[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 458108, member: 546465"] Not necessarilly true. I've had spotters that nearly cause you to injure yourself and spotters that help so much that it is pointless in lifting the weight. I remember doing dumbell bench one time and I told the spotter I needed help up on the first one (this is always the hardest rep on dumbell bench) then I start pushing up and the guy doesn't help at all nearly injured myself getting the dumbells up by myself and I expended so much energy that it recked my set. Then you have spotters that are busy looking around the room forget they are spotting you and you nearly hurt yourself. Then I've had guys you tell them okay I need help up on the first rep and that's it and then they help you up on the first like you asked and then they keep spotting and helping you push it up on every rep which makes the whole set useless. I've even pushed the weight up fast to show them that I can do it on my own but they didn't get the message. I'd say there are few good spotters out there. [/QUOTE]
