    It will be extremely difficult to find someone on here who is in your area and available to workout at the same time as you. I second the suggestion to hire a trainer. If that's not possible then there are really only a few lifts that a spotter might be necessary for. On those you can use dumbbells instead of a barbell.

    Does someone have to be stronger than you to spot you?

    How many fitness partners have you gone through that you are turning to finding a stranger on the internet to spot you?

    I can't tell if you're serious or trolling or humblebragging but maybe if you included a location, you might have better luck? Or are we supposed to guess where you live? CRAP I'VE TAKEN THE BAIT

    It was one of the requirements on her list.

    It's still not necessary to spot someone. If I fail a bench press rep I don't need Hafthór Björnsson to lift up the bar for me. My girlfriend who hasn't touched a weight in probably a decade would be able to help me rerack the weight.

    I'm sure Deevaa is well aware of that.
