A training partner is better than a trainer imo, because the competition thing adds in as well (or at least the pride in personal bests help alot)

if you can't lift that weight for the first rep you shouldn't even be trying it, before moving up a weight you need to do lower weight at least 7-8 times CLEAN.... and no you don't need a spotter (sure it'll be better with a spotter that knows how to spot), overtime you get used to it, not to mention people usually don't know how to spot anyways (by helping way too much)
