This makes zero sense. Who asks a new guy at the gym for a spot for a 585lb squat. Seriously total bullshit. Just cause some guy told the story doesnt make it true.
No this seems logical.
Mr. Olympia would walk up to some new guy at the gym and ask him for a spot on squats, it was probably super busy and Brian couldn’t step away from the front desk, he was collecting membership fees. If the spotter had his hands on Ronnie’s chest when he was going down he’d probably been okay.
Or MAYBE the guy may have leaned in a little to close and would have grabbed Ronnie a little tight, to tight some would say, and as Ronnie was going down his glutes thrusting back threw this guy off balance causing him to stumble and fall forward into Ronnie and all the weight crashed down onto his neck and Ronnie ends up paralyzed.
It all could have played out so differently.
