SPOTTING AND KNOWING YOUR LIMITS

It is very important to have a good spotter when lifting heavy! Being and having a good spotter can make or break you... literally. When spotting be sure to pay attention to the person you are spotting, if they start to struggle you want to be there immediately! Help them on that rep with just a small amount of force, you don't want to do the rep for them, instead slowly assist until they finish. You wouldn't want 200 lbs smashing your face or neck. Also know your limits, its not a race or a competition to see who can do the most weight. Work at your pace and it will come. If you cant keep good form or do the reps then simply swallow your pride and drop the weight to one you can get a good workout with. Don't get me wrong it is good to push yourself and to add weight, but just use good judgment so you don't hurt yourself or your spotter.
