TweetJust tell him nice that your not there to chit chat and you just want to hit it hard and go home!

Tweetif your gonna use a partner you need to be very evenly matched with the same goals. When that happens great things can take place. When those aren't in line i would rather workout by myself which is what i do since i lost the one and only workout partner i have ever had or trusted when i moved

ya man having the same intensity would help, but im just a solo type personality.

TweetI love having one keeps me motivated and I seem to not want to skip steps or shorten my workout. But my constantly changing schedule usually messes that up for me.

Tweetnot me......there's always someone who will spot. i cant find anyone i'd want to workout with and i'm always under time constraints so i can fuk around

TweetYears back, before I had kids, I had a partner. After a while with a partner I started to rely on him too much and, when he couldn't make a session, my workouts suffered. Best thing to happen was when we broke up. Yes, to this guy, it was like we were breaking up as a couple. When i had kids, my training scheduled moved to as early in the day as possible as opposed to evenings. This way and after work, I go home and spend time with the family.

TweetHaving a workout partner sucks. When it comes time to stop or change, people get their feelings hurt. Screw that. Train alone.

TweetI've burned through a lot of workout partners over the years. I tend to stay solo now. I get some of my greatest workouts by myself.
