Disgusting…
Picture it….
You just started your workout…10 minute warm-up on the elliptical to get the heart pumping…bench press up first…starting heavy…you’re focused, mentally pumped…you pound out 5 reps…next one’s a little hard, but your hubby (or buddy or whatever) is spotting you so it’s ok…you bring the bar down for the 7th one when you feel it…it breaks your concentration a little, but you can get past it, overlook it, continue on, your mind is stronger than that….after all, it’s your husband (or buddy or whatever)…
On to rep number 8…bar down to your chest…you’re struggling to bring it up…hubby (or buddy or whatever) leans over just a tad to spot and you feel it again…sliding off your spotter’s sweat-drenched face, it lands on YOUR face, just missing your mouth by a mere fraction of an inch…
Two drops of someone else’s sweat on my face…I don’t know about you, but I was done…no way I’m gonna endure 4 more drops of sweat just to make twelve reps…husband or not, it was disgusting!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww hehehehe Working out can be dirty. I work out in a garage and last time I left I was filthy. I kinda like it in a weird way. However if someone was dripping on me I might tell them to get a towel. =)

Ewwwwwww!!! LOL!!! You’re too funny! There’s only one activity where I’d let a guy lean over me and drip his sweat on my face…….and it ain’t spotting me while I’m bench pressing

Recently I had a gym friend ask to borrow my sweat towell…we were side by side on treadmills, drenched in sweat…I said "No way!" And, it made her mad! She still won’t speak!
Sweat is not my idea of sharing body fluids! lol

Yep, thats ugly.
I’ve been guilty of the same thing however.
If I’m spotting after some heavy sweating, I usually wipe my face first, but sometimes I slip up.
I agree, its tough to make an all out effort when your just waiting for another drip to hit your head.

LOL!!! Yeah, that is bad!!! That has happened to me too .. I used to workout with a friend of mine and he would sweat so bad you’d think he just stepped out of the shower! he was spotting me for reps of 4, and I had 325 lbs. on the bar … right in the middle of my third rep a drop of his sweat lands on my nose!!!! OMG!!!! Totally lost my concentration and almost ended up with the weight around my neck!!! GROSS!!!
