Ep. #701: How to Not Suck at Spotting in the Gym


Listen Later

I don't know about you, but I don't like balls in my face when I'm bench pressing.

Or a sweaty dude snuggling with me while I squat.

Or being shrieked at to "dig deep," "feel the burn," or "let the big dogs eat."

Or trying to catch my breath mid-set in a noxious haze of someone's fart.

I'm not speaking hypothetically, either.

After 13 years in the gym, I've seen a lot of bad spotting (and a lot of weird shit in general).

Hence, this podcast.

In it, we're going to talk shitty spotting, good spotting, and everything in between.

Let's start with some laughs...
