    Spotting the squat

    If any of the spotters touch the bar/lifter in GPC, they are red lighted instantly, i have seen it happen on many occasion and have given a red light for it myself.

    Spotting the squat

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euN4UaohtNw Here is the 400kg squat in comparison, he lost the groove so tried to stand back up, no chance in hell of catching that with hands on top of the bar, he would have thrown it off his back.

    Spotting the squat

    The lifter should know their limits, the spotter is there to help if something goes wrong, not pick the lifter up after stupidly going for another rep.

    Spotting the squat

    You don't touch the person squatting when you spot from behind, for the record Silverback, no side spotters touched the bar or plates. I can tell the bar speed and path in either way, for lifter safety, the method i use, in my opinion is the safest, regardless of weight on the bar.

    Spotting the squat

    I just can't think of a reason to spot with my hands on the bar, regardless of weight, so much easier to just bear hug them and pull them up and back. Hands on bar is completely useless in my opinion.

    Spotting the squat

    If someone is squatting 150kg, hands on the bar is fine. Anything above that and if they fail spectacularly you have no chance of saving them, i picked my training partner up with 400kg on the bar, not a chance i would have been able to help with my hands on the bar. Much easier to just help...

    IIFYM – If It Fits Your Macros What Is It and How Does it Work?

    The body converts ketones into glucose for the brain to use, you don't need carbs for brain function, the body will direct glucose away from everything else to the brain.

    Comments welcome - Carb Cycling

    My experience - if you are maintaining on keto, you should not see a decrease in performance if you do it properly, it is usually the associated weight loss that it causes for fat fucks like me that saps strength. But eventually it levels out, i hadn't squatted raw for 16 weeks but easily hit...
