I think theres a big misconception with spotting.....When the person starts to fail, all they need is that tiny extra little bit of force to get the weight moving =>spotter doesn't really have to be a hulk, imo.

nowatchamacalit

Agreed.

jodes

I train with guys, i cant possible pass up the weights they lift but as a spotter, i know exactly when each one needs that extra help to complete their reps, sometimes all it takes is encouragement and that tiny last push from me. I train exactly the same as they do, less weight of course, but follow their routine to the max. They push me and i dont let them quit, good combination!!!

Yay Jodes!!!!

Thats exactly what I need!

Maybe one day!

Hahahaha, they would love you, seriously though i have improved so much from training with these guys, they push me to the max, they have been training over 20 years so have so much knowlege to share, my tip, hook up with a couple of old bodybuilders!!! lol, x.

adrian

there you go jodes your proof of the point i was making,im your trainning partners saw your enthusiasm and you have great workouts .
thats the only reason i give the guy i have been trainning with the last month the time of day ,he gives his all with what he can lift ,is intence and turns up on time so far ha ha.
didnt shaun offer to train with you baby yo yo,hes at truro and a experianced bodybuilder.
the only competing body builders in newquay i can think of trains at our place. sorry cant be more help ,you need a car ha ha.

BabyYoYo

Hey yeah Shaun did offer but we train at different times etc and it would be a pain in the **** trying to get to truro! I need a driving licence - got the car already!

You've been a great help adrian, I guess I could always come down to hayle at some point! Let me know if you ever come up this way!!

funny you should say that i was there sat night ,on a friends birthday meal in buzzios .
the food was all pre ordered and paid for, i should not complain as it was free , but the steak with mcdonalds style chips with a letice leaf was pityfull for the 20 quid my friend got charged ,so i had 2 ha ha.
so where do you train then you never did say im guessing the newquay fittness center place ,forgot the name now.
its my bday this weekend and im doing a meal with friends from over newquay dont no where we will eat but it wont be buzzios ha ha .
i actualy train nearer to you cambourne gym the fitstop ,its a lifters gym.

Davetherave - A spotter shouldn't be lifting the weight for you. the idea of having a spotter is to just have enough support to carry you through the sticking phase. I see so many people putting on too much weight on the bp and having a mate either side lifting it for them.

I personally train alone and if I need a spot I ask anyone, men women, whoever.

one good thing about training by yourself is that you get to no ur limits so you no what you can lift.
if you use a spotter they reali should only touch the bar to get it moving again not do the exercise with you!

wel thats what i think anyway others may have other opinions

Hey Kate – I’m Ange & I live in Newquay & would defo be up for someone to train with. I’d been training for over a year until I went away in Feb - I’m now home and a stone heavier and very keen to get back into it. Started back at the gym last week and am loving it. I haven’t read all 8 pages of this thread as my laptop is really old & slow but if your still looking for a training buddy or if you fancy hooking up for a chat give me a shout – its really nice to know there’s another woman in Newquay into more than just “toning” drop me an email – its my username at yahoo.com as I don’t think I can do the PM bit yet as I haven’t posted enough.
Cheers Ange

BabyYoYo

Yay!!! PM coming your way Ange!!
