How DO you spot a squat?
After seeing the guy who died squatting on here I've been wondering what the squatter should have done
What's the correct way to spot a heavy squat?

>today im going to high bar sq-ACK
Dumping or safety racks is best for squats imo.
Two spotters on both sides. Clearly one baldcel wasn't enough
Dont squat with that shit over your neck especially when it weighs twice your body weight. Even if you front squat you have a chance of snap city but atleast you wont fricking die
When spotting a squat make sure to push the weight forward so the squatter can't drop it behind his back. It might ruin the plates or the floor.
You have two for this weight on the sides.
If one the spotter's job is to yank the bar backwards hard as frick. Preventing it from rolling up the neck is your only job
This one didn't even touch the bar even when it was obvious he missed it
Alternatively, use the goddamn equipment correctly
He couldn't drop the bar cause of the stupid spotter
You can always dump the bar with someone behind you. Unless that person is actually pushing the bar back onto your shoulders. Every spotter knows that's your escape route and the weights won't actually crush his feet or whatever.
He literally pushed the bar back
You can watch the video anon, he literally got killed by the spotter. He certainly didn't do himself any favors beforehand but the spotter's action is what ended his life
Spotter killed him.
moron took his own life and ruined the spotter's as well, he will probably start drinking or some shit to cope with killing a young man via sheer stupidity.
This.
This isn't even a low-bar vs high-bar issue, without a spotter behind him, it would have been easy to drop the weight and walk away.
Instead the bar goes forward? That's not likely.
We also need to put the blame squarely on Rip for the Starting Strength Beginner's program, murdering people like this young man for year on end.
The spotter was his dad
I have no idea why people even use spotters for squats.
I've failed a 405 squat in a cage and it's dead easy, you just squat down all the way like you're sitting down and the weight hits the safety bars.
no idea why I would want to involve another person and complicate this process.
The correct way to squat is to put faith in God and put faith in yourself.
World if bread was never invented
he's safe now
dome tops just want a power bottom that bad makes sense its a muslim country
You would push up on their lats apparently but just use safeties instead.
You don't need a spotter. If using bumper plates, just drop the weight off your back. If using bare iron plates, use safety pins. That's it.
>How DO you spot a squat?
You don't. You squat in a power rack.
belts are gay
change my mind
wait you can't cause I'm right
and you're gay
If only he'd followed his own advice...
>pussy bars for 180kg
Just drop the bar, now he made a guillotine machine like a smithing machine
Literally all could have been avoided by just using the safety bars. Just dumb ego lifters who think taking safety measures away from something objectively dangerous makes it cooler or something.
Why don’t people know how to bail a squat? Just watch ONE video of choice of any olympic weightlifter youtuber and literally just copy what they do when they fail a squat
You don’t need a smith machine, belts, power cages, safeties etc
Literally just drop the bar behind you, jolt forward and let go of the bar
>Doesn't know how to squat max. Ass to grass is out
Neck to deck is the new method.
Just don't ego lift like a moron.
