I'm talking about when they are at full exertion and are half way up and can't finish it. Neither of us like having to use a spotter to complete the set but sometimes it needed.
Does that sort of clarify the context?
I specifically want to know if you think that spotting is mind over matter, not really to do with the legitimacy of the set or weight range.
I don't use spotters. That's why safety pins were invented.
If you want to go past the point if failure then Pre exhaust the muscle.
Frustratingly my gym is setup in such a way that it's almost impossible to setup a flat bench in a power rack. (a) blocks the main walkway, (b) is a slight decline as there is a high rubber mat outside the racks.
I've always found it mystifying that gym bench presses don't have safety bars as a matter of course given the risk factor.
I find that having a spotter there (who does not touch the bar obviously) can give me to confidence to hit a max effort or personal best set (desire to avoid the shame of missing a rep).
