Anybody ever spot for a meet? Getting 100 bucks to spot for the day up the road, just to get my feet wet.

Any tips?

Wow, I'm surprised none of the lifters asked for another spotter. This is insane.

No way I would be comfortable pushing myself beyond what I knew I could handle if I had a spotter that small. I understand that its probable hard to find volunteers for smaller events like that, but no reason to settle for someone who can't handle their portion of the weight.

That was an IPF meet, I don't think it was a small meet.
