[@nittikorn]

I had to watc this after the fails compilation to restore my faith in humanity..

[@Fbitypeshit]

[@chojuj4533]

Haha me too

[@holymoly915]

Ahahaha

[@gabrielcastillo3416]

Same af😂😂😂😂

[@AccendinoMCM]

same LMAO

[@ItsZane]

Gotta respect the lifter at 3:01 for thanking every spotter

[@shukinyama]

That is Joe Sullivan, a real class act.

[@janneplanman6433]

Yes👍

[@danielgteaching1377]

That was perfect spotting also, everybody paying attention and they all gave maximal effort the instant it was needed

[@justincaseypoohed1823]

@@danielgteaching1377 maximal lol

[@manusach6566]

That's actually excellent spotting and frankly very rarely seen.

[@Joesullivan_aod]

They were the absolute best!

[@shukinyama]

Joseph Sullivan They certainly were, do they get paid or is it volunteer?

[@Joesullivan_aod]

shukinyama I honestly have no idea. I hope they were compensated in some way.

[@shukinyama]

Joseph Sullivan わたしも, that's me too in Japanese

[@zboss-5.0]

Thanks god this video exist. I just watched one of these but with skinny ass spotters trying to spot a 227.5 kilo weight

[@GummyYT]

TDMANGO Yea i watched that too just before this, it was brutal

[@killlerpikachu]

Same, wasn't very pleasant

[@veilofmayaa]

Exceptional spotting! Instills so much confidence when you're moving heavy weights. Focusing on the lift instead of wondering if you're gonna be maimed for life if you miss.

[@thanos1308]

Who else vame here to heal after watching the bad spotters

[@youknowwhosolos8931]

Me bro

[@sgmanila]

🆙

[@unfear7]

I needed that after seeing the video with 50kg kids being spotters.

[@thatguy4087]

Never dump the weights! That's a dick move to do to the spotters. Gotta stay in it.

[@cvdheyden]

Those spotters? Spot on! Perfect team and very skilled. Well done!

[@shukinyama]

Agreed

[@MariliaCoutinho]

Thank you for making this video Shukin - I was there, they made it special for each one of us (besides saving lives!).

[@zolttech3907]

1:36 is Larry Wheels

[@powerbounce3445]

Oh damn i didnt notice it coz he had hair

[@ulysses4989]

Hair suited him

[@shukinyama]

Yes, he is the 3rd lifter and at 1:36,, when he was with Animal

[@gg-cm9bg]

He actually had hair

[@titani1k]

With weight this heavy, it's so easy to get deadly injuries without good spotters. Great work to all of them!

[@dirtdragon20c]

Excellent Spotting, Great Video Shukin,......... youdaman!

[@shukinyama]

Thank you Sir

[@Ashenroger]

Seeing spotters doing their job is one of the most satisfaying things in sport. I mean, dudes, by properly doing what you should do, you probably save the life, or at least the health, of athletes. And this, is truly awesome.

[@jakeschreiner9398]

It's amazing how many men it takes

[@shukinyama]

And they are usually just volenteers

[@kitchenmaiden81]

It may not necessarily take that many, however with high weights and injury on the line there's no reason to risk having too few people there.

[@adeelzafar3299]

I also love how they are motivating and cheering up the lifters..

[@janneplanman6433]

A lifter is allowed to fail, but not the spotters. Good job, guys 🦊🏆

[@leonardorojas1781]

Some of the lifters descended to quickly, this made their load get/feel even heavier. Nice to see team work in the spotters!

[@roblocc5112]

That's how spotting is done. Getting the most leverage out of your body to carry that weight back up at ANY point should make YOU look like you are squatting with the lifter. Good show

[@shukinyama]

They were awesome, that’s why I spotlighted them

[@austbob7161]

This is actually entertaining for me. I don’t know why but seeing people help one guy is entertaining lol

[@nimnogaparus]

This is beautiful, thanks for showing appreciation and sharing

[@varia6486]

You can even hear in the back '' great spott great spott

[@Blooblahbeebloo]

I keep rooting for all these guys to hit their lifts but like they wouldnt be in the video if they did lol

[@shukinyama]

😂

[@lastname2110]

Now this is good spotting

[@BenjaminKuruga]

Awesome video.

[@eLuZiveMaRiio]

1:16 incredible spotting

[@prso5587]

The next one is the worst

[@__its_rushikesh]

These guys are amazing man !! 👏🏻💪🏻

[@shukinyama]

For sure

[@abhishekchaudhary1395]

Bruhh that's larry wheels damn

[@shukinyama]

Yep

[@NoaEnt]

Gotta appreciate the communication between the spotters. They're all paying attention and know what to do. Unlike most.

[@shukinyama]

Great job for sure

[@sidu97]

there should be more such compilations than fail compilations

[@shukinyama]

Agreed

[@shanemiddleton3506]

superb

[@shukinyama]

Thank you

[@vishybreh]

I thought I was crazy coming from another video where there’s only one guy at each end of the bar spotting for greater than 200kg lol props to these fellas for taking care of their lifters

[@JinNOSify]

So this is what excellent spotting looks like...

[@matthewyan8354]

fella shouldnt have dumped the weights at 1:00 that coulda seriously hurt a spotter if your planning on bailing yourself with a high bar squat then don't have spotters

[@TheRunescapeian]

i love this video

[@Official-OpenAI]

great spotting

[@dubgli]

is that larry wheel's with a fro squatting?

[@mattmagaling965]

I thought it was him too

[@shukinyama]

Yes, Larry was there

[@thanos1308]

0:50 that’s larry wheels

[@shukinyama]

Yes, the 3rd lifter, when he was with Animal

[@shaun1040]

Being a good or high performance lifter is respecting your spotter knowing they are one of the major reason you’re able to FIND OUT what your PR is.

[@shukinyama]

Agreed

[@HorseyWorsey]

1:22 He's like a Fighter pilot who just got shot down "I CAN'T HANDL-" *DUMP*

[@henri7120]

damn these guys are a machine

[@TheDavidchoy]

These guys are actually the snipers of spotters

[@shukinyama]

Hahaa

[@danielcastaneda4356]

what kind of rack is that called i wanna learn how to use it

[@shukinyama]

I'm not sure the brand name but it is called a 'monolift'

[@kentuckyexplosion]

One of the lifters is Larry Wheels right? 1:38

[@shukinyama]

Yes

[@bhonor12]

The help help one was the best.

[@trevordollinger6569]

Excellent technique. The biggest cue is the guy behind him doesnt pull his chest up until he KNOWS the other spotters have the weight supported! This is key because a lot of inexperienced spotters will pull the guy's shoulders up trapping him in while the side spotters dont even have the weight in control.... I was thinking recently, someone should make a modern powerlifting spotting guide, like a full one 30 minutes fucking long, that every meet should play while setting the shit up lol. edit: I just looked it up, THERE ARE TONS OF GUIDES, the IPF as no excuse smh haha

[@him050]

There seems to be a running theme that the spotting is worse the lighter the weight. It’s almost as if they don’t take it seriously. You’ll notice most of these great examples are people lifting massive weight

[@af_rjp]

Ser cachador no es nada facil! Being spotter is not easy!

[@varia6486]

The satisfaction bro

[@vSilverXXProduction]

that background music reminds me of a certain tunnel section of a certain game hmm

[@NSD-fp9qj]

0:50 Larry wheels and 2:45 John haack

[@leonardorojas1781]

Shouldn't the lifter going down after trying to go up be the hint for spotters to quickly catch the load?

[@pdanny526]

1:24 come again sir?i didnt quite get that

[@ferna2294]

I think he said something along the lines of "URGTAKEITTAKEIT"

[@thembones1895]

@1:40, is that wheels?

[@shukinyama]

Larry

[@puxz18]

1:24 take it take it

[@Ktbk1]

Spotters like a lifeguards have to be in a optimum shape and be prepared to do their job. The health and live of the competitors depends on that. It's a totally disgrace to see unprepared 50kg kids doing that indispensable job in an important competitions. Congratulations to that amazing spotting team!

[@shukinyama]

I wish I knew their names

[@lollipopgurl4053]

Is that Larry? 1:35

[@keenjones8840]

Lollipop Gurl looks like it

[@shukinyama]

Yes

[@nickricciardi7420]

Larry wheels 1:35?

[@Cpo4545]

1:23 Has this dude ever even lifted near this amount😂 he couldn’t even go all the way down with it

[@austbob7161]

I feel like people don’t respect spotters enough. If they weren’t there the lifter could be seriously injured

[@Lsm865]

Rare sight of Larry Wheels with hair

[@Ishaan1316]

0:50 *Larry wheels*

[@shukinyama]

Yes, the 3rd lifter, when he was with Animal

[@squatlover126]

0:51 is that Larry Wheels?

[@shukinyama]

Yes, the 3rd lifter, when he was with Animal

[@jamil3286]

Had to come here after watching a video of spotting fails

[@davidwatts3186]

Jamil Zulfiqar ikr scary kinda makes me think of my own judgement of some spotters

[@omarbhula4254]

Haha same 😂, seen some video of some skinny shit spotters

[@tiagovasc_]

Song?

[@shukinyama]

Unity by Kevin MacLeod i believe

[@tiagovasc_]

Thanks

[@shukinyama]

***** You are welcome, any thime

[@frankdatank5659]

Larry wheels at 1:40!

[@brenthodges7202]

Good fucking job.

[@dozerjunior8241]

Young larry wheels

[@shukinyama]

Yep

[@KZ-ub9bg]

Was that Larry Wheels?

[@shukinyama]

Yes

[@Soda19]

Lifter at 1:34 kind of looks like Larry Wheels

[@Jatinevim]

I think its him

[@joshuacancler7754]

I think it was too

[@theuserme2024]

It's him

[@shukinyama]

Yes, the 3rd lifter and 1:36, when he was with Animal

[@michaeljacobs5059]

There were 2 fails in this montage though

[@douglasdeoliveiracardoso9345]

the fact they don't use a squat hack with safety just to try achieve olympics is stupid, would be a lot safer

[@Rob-sn2xw]

larry wheels

[@shukinyama]

With Animal

[@yourefatandlazy]

ipf can learn from this video
