Animalpak.com - The Art Of Spotting!
Not many people in the Pilates Spandex era of today know how to properly spot someone. They think that standing over them and dripping mist from their balls onto someone's face is considered spotting. Learn why most spotters suck and a hilarious story of two jerks in my old gym...

yet another completely crap article written by animalpak. Absoloutley worhtless and uninformative pile of ****
sorry for being so blunt about it ryan but those articles have got to go...theyre always articles full of similies for the words "intense" and "hardcore" and play off the stupidity of newbies who think puking after a wrokout is beneficial, you never learn anything from them, and they dont add to bbing.com one tiny bit. in fact if anything they take away from it.....

BUMP
Couldn't agree more. This kind of crap is what gives bodybuilding a bad rep. If being intense and hardcore is bragging about how tuff you are, I reckon my definition is different.
The trully hardcore people are those who still remain humble, in spite of being the best absolute BB they can be.
Besides, their articles are just plain annoying.

Garbage
This is one of the worst articles that I've read!
Publishing garbage articles like this tarnishes Bodybuilding.com's reputation. It proves that they'll let anyone publish anything.

I don't see anything wrong with this article. This is what I got from it: If you're spotting someone pay as much attention to them as you would want in return. I think these stories are great.

The maturity level of this author is somewhat between 6th and 8th grade; if you want to be a professional write like one; the "****" and "****" don't add anything and make your advice questionable. Try it again without the little boy words.......................thanks

The Art of Spotting? An art? Maybe that should be a required course at the local college. I guess someone had to write it.

Vocal chords have no impact on strength. They do, however, garner attention. This is very important for those who are not lifting heavy. So do wearing doo rags, sunglasses in the gym, throwing weights, etc. People like this are why many people abhor going to the gym.

wow
that had to be one of the funniest articles I've ever read on this site. The moral of the story it home. No spotting = injury = possible surgery = major loss in muscle, gains, etc.
The way it was written though. I couldn't help but laugh.
