Each Houseboy undergoes a personal fitness evaluation and is assigned exercise and fitness activities that are consistent with his needs, physical abilities, age, and mutual goals with Master. Some Houseboys are assigned one or more types of weightlifting and others are not, but every Houseboy has access to weights for recreational lifting either at home or at Master’s friend’s, or at a nearby gym.
No Houseboy is permitted to engage in bench pressing barbells without a spotter, regardless of circumstance. When a spotter is not assigned by Master or readily available, the Houseboy is required to ask Master or another responsible person to spot. The favor must be returned if the spotter also wishes to lift.
Nothing in this rule excuses the Houseboy from required nudity at home or at any location where nudity is permitted, and nothing in this rule requires nudity where it is not legal or traditional. At private residences where the Houseboy is accompanied by Master, the determination of dress code is always the decision of the homeowner or renter. Both the Houseboy and spotter must keep horseplay to a minimum at all times and circumstances.
In the example photo, the Houseboy appears to be momentarily distracted by his spotter, who accidentally brushes his shorts up against the Houseboy’s face while reaching to assist in securing the weights. Both parties should be careful to minimize future distractions to avoid injury or damage to property. Violations by the Houseboy may be punished up to a Level Two Spanking (Rule #70) for not heeding safety protocols, even if the spotter is equally responsible for the violation. A spotter who is primarily responsible for safety violations may be prohibited from spotting again if Master is not satisfied that the spotter is able and responsible to do so. A spotter is not required when the Houseboy is lifting fixed weight dumbbells (Rule #51).
