Medical - Sports / Fitness / Recreation | | English term or phrase: spot | | The sentence is: When spotting the deadlift exercise, a trainer should spot from the___. It's about training exercise, and I don't know what "spotting", "spot" here mean. Does this mean holding or supporting? Thank you in advance. |
