"There is no honor among crackheads."
She should be trying that in the rack with the safety rails in place to catch the bar and keep it from squashing her. She can then fail safely without injury. Better to have wounded your pride than your health.
And she should have a spotter instead of a cameraman.
there isn’t no good way to spot squats, and anyone that does is a dumb faggot
also it’s not necessary to squat in a rack—just dump the bar off your back
it’s how weightlifters have trained for 50 years
Those look like bumper plates, not 45s.Of course, the first rule of safety is perhaps humility and not lifting too heavy in the first place. That lift looked like it was almost 2.5 times her own body weight. Which would have been very impressive if she succeeded, but could cause her permanent injury.
the spotter's job is to guide the barbell away from the person if they fail, not to assist. If she's not in the rack, the spotters job is to make sure the bar drops off her back and away from her and doesn't roll back over her.
The purpose of the rack is to provide safety against the scenario demonstrated in the gif. The way she failed prevented her from being able to dump the bar backwards. She may have seriously injured herself attempting what she did, the way she did it and without any safety precautions.
Spot with 2 people?
Also my powerlifting coach just spots me from behind and grabs my waist when I falter. Extra support is usually enough, without the spotter needing to lift anything. (I know not for beginners).
like I said, spotting squats is stupid.. it’s a great way to get hurt
there is no safe way to guide a barbell off someone’s back
and she failed the way she did bc she didn’t know how to dump a bar, not bc it couldn’t have been done
