what do u guys do when u dont have a spot?

[b fold the truth]

I lift in my garage, have done that for a year and a half. I love it. Never a spotter. NEVER.

The only time I use a spotter is when I am doing my event training sometimes. It makes a difference when I'm doing the car flip when I know that someone will be there to catch the car before it pins me to the ground.

I usually get a chick 2 spot me, its great motivation and i know ill never crush myself cause my prides at stake infront of the girl.

Im jokin btw. Personally id go for a rack or smith machine but im not sure you can beat a good strong spotter to really grind out those last reps with you

throw smith machine in the trash. it's just that - a machine . it limits your range of motion and gives you less results in my pers exp. I do use it occasionally for blasting my outer quads, but if you use it continuously byebye knees. (my knees were in pain after 2months continous use).

What's up with the guys that say they can't go heavy without a spot? Do you not know your own limits? Or is it a psychological thing of having someone there to catch the bar? If I can't get a spot then I just stop a rep short of failure.
