Spotting is for more than safety. What other roles does a spotter have?

Safety: If you’ve upped your load and can’t complete your last reps the spotter can relieve you from the weight.

Motivation: Having someone to train with means you can cheer each other on and challenge yourselves to beat one another.

Confidence: A spotter can give you the confidence and be the safety net you need to try a new exercise, increase the weight or do a few extra reps.

Improvement: A spotter can tell you if you are doing an exercise incorrectly or if you’re losing your form while lifting. This is a great way to perfect your technique and avoid possible injuries.

Increase workload: Having a spotter gives the lifter a placebo effect – by the spotter simply touching the underneath of a weight, even if only with one finger, it tricks the trainer into thinking they have some assistance and makes the lift feel lighter and easier, if only mentally. This allows them to complete increased reps and weights that they normally wouldn’t have been able to do if training alone.
