight up, and Wam! he drops it almost on top of him! LOL!!!! he doesnt bug me anymore :sport::wave: lol!

Very particular on who I ask to spot. Years ago I was going heavy and just looking to get one rep past my
max. Idiot I asked grabs the bar with one hand on the far right side. The right side goes up and the left
goes down. Wrecked my left shoulder. I was young and thought spotting was a no brainer. lol

I had some young kid ask me for a spot on bench today. First of all his form was complete crap...only going down about 1/2 to maybe 3/4 down. The only reason I even noticed was because I was waiting on rack to do bent over rows. He "works" his way up to 225 before he asks me to spot. I have headphones in so I dont even speak just shake my head. So I give him a lift off and proceeds to go about 1/2 way down and then tries to push it up. I know he has no chance of gettin it so my hands are right there. He has nothing....I mean nothing left, so I'm basically doing an upright row just to keep it from crushing this kids chest. I take my headphones and ask if he is done. He says he is and asks me if I want him to strip the weight off. I tell him to leave it, that's what I will start with. I usually don't even bother to help or give advice to anyone unless they ask me for it first, but I had to tell this kid to lighten up the weight and learn how to do things correct if wants to ever really get anything from being in there. He just looked at me like "OK whatever".....then I see him sitting there staring at me doing bent overs. I'm no expert, but I know a thing or two about a thing or two, but it's hard for me to even bother with people like this.

Exactly why I train in self spotting racks, etc...I actually refuse to workout with a spot..

And I refuse to give anyone a spot unless I have known them for years, and even then I actually try never to spot anyone

 

[exbeanpole]

He probably asked for spot Nuk because he felt you needed some extra reps! :laugh:

 

[The Dude]

I honestly don't remember the last time I asked for a spot on anything. Silk may help me when I'm doing heavy incline hammer since I can't get my arms back enough to get behind the handles. Even then its just a little lift. I don't have squats on anything else including squats. Gives me a little extra "oh shit" strength

 

[Metal85]

i'd say yes and no. If its a show -off dumb shit than its annoying. If its a person that really wants to test themselves than its not a pain in the ass, I can respect it, and I ill always help someone (yes despite all my sarcasm I am a nice dude, just passionate bc my Mediterranean roots!)

I remember 1 time I spotted this guy on the incline that was retarded and should be wearing a helmet.. He had the bar on his chest and he went to blow out. And all the sudden fucking chew spit starting to spray out. I got back and it all and back on his face. This is how dumb the guy was he had theSpit on his face the rest of his workout and didn't even no it.
