Poll: How much weight do you guys think spotters take off the bar???????????
« on: January 20, 2007, 08:05:15 AM »
this little assclown "usmokepole" seems to think that a guy with his fingers barely wrapped around the bar with one hand takes 100 pounds off the bar on Dennis James's 485 pound incline presses, hahahahaha, the guy is standing a foot behind the bar and literally is barely pulling on it with one hand, whaddya think?

epic start a thread meltdown.


better not workout with superstar, if your benching more the 20 pounds he will not be able to haul it off you. spotters can only lift 10-20 pounds according to superstar. you feat of human strength is remarkable.

I have trained with many guys of pro level bber and you dont need 100lbs pulling power to spot them.

so i take it that "usmokepole'' is one of those clowns that put 225 on the bar and could only get one with a spot. so he throws on 315 because he's doing negatives ::)

maybe 10 to 20 lbs.

the question was "how much weight to you think spotters take off the bar" the above was your answer dipshit.

another internet strongman.


it wasnt two fingers either, watch the vid, cleary has his whole hand wrapped around the bar. plus i never said he was pulling 100 just that he could be, you couldnt tell, unless you have a special power to determine how much pressure someone is applying in pounds by watching them.

Kyomu, i never said you need 100 pounds, and ive spotted people doing weight to failure were i had to pull it off there chest, obviously it is needed sometimes.

hahahahaha, it looks to me like usmokepole is trying to justify people benching 100-200 more pounds than him with someone barely touching the bar with their fingertips for spotting.

hahaha, ssbg.  You can spot these types a mile away..."Yeah, he benches twice as much as me, but he's fat."  As his life partner rolls his eyes and says "He's around 15% and you are at 10%...."

I think the main thing in this case that helps the most is the continuous momentum due to the applied pressure at certain points.  The amount of weight that is "reduced" is somewhat arbitrary.

A good spotter will know when to even touch the bar.  I get pissed when a spotter touches the bar when not necessary.  Only when failure sets in and the bar starts going down than, and only than should a spotter be needed on ordinary lifts.  When going for something over 300, I like a spotter to be right their and ready to save my ass just in case.  Usually they just take off a few lbs. so I can finish and maby even get a few forced reps in.  The more forced reps, the more important the spotter is as with each rep the spotter's load goes up.
