How To Be The Best Spotter in The Gym

By Nick Nilsson

There's more to spotting than simply pulling up on the bar
or pushing up on the elbows. There is an art and science
to effective spotting. Learn the best techniques here!

OK, so that is a real term? It sounds wierd to me. Can I use it in a thesis about phys.ed. for the university?

Well, I personally know it from weight lifting, but I do believe it's used in other types of activities as well.

BTW, I know a spotter as the person who makes sure you don't drop the dumbell (dumbbell?) on your chest when lifting weights. But does it fit for gymnastics?

He he, we keep posting at the same time.

Spinal cord injuries can be caused by any of the same events that cause traumatic brain injuries. In addition, causes of SCI include the following:
Diving into shallow water head first;
Head-first sports maneuvers such as sliding into a base or tackling; and
Failure to use a spotter for gymnastics moves.

seems to work elsewhere, too.

Thanks a bunch, dude, I appreciate it!

For anyone else looking for gymnastics terms, this site is good, better than wikipedia.
