“PINEAPPLES!!!”
A Long Time Ago… At Our 1st Gym Location… We Attempted A 1 Rep Max Back Squat…
I’m Not Gonna Say It Was A Complete Shit Show… But Maybe Just A Shart Show!!!
Most Of The Athletes Were “New” To Attempting A 1 Rep Max Back Squat…
I Just Assumed That People Knew What To Do When They Were Being Spotted… Or I Also Assumed That If You Didn’t Ask For A Spot… You Knew How To Bail Out…
But…
Yea… Let’s Just Say… It Was… A “Fun” Day…
Since Then… I Have Been Showing All Of You How I’m Going To Spot You… I Know For Our “Veterans”… It Just Sounds Like I’m A Record On Repeat… But Remember… We Have Knew Athletes… And They Might Not Know What To Do… So Bare With Me As I Explain How I Spot…
“PINEAPPLES!!!”
What The Hell Does That Mean?!?!
That Was… For Those Of You Who Know Him… That Was Sexy Choc’s “Safe Word”… True Story…
Why?!?! Because I Don’t Understand “Yes” Or “No”… Meaning I Don’t Know If You’re Saying “Yes Help Me!” Or “Yes I Got It”… Or… “No I Got It” Or “No I Ain’t Got It”…
So Sexy Choc Came Up With “PINEAPPLES!!!”
A Little Long For Me To Say… But Hey… Whatever Works…
Me Personally… I Would Have Chose “PIZZA!!!”
But You Know What Has Less Syllables?!?!
“HELP!!!”
Whatever Your Safe Word Is… Let Me Know Before Your Lift…
And… You Know What Would Be Super Awesome?!?!
If I Could Get Some Help From Everyone Spotting Athletes…
I Can’t Tell You How Many Times We’ve Done Heavy Back Squats And I’m Running Around Like Crazy While The Next Class Is Just Sitting On The Benches With Their Heads Tucked Down Into Their Phones When I Could Really Use Some Help…
If You Feel You Don’t Need A Spot & Are Confident To Bail Out… Congrats!!!
Just Do It Correctly & Don’t Kill Yourself!!!
And Please…
Don’t Kill Your Coach… More On That Tomorrow…
