Spotting is not about lifting the bar for someone. It is about being ready the moment they cannot. This lesson covers stance, grip readiness, and communication before the first rep.
Spotting and Rack Safety Fundamentals
Safe Spotting Basics
Before the set
Agree on the number of reps and the signal for a handoff. Confirm the lifter wants a liftoff or not.
During the set
Hands tracking the bar, never touching it unless the lifter stalls or says take it.
