Hey /fit/, gym newbie here. I started working out about a month ago and things are going okay, except my friend that went with me has to stop going for work reasons. I now no longer have a spotter. I'm too much of a pussy to do bench press without a spotter, is it safe?

TL;DR Are spotters required?

after one month you will definetly be not lifting ultra heavy that you need spotter for, or just do benchpres with dumbels those are even better for beginner
>>
>>34871238
I prefer barbell, its easier for me to handle. And yeah I'm not a heavy lifter
>>
>>34871204
I've never had a spotter, ever. just be careful. don't put clamps on that way you can dump the weights off on one side and then the other if you ever need to. I've only had to do it once in about 10 months.

Just do db press if you're frightened.
>>
>>34871267
This. I do db press whenever I don't feel like setting up a bench. It's also more comfortable for me and I like the idea of practicing control as well
>>
>>34871267
Always feel like I get more out of dumbbell presh
>>
>>34871204
ask some random at the gym to spot you. 95% of time they say yes

I'm too autistic to even make eyecontact brah

Just come at people hard. Worst case scenario the entire universe implodes.
