Exercise and Fitness — Use Of Spotter While Bench Pressing
Each House Boy 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 House Boys are assigned one or more types of weightlifting and others are not, but every House Boy has access to weights for recreational lifting either at home or at Master’s friend’s, or at a nearby gym.
No House Boy is permitted to engage in bench pressing barbells or without a spotter, regardless of circumstance. When a spotter is not assigned by Master or readily available, the House Boy is required to ask a responsible person to spot for him. The favor must be returned if the spotter also wishes to lift.
Nothing in this rule excuses the House Boy 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 House Boy is accompanied by Master, the determination of dress code is always the decision of the homeowner or renter. Both the House Boy and spotter must keep horseplay to a minimum at all times and circumstances.
In the example photo, the House Boy appears to be momentarily distracted by his spotter, who accidentally brushes his shorts up against the House Boy’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 House Boy may be punished up to a Level Two Spanking 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 House Boy is lifting fixed weight dumbbells (Rule #51).
