    no way is it an annoyance. just remember to return the favor if they see you another time in the gym and ask for a spot.

    i've found most people are glad to help with spots. i usually ask for them with my bench press on the last set because i have no idea how my right shoulder will act

    Thanks to my rotator cuff injury I have been slowly to gain back my old Bench press. I'm not in the gym to impress really but I really miss it :(.

    When I'm doing squats at the gym I like to have someone spot me. Usually I get a gym manager to do it, but he's not always available. If I interrupted your workout to ask for a spot, would that bother you?

    No, not at all. Although it might be a little uncomfortable spotting a woman because you have to get kinda close if you actually do have to move in for the spot. LOL

    No shoulder problems but the bench is the most dangerous lift to fail on. My last set is the one I always get a spot on!

    I don't think anyone would be annoyed. The only reason I might say no is if I was at the end of my workout and completely drained. I think at that point I would be of very little help in the event you did need help haha!
