>"Hey bro, can you spot me?"

>guy wants me to spot him on bench
>spot for one set then wander off

Got my own shit to be doing. My workout takes an hour and a half already

A guy asks me to spot him squatting.
I say sure
Have no idea what I'm doing
Let him squat unaware that if he failed he could have just crumpled under the bar without any assistance from me.

Lucky for him he managed his full 10 reps

>hey bro mind spotting?
>he starts deadlifting

>not having a vanilla gymshake after your workout

>>40303939
someone literally asked me to spot them curling dumbbells

>>40303939
"spot" in this case means check out his grapes when he bends down

>>40303948
what if he dropped it on his toes and you werent there to stop it

>ask for a spotter on my squat
>tell them dont touch until i say help
>they say ok
>cant get up on my 5th rep
>tell them i need help
>they say ok
>im still fucking pushing the bar
>it wont fucking move
>fuck, ive fucked us both now by being so weak
>i force myself up again and the bar still doesnt move
>i lose my balance and fall to the side expecting the bar to come crashing on me
>it turns out he was HOLDING the bar which is why i couldnt push it up

Jesus fucking christ i even make sure when i ask for a spot i imitate the squatting motion with my hands out pushing the invisible bar, why do they keep pushing the bar back down on me and trying to stay in the deadlift position instead of just giving me that little boost up

I'm still working on spotting squats. It's hard. You're basically squatting with them to make sure they don't fall forward. You basically have to have your crotch hovering over their ass and your arms under their armpits and around the chest.

It's the most intimate lift to spot desu.

>spotting anyone other than a woman on squats

You do realize the guy was gay and was trying to test the waters to see if you were too, right?

>>40303345

>get ready to spot guy on bench

>he gets amped up by taking ridiculously deep breaths and exhaling super fucking hard

>stank breath

there's this guy at my gym who's a semi famous MMA fighter in my country and I usually do a pretty good job not dropping my spaghetti when he asks me for a spot or shakes my hand
I can't say hi to a girl though

The butt fuck squat spot is a meme, just get close when he's starting to fail, and help push the bar up when he's stuck.
