Solo or Partner and Motivation

[DanielBishop]

I workout alone because I have no friends.

I like the word "spotter" better

I have worked out alone and with a partner. For the past 6 months I have had an awesome training partner and have seen gains that I never would have seen without the motivation given by my training partner....Thanx Glootz

I wouldn't have thought this before but it's definately beneficial to have him there to work out with me. I would even go as far to say that my workouts suck when my partner isn't there to push me. [/B]

Well said!!!

Thank you COD. I too have benefitted from your motivation and inspiration,

definitely no workout partner wanted!!! Whenever someone gets me to workout with them they always want to do different exercises that i really don't like. That shit always pisses me off. Also every time i do more weight than them on some exercise they feel like they have to start making excuses (ex. i am going light today). They don't realize i could care less what their excuse is. Then if they do more weight than me, then they feel like they should start giving me pointers.

Screw that!

Funny, I had workout partner for a while and he always complained that I "too intense" while I was working out. What the hell isn't that the point? Needless to say he doesn't even show up at the gym anymore.

I have been going to this gym long enough to know who can give a good spot and who can't, a good spot is all I need.

I have a workout partner when our schedules allow us to workout together. I love hitting the gym with him because he yells at me and gets me pumped. Hes also one of the few people at my gym that I trust to spot me. He knows exactly when to touch the weights and when not to.

i rather train alone, 'cause i don't compromise on what i wanna do any given workout, i like to do my thing. if someone wants to follow my lead, i enjoy training with someone too.
