D) Poor technique because the spotter should have their hands underneath the bar Please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strongest position for the spotter is with your arms pinned under the lifter's arms, and your forearms with their lats. As they lift off and get into place, you move back with them and wait in place. Just as you don't touch the court while the bench press, don't touch the lifter while the squat. A spotter is a character who holds a trainer while weight lifting. Their role is to be there for the coach should anything go obverse or help them if they can't perform a lift, in turn providing them the courage to lift more than they usually would.
