Working out alone

[jstrong20]

I also work out alone and besides knowing I will get crushed if I don't lilft the weight gives me alot more incentive than some dude screaming in my face "come on man it's all you"

I workout alone because its a job for me, and to get it right you need to stay focused. It might take me longer but thats a small price. All I have is time, I feel its a life long project.

I work out alone. I plug myself into my MD walkman and I'm good to go. 100% focus, only peek up to check out a honey in her lycra.

I've noticed guys training at my gym together spend more time talking than they do lifiting. I'd hate to have a lifting partner who wanted to chat about this and that. Just shut up and lift I'd tell him. Which may come across rude. Maybe that's why I got no training partner....!

I work out at home, alone. I prefer it that way. Mostly for a lot of the same reasons that have already been mentioned. I do, however, miss out on getting those last couple reps past failure. For now, I lift until I know that was the last rep. If I happen to push it beyond, and get stuck, usually twisting, turning and arching gets it back to the rack. I just don't count that as a rep.

Mainly, I do dumbelss when I bench, and Smith Machine after that. Hammer Strength machines are great. I've been training alone for as long as I can think of. Sometimes need a spotter when I DB military press.

I've had training partners they talk too much, that is one reason you see alot guys at the gym for 3 hours. I have trainer but he only comes to check up on me twice a week. I hate put that talk your ear out when you are trying to train. If i need a spot for any excersise i find the dorkiest looking guy in the gym that might be intimidated by me ask him for a spot, that way after he spots me he goes about his business.

I never workout with a partner. I get a better workout alone. If I'm going heavy and need a spot I'll ask someone, or do it on the smith machine or hammer strength.

I have a gym slave just like the pro bodybuilders. He can train with me if he picks up my weights and hands me the weights and spots me.

Working out alone removes unneeded rest between sets, bullshit socialization, and allows for a better focus. Plus, no one in my gym can keep up with my routine or the weight I use. I had a partner for the first three years I worked out - since then, d-bells, smith machines and hack squats have done the trick.

The only thing guys who workout alone have to worry about is those guys that think that you are the bigest guy in the world and want to interupt you all the time. with stupid questions and to spot them Bench Press 40lb Dumbells. or the exact opposite the idoit that can bench press 250lb and tries to do 315lb. with your help of course.
