Title: Heaviest weight you have ever spotted
Post by: Ursus on August 29, 2008, 05:00:38 PM
Nothing frightening for me.

400lbs squats for reps

440 for a single, spotted a 420 and guy just fell into it leaving me to pull him up with his disgusting sweaty hairy body touchinging mine

390lb bench.

Worst thing is I worry more over 275lb negatives as i have to pull them up than the strong dude who would not be attempting 390 unless he was capable

i always ask whoever im gonna spot how many reps they are going for
and i make it very clear if you cant do one rep on your own the bar is staying on your chest
once i saw a guy do 12 reps with 315 his pal pulling the weight off him from rep one... i kindly asked to spot him the next set.....
he didnt even get one rep and i left the bar on his chest for 10 seconds.. askin him whats wrong you just did 12 reps.. then i deadlifted it off him.

I haven't spotted that many heavy weights - probably a 400lb bench press is the highest I can think of right now.

That is with 5 guys though, one of the head and two per side on the bench and basicly the same on Squat. One in the back two per side. I train at Westside Barbell in Columbus Ohio one of the best powerlifting gyms in the world. So Yeah it gets pretty scary in there. We got 198ers doing almost 600 Raw and he is at 800 Shirted. Makes for a fun morning in there :)

Gus Resthwich (sp) 630 squat, I was 20 and scared to death to spot that kind of weight.
Title: Re: Heaviest weight you have ever spotted
Post by: cauthon on August 31, 2008, 02:50:23 PM
I once spotted a 630 squat by myself. I have spotted 700+ as one of three spotters. I spot 500+ squats on a weekly basis. It is at the point where it is routine.

I have spotted a 510 bench press as a side spotter and 450 as back spotter.

Having a good spot is essential when you are trying something you have never done or when going all out on rep work especially squats. I have seen people puke,bleed and pass out with the bar on their back. There better be at least three people with their hands close to that bar.
