Ballatore Strength

There’s a right way and a wrong way to spot a heavy squat.

Standing behind someone might look like you’re helping, but if the bar actually gets stuck, it’s hard to safely take control of the weight.

The better option: one spotter on each side of the bar.

That way, if the lifter can’t finish the rep, both spotters can help lift the bar evenly and get it back into the rack safely.

Strength training is safe when people know what they’re doing.
