    Weight Room Rules

    General

    The number one concern in the weight room is SAFETY.

    Enter the weight room mentally and physically ready to work.

    Proper attire must be worn while lifting.

    There will be no SPITTING in the weight room.

    There is absolutely no horseplay allowed in the weight room.

    Return all weights to their proper storage area after use.

    Be aware of other lifters whom you are around.

    Always use common sense.  If you see potential danger, please report it.

     

    Technique

    Always wear a weight belt in all core lifts or when your lower back is stressed.

    Breathe in and out on each repetition.

    Never bounce, jerk the weight, or arch your back while lifting.

    Only use the amount of weight you are prepared to lift properly.

    Never attempt “one rep max” that you have not trained for.

     

    Free Weights

    Use collars on all Olympic bars.

    Do not drop or throw weights on the floor.

    Unload bars (evenly) when you are finished with them.

    Use a spotter with core and overhead lifts.

    Never get under the bar without a spotter.

    When two or more weights equal one weight, change to that higher plate.

     

    Spotters

    Spotters must always have their full attention on the lifter.

    Be in the ready position to help or free the lifter at any time.

    Do not allow the bar to tilt as the lifter performs the exercise.

    Use an over/under grip when spotting the bench press.

    Help guide the bar on and off the rack.

    Always know how many reps the lifter will be performing (communicate)

     

    Weight Room Etiquette

    No sitting allowed (except while performing certain lifts).

    Always be ready to help and encourage anyone who may need help.

    Socializing should be done outside the weight room.
