when should you touch a barbell while spotting?
a) only when assistance is needed
b) through the entire rep
c) during the downward phase of the rep
d) during the upward phase of the rep

Explanation:

Spotting is about safety. Touching the barbell only when assistance is needed allows the lifter to perform independently when possible. Touching throughout the rep (B) can interfere with the lifter's form and confidence. Touching only during specific phases (C, D) is less comprehensive than providing help only when truly required (A).

Answer:

A. Only when assistance is needed
