Disadvantages of working out with people

[FGriors]

I work out with a three or four Man Group and I know it has some advantages because we keep each other honest and motivated. But something that's been bothering me is that lately we go in there and everyone is trying to do one rep Maxes just to show up each other. I just want to get in a good workout do you think that it's best just to work out solo and dump my group

absolutely it is good to work out solo with weight training

crossfit style training or endurance training it is better to workout in a group, or get a GPS watch that will beep at you to push you

if you train with people you got a spotter which is always good and makes you push harder in front of them
the bad part is the talking and other problems that come about

In a word - yes. 1RM too often = injuries

You train for yourself, so it makes no difference with whom you train or not

Depends on individuals....

I’m all about training alone. I find if I train with other people a lot of talking happens and a lot of time is wasted.

I prefer training alone.
