Question

while carefully watching the lifter, the spotter stands with her feet together and her hands ready. in terms of safety, this could best be described as __________. a. poor technique because her feet should be positioned differently b. good technique because she is positioned properly c. poor technique because she does not have her hands on the weights d. good technique because she is standing still please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

When spotting, the spotter should have feet shoulder - width apart for better balance and stability. Standing with feet together is a poor technique as it can lead to loss of balance and inability to effectively assist the lifter. Having hands ready is correct, but the foot position is wrong. Option C is incorrect because the spotter doesn't need to have hands on the weights at all times (just ready). Option B and D are incorrect due to the wrong foot - positioning assessment.

Answer:

A. poor technique because her feet should be positioned differently
