Definition
To stand behind someone lifting heavy weight and provide safety assistance, which mostly involves standing there awkwardly until that critical moment when you become the only thing between them and a crushed ribcage. It's trust-building via potential catastrophe.
Example Usage
"He asked a random stranger to spot him on bench press, which is the gym equivalent of asking someone you just met to hold your life in their hands while you lie down."
