A.
an overhead press
B.
a dead lift
C.
a squat
D.
a bench press
This is most likely a spotter for a squat. The key word that shows that this spotter is for a squatter is making sure the lifter does not fall backwards. An overhead press or bench press would require a lifter to be lying down and not standing. A dead lift requires leaning forward and would not cause a lifter to fall backwards.
