When weightlifting, say, the bench press, why is it that when someone is seemingly stuck, a slight touch by a spotter will allow the lifter to complete a lift?
Answer:
For me it's a bit psychological. The reminder (slight touch) that I have support by the rested spotter, gives me the extra bit of energy to complete the lift. Also it's the comptetive nature of someone watching me. :)
Because the spotter is rested and strong. It's easy to lift the barbell one time especially when the exerciser is helping you.
The spotter is adding to the forward motion so just the slightest push can make a big change.
