Douchebag spotters in the gym....

[ToxicAvenger]

i almost seriously injured myself while squatting cause my spotter (who i picked cause he ws also training legs) ws staring out at the lake outside the gym window while i ws squatting..<chantilly VA golds>

i pretty much half squatted ..half good morninged out of the hole..

my left lower ab hurt bad after but feels fine now..we'll see how sore my lower back is tomorrow..


i didn't even finish ..i just grabbed my keys and slow walked out of the gym pissed off..

That sucks. I've had several injuries from crappy spotters.

Now if I ever need a spotter, I make sure I grab someone I recognize, or at least look like they know what they are doing.

[antcraw]

anyhow..lets stay on topic..if i dont post up on friday..yall can bash me at will..

[RUDE BUOY]

injuries fucken suck man hope you dont miss any trianing

[bcimagala]

were you squatting in a rack or cage?  if so, why didn't you just dump it?

no reason anyone should be hurting themselves doing 225 on squats.

i opened my big mouth...soo i gotta post up a vid of me doing 225 for at least 10..

my lower ab feels ok right now..tomorrow will tell..my right calf tendon (what ever its called..right below the calf) feels tender..

if push comes to shove..i'm still gonna attempt come friday..albiet with a belt..




i've been pushing legs hard ( 3times/week..high freq low vol)..despite my blabbing on here (cause i trust my legs and muscle mem) i actually only started re training legs 3 weeks ago   i'll do it though..
thanx for the concern though mate

Lesson 1: Never get someone you don't know to spot you on a max

[XFACTOR]

i have blown out my shoulder before i know what its like it sucks man

How about the guy who's spotting you on bench and after 4-5 when you start to struggle a bit he grabs the bar and fully lifts back to the rack. That is the "over spotter".

[ToxicAvenger]

i have blown out my shoulder before i know what its like it sucks man

never blown a shoulder..but wayy back when i actually has some size..i severly strained mine trying 225 seated barbell for 4 reps..

(side note..my bench wasn't much more  about 225 ..yeah i looked funny..big legs calves..big shoulders ..thick back with no width..and no chest or arms ..)

i could get 185 easy but 225 buried me on rep 1..my right shoulder still clicks..and this happened 7ish yrs ago..

i hate that shit he deserves a kick in the balls

i ws gong for 10..this happened at rep 8..wasn't exactly a max..

[SteelePegasus]

It dawned on me a long time that if I needed a spotter I am probably doing something wrong.

yes, yes, I don't go to total failure..I just do one more set

this has serve me well as far as avoiding injures ...don't ego lift...lift to maximize hypertrophy.

lol you forget..i gotta post a damn vid by friday mate..i juust cant have bitchfury have the last laugh on this one mate..

[bcimagala]

lesson to take away from this experience: trust catch bars and a rack over some stranger.

i never ask a some random person for a spot on squats.  i use the rack and dump the weight if i have to.

How about those fucks that drip sweat on you while spotting you on bench.  If you have had that happen you, know how awful it is.
