Who Trains With A Partner?

[Tarheel]

I like to, but often it seems like they are always too busy to go lift weights

So by default I usually train alone. Its just hard for me to get motivated sometimes when I dont have a partner.

I do, but if I have to train alone I'm not less motivated.

 

[JDarty6173]

Yeah its definitly a motivation thing for me... I need to have someone pushing me harder and harder past what i would normally do alone....

 

[RipDsel]

i enjoy training alone while listening to music, when i lift w/ a partner i feel rushed for some reason, the only thing that sucks is finding someone i trust to spot me

I train alone.....that makes all my hobbies a one man job!

I dont need anyone to train. I hate training with other people....espc if i have a different goal. i dont feed off other peoples energy. I feel the opposite. I dont like talking when i train.

all you need is goals....goals (both short and long) become motivation

I do, he's a friend of mine, and it's a total pain in the ass. He just decides to miss workouts because he got too drunk the night before, or is "too sore," or some other excuse. Really sucks on Sunday mornings when I'm trying to bench and there isn't anyone else in the gym to ask for a spot..

Oh, and he insists on using the same weight as me, on every lift, almost no matter what. He weighs almost twice what I do.

I don't even know where I'd begin finding a new partner.

Training partners are only good for one thing - spotting.

Other than that I prefer to train alone, its just more flexible, and its hard to get someone who is on the same page as you are training, strength and mental wise

same with me most of the ppl i train with want to just get big or they dont want to do all the good fun stuff to get where they want to be (cleans, snatch, squats)

so i just train by my self

for me, alone at home. it has its advantages but also its disadvantages, for example; no spotter, no-one to check my form, etcetera etcetera. but i can listen to my own music, work in my own tempo, etcetera.

I have 3 or 4 buddies who train at my gym..
I generally work out with at least one of them... however I have absolutely no problem working out by myself.
Thanks

I'm more or less of a solo kinda guy... I've tried training with a partner, and have yet to find one that is able to fit my schedule, and is reliable... so I just go alone... I ask one of the guys in the gym to spot me if I need it... other then that, I prefer training alone... I go into my own little world... and it's just me, and the weights... it's great...

 

[Lord_Suston]

Training with my brothers has to be the best, since they are always willing to lift and are great spotters ( just barely touching the bar to the point where the bar moves so slow it feels like forever), plus about 95% of the time they are lifting the same bodyparts or are willing to switch a little....

 

[supersizeme]

i train with a small gang of clowns. it's convenient because we all ride down to the gym together in a light green volkswagon beetle and then hit the weights.

 

[Thaibox]

I got lucky and found a couple good dudes to lift with that are both very motivated, and have proven themselves to be dedicated to the game in and out of the gym.

Clowns scare me

 

[b fold the truth]

My training partners always keep me laughing. I also like to watch them train...it motivates me a lot!!!!
