Well he says 100kg so I doubt it would be an issue with inexperienced spotters and too much weight. You are right though if they do not know what they are doing it can be an issue but many people think spotting from behind is extremely dangerous too.
Told you so
Man just go find a gym with a real power rack and lift until you can't get up anymore and when you fail just slowly bring it down and rest it on the safety bars. A one off casual fee will be worth it.
A gym without safety pins on the squat rack? I have honestly not seen that.
it just has a safety bar at about waist hight, so the bar would drop to there, the problem is that the safety bar is too low to comfortably drop the weight onto..
Waist height is even a little high for a safety bar. If you can't squat that low, don't bother going up in weights and trying 1RM. You should keep practicing till you can squat deep. If you're hitting proper depth, that 120kg will become 100kg.
Check out the height of the spotters bars in the video with Harvey, mid thigh. Its pin height 7 for anyone using the same rack. This height never changes, regardless of the lifter
On his next attempt, Harvey dropped the bar on the pins and walked away.
Waist high is way too high, like Jeremy said.
From your description, it sounds like your squatting very high.
Nick hits the bars at mid thigh, at 6'1" and 200kg on his back, as do others
Just dump it if youre doing high bar and fall forward if doing low bar..
