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:

To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A spotter's feet should be shoulder - width apart (or in a stable, wide stance) for balance and safety. Standing with feet together is a poor technique as it reduces stability.
• Option B: Standing with feet together is not a proper position for a spotter, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: A spotter does not need to have hands on the weights initially; they should be ready to assist, so this reasoning is wrong.
• Option D: Standing still is not the main factor for good spotter technique, and the foot position is incorrect, so this is wrong.

Answer:

A. poor technique because her feet should be positioned differently
