Question

a spotter stands near the lifter with his feet wide and hands near the lower back. he pays careful attention to the bar and makes sure the lifter does not fall backwards. this is most likely a spotter for a an overhead press b a dead lift c a squat d a bench press please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

• In a squat, the lifter is in a standing position with the bar on the shoulders. A spotter needs to be ready to prevent the lifter from falling backwards.
• For an overhead press, the spotter's position and focus are more on the bar above the lifter's head.
• In a deadlift, the lifter is lifting from a bent - over position, and the main concern is usually with the form and lifting mechanics rather than falling backwards in the same way as a squat.
• In a bench press, the lifter is lying down, so the risk of falling backwards does not exist.

Answer:

C. a squat
