Man REFUSES To Help Woman In Gym After Getting Pinned By Weight

Though a spotter can be helpful, it's not required. It does help to start light, then work your way to heavier sets. Her outfit gave me the impression she bit off more than she could chew. I've trained with Step Aerobics instructors who didn't dress that provocatively.

@sauger1001: In checking proper form, a mirror is more helpful imo, than a spotter.

@sauger1001: I thought the spotter was for safety so you didn't injure or kill yourself!?

@WMHarrison94: In certain situations, sure, but the vast majority of lifters don't use spotters, yet I can still work a set to failure, take a rest, then do another set. For me, the key is working smart, but starting very light; usually half of my perceived limit. I could be wrong, but I believe that woman was inexperienced. I believe she deliberately put herself in that position, camera included. Why? Who knows. I was in her position many years ago, when I was inexperienced. Hopefully she learned her lesson, as I did.

I should say "... RARELY use spotters..."
