My wife spotted me for a while -poorly. Wouldn't advise it - however, if it's someone you are eager to impress then the show off effect can be a blessing by helping you push through plateaus. Or it can help you drop a weight that's far too heavy on yourself and look a penis.

last year i saw a guy n girl training together, one time all 3 of us were workin in together on a bench and the girl was benching like 50kg x 10 whereas the guy was struggling with 40kgs... i wonder how he felt!
On a more personal note I had my older sister spot me a few years back at home while doin bench...was doing 80kgs for a few reps until i needed a spot...lets just say the amount of spot from my sister was insufficient coz the weight ended up on my chest n my sister started panicking and got all scared so she lifted one side of the bar up so that all the weights on the other side fell off - which was a smart enough thing to do in the situation... but after that she told me she'd never spot me ever again

My girlfriend spots me on a flat bench. She gives me head and then when i stop repping she stops... its good motivation.
but seriously Im probably 5-10 percent stronger when being spotted by a girl. I dont know if its test levels being spiked, me trying to impress or me not wanting to hurt the girl spotting me it just always spikes me through a new plateua.
