Training partner..Yes? No?

Re: Training partner..Yes? No?

I've trained alone for ages now. A good solid workout partner is a great way to push yourself....but as u all said I find it hard to find someone who isn't flaky or they wanna bullshit more then train. I also usually don't like the extra down time u have with a partner. I prefer to make the most of my hour and be done.

When I get into benching I'll grab a spotter.

Solo for me!

Yeah I hate the "hard look" as well lol. I usually do my thing and keep to myself.
I used to have a training partner but he wasn't very motivated. Whenever something got hard he would just complain about everything. Had to go solo after that.
Benefits for me was someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of.

I let my cousin workout with me sometimes or just use my equipment if our scedules arent right. It nice to have a spotter on bench for me bc of my messed up hand/shoulder, but on really intense days i prefer to be alone, bc the partner just slows me down and i rest too much. Besides th fact I use training as a kind of therapy. Its my only thing I do only just for me.

Exactly my thoughts too animal. The gym is always my time!

Re: Training partner..Yes? No?

I like alone some times and with a partner on other times. I have found a partner forces me to be honest...to try harder...and to actually go to the gym if I do not feel like it.

Re: Training partner..Yes? No?

I used to have a guy at the gym that I was friendly with, we used to train legs together once in awhile and we both seemed to motivate each other.....for the most part though I train by myself

when I was doing dc training, sometimes I wish I had someone there though just in case
