1)With a spotter/partner, some people tend to overload the bar too
much and do partial forced reps.
2)Too heavy a weight which REQUIRES assitance may tear your muscle
fibres instead.
3)Chit-chatting for prolonged periods

rerack it for him when i was sure he would not rep out more than
2.He kept lowering the bar until the 6th rep.WOA it gives my
forearms and traps a greater pump or tightness than deadlifts
