Hi! I currently live in Toronto. I am currently doing Stronglifts 5x5 and I am wondering if anyone is in the area and is doing the same thing and would like to be each other's spotters.

Thanks!
Jie

    I don't think it is wise to post on a public forum which gym you go to.

    Also, please be careful who you meet from the internet.

    I'll spot you

    I like to give little smacks with every squat, my Lea use to do that for me *pours one out for her*

    I also like to give tummy tickles while you bench, is that okay?

    This is just pathetic....I am actually trying to find a spotter that is doing the same program as no one at my gym is doing the 5x5. All I get are stupid answers that is a waste of time.

    Stronglifts can, and is intended, to be done without a spotter.

    Didn't adini helped you not gain a stalker or something even more dangerous? How is that not helpful...?

    As for doing it with someone, I have been doing SL for more than 20 weeks and I don't do it with anyone who's also doing it. I ask for a spot for bench press which I'm sure you don't need to be a part of SL to do. Just ask anyone in the gym to spot you. Make sure to tell them not to lift the weight for you but just watch out and help you grab it if it starts falling or you ask for help.

    I only had a spotter when I was starting out because he was helping me with form. Now I do it all by myself, no spotter at all. I bench in the squat racks.
