Spot the Squat

Here’s Freddy Camacho from One World showing everyone how to spot the squat correctly. A lot of our guys and gals still don’t know how to spot correctly, even after being shown multiple times. So my advice to you is to watch this over and over and over. If I ever see you spot wrong again, I will snap kick you in the hamstring. This spot technique should be used for forward, backward and lateral barbell lunges as well.

If you’re going at all heavy,even if you know you can probably get it by yourself, make sure you have a spotter anyway. A spotter gives you confidence to go full depth without the worry of getting stuck. A spotter just makes you feel warm and cozy inside when they are right on top of you breathing hot air down your neck. A spotter also helps you not die, which is a good thing.
