Proper spotting method for dumbbell pressing

[bornonthebayou]

dumbells under the elbows.. barbells and smith the bar,, machines either the handle or where plates are loaded

Elbows always had idiot spot me by pushing the dumbbells could’ve been injured if it was forced or I lost control

I never count a spot anyway and only rely on someone handing one of the dumbbells

I want to press them myself or have someone just lift the bar or smith machine of and be there as a safety but never touch it unless I call for it at complete failure to re rack the smith or bar

Never liked spotters either unless they know exactly what they’re doing

pet peeve is people who breathe over you, while spotting you. its hard enough trying to manage the weight then they are ex hauling in your face

Well the elbows is the correct place .I have seen people not nobies. That been spotted at the elbows with 120 and 130lbs dumbells.which they can rep with no problem. But at the failier point the wrist has given out and the dbells have fallen inwards into the chest and face. If you hold the wrist that will never happen

First, I’ll stick my thumb in their neck to make sure they still have a pulse

then, I grab one wrist and help them lift the dumbbell, then I will do the same with the other wrist - being sure you yell ‘ALL YOU BRO’ throughout the rep

And then there breath stinks so bad
Why’s it always the breathers with the worst breaths lol

ive literally cut sets short because of gagging from peoples breathe and lack of clean oxygen. flat db press is the worst for it

It’s not nice at all like how in today’s world can someone suffer such bad breath use a brush tooth paste mouth wash dental floss and a tongue scrapper

bad breath cured your breath will be like air no smell

Food breath is different but still I floss brush scrub tongue after eating and hitting the gym and chew gum to provide stronger jaw muscles and burn extra calories from neat and incase a hot chick wants a spot
