just saw someone get stuck

Skipped out of work quick to sneak in an early workout. This high school kid was squatting behind me on another rack...or at least hovering around a rack. He had a few of his boys with him...and granted...they are probably all 17 or so so none of them were sizable. This kid was the biggest, prob 6'2 but lanky and not filled out at all. You could tell he was the ringmaster though. This kid has 315 on the bar and was looking around for someone to spot him. I ignored because there was NO WAY he was squatting it....lol. Some old guy said he'd spot him and this kid gets under it fearlessly. I'm thinking, what the fuck is he doing???!! I've been lifting long enough to size someone up quick to know if its a weight they should be messing with and my stomach told me no on this kid. Anyway, he goes down and ever so slowly, with the guy helping under his arms, he squeeks one out...then goes for 2....ohh jeez....the guy is really tugging now....then goes for 3! He gets stuck deeeep at the bottom and he just couldn't get out from under the bar...the guy had to pull it back off of him. The funny thing was, his form was good (or the sheer weight for his undeveloped frame perfectly smooshed him). He's all embarassed and his boys who were curling come over and they were like, "How much was that?"...and he proudly shouts "315!". I'm dying.....and then the unthinkable...it gets better. Now I have to believe he is wrenched or at least scared and exhausted from that....but no, I look up after one of my sets and the fucker has added another assortment of smaller plates...prob. an additional 30 lbs or so.....lol. I almost yelled at the old guy because he goes over to spot him again. This kid needed to be told, "Buddy, too much weight for you. Are you serious?" Again, kid gets under it and the old guy is literally hugging him at this point from behind, and he lowers the weight...and gets stuck. What a fucking moron. The best part is if I'm not mistaken, my buddy saw this kid get stuck on the incline bench under a bar about 6 months ago. Kid has no clue what his body is capable of...no clue what his maxes are. I'll bet he is juicing and is just anstonished he got a bit stronger. How can you be that goofy and careless?? I felt like yelling at the old guy for encouraging that dangerous shit.....terrible, but funny as hell.
 
yeah sometimes you can look at somebody and instantly tell yourself, "there is no fucking way he is going to try that. lol he is. let's see how this goes." the kid will get injured soon enough. i'm not going to say he deserves it, but he has it coming.
 
Yeah but then there are times where you think that and they just throw up the weight. Ive seen a kid I would say be around 5"8 or so weighing prob under 200 wh doesnt look built at all come in and put on 225 to warmup with and then two sets later hes doing reps with 315 maxing out at 365.
 
I find the best cure for people like this is to laugh at them, and make sure they know youre laughing at them. If they dont ask you why youre laughing, theyll typically just go do something else.

I am slow, so I can't find the humor in a spoted triple w/ good form. Again, I am a fat powerlifter so I know very little. And anyone that fails in the hole must be too stupid to chose their weight correctly...or they are making sure they are really maxing..wait, I am stupid, no real lifters get stuck in the hole. I need to retrain my puney brain on how the big boys do it.

What do you squat?

I don't find it too particularly stupid. Granted I don't think he should've added more weight after the first heavily spotted rep, but nothing horrible. At least it was better than the tools at my gym that load it up and barely move.

I get stuck all the time, but never had a spotter. Learned how to pop the weight off my back and release so it hits the ground instead of my spine. I've seen plenty of guys I thought would get buried by the weight rep it out easily...and plenty of big guys who could barely squat at all.

This is why people should use the damn helping supports so you can drop the weight in a safe manner! Dumb Asses!
