You don't always need a spot, but don't get all alpha and think it's never necessary. Proper spotting is essential. Lift offs are extremely important. There are too many bad spotters out there and not trying to place blame but a bad spot seriously can ruin a lift or in a sense steal your gains. Giving help too early can take away from someone's progression and who knows maybe they could have grinded it out. A crappy lift off can waste energy trying to stabilize and fix it and from experience I can say screw you over in a PR attempt especially bench. Not having a spot can mentally hold you back just as much as physically. Wrongful or lack of spotting can lead to injury. You aren't beta spotting, you a bro !

This vid needs to be played 24/7 in every gym.

[Mallrat]

Thank god.. since me and my buddy started training together I've felt like an idiot not knowing what the eff I'm doing spotting. Scott, you did it again, brother.

[Pitt]

Learn something every day with you, Scott! Thanks for being the most genuine lifter out there to date!! I already feel safer with these tips. MUCH APPRECIATED!

[kalutheace]

Ok... this is the neatest thing I have seen in a while..ties in nicely with your collab video on back exercises... Kudos ...

[harambae]

This is why Scott is a don. Not many of the top youtube fitness guys take the time to go back to basics like this, and very rarely even talk about spotting technique, even though it can be make or break (literally).

Dude, I love when you collaborate with these guys. Nice video Scott.

I saw someone at the gym once trying to spot a beginner lifer with no stabilization in there dumbbell bench press when he went to spot the person he collapsed exactly how 2:09 showed and he clocked himself in the face with a dumbbell spotting is importing and it's also important to know what kind of person you're spotting beginner or experienced

I've been pretty absent from your channel lately but I'm really glad you made this video. There's nothing worse than when a random at the gym doesn't know how to spot

[abdullahalmosalami]

Now this needs to be seen by everyone, pls.

better said: I'm looking into buying a hex bar, I hear you can get a major advantage doing deadlifts with a hex bar but wanted your opinion on if it's worth it or stick to traditional deadlifts

8:10 that half natty lighting, looking MASSIVE there scott!

[jcsamson]

[Archangeldawn]

I was about to unsub from this channel because ain't no one got time to watch 22 min long videos but this, this is the best How to Spot video on YouTube.

[tacsui]

3:05 - not sure if that guy is aware, he aches his back at the bottom the squat. Could be he doesn't stabilize his core super hard doing the demo, but dunno
