Do you guys perfer Lifting on your own or with a partner?

[scout420]

Ya I like to lift on my own, and some people say shit to me about it. Take this guy I work with, he also goes to the same gym as me he's alway like, will go to the gym today and I'm always like nah because I just like it better on my own. But I was just curious about how you guys work out i mean I'm sure i'm not the only one that perfers to just be on his own while working out.

Well, obviously both has it's advantages. I like a partner for spotting and usually it's friends so I get to see them.

Overall I prefer working out by myself. I can go at my own pace (which changes constantly) I can stay focused and not get into talking about stuff non-workout related. Plus, occasionally I listen to music while working out. I can't do that if I have a partner.

both

Man I love my workout partner, he fuckin' makes me work all the time, sometimes I don't get the same pump by myself. Another thing is that my workout partner is really knowledgeble so I can rely on him to put some mass on me and tell if I am squating fucked up or making sure my shoulders are back on shrugs and shit like that really helps. He helps me out on the little things and those are the most important aspects of lifting weights, I always want to learn something new everyday in the gym. I have told people that are doing fucked up excercises to do them right and they look at me like I think I am a know it all......all I am trying to do is help a brotha out you know, well fuck them.

On the other hand I love to workout by myself too because it motivates me and I got to push myself cause your partner isn't going to be there all the time so and I love Jamming to some Rob Zombie cause my gym be playin some bullshit "dentist music" ha ha

None of my friends are even 3% as dedicated as I am. They all prefer to drink.

My partner is the Rio 600 mp3 player.

I would prefer a partner but it's hard to find someone who has the same intensity and dedication......

I would rather have a partner even though it takes twice as long because I can't stop making smart ass remarks. It's so much more fun though. I enjoy whispering into my partner's ear while he is mid-set:

"You can't do it. You're not good enough. Stop trying."
"You gotta believe. Believe in yourself. C'mon dammit, I don't feel the self-belief I should be feeling right now. BELIEVE."
"That has got to be the tightest ass I have ever seen. Check that shit out. You're missing it dude. Oh, too late."
"I just farted. Can you smell that?"

worked out on my own until last month..now I have yaxeni oriquen as my partner(ms international overall winner)..no I know what I was missing all these years

I like listening to music while working out so I've got my music blaring through my headphones...going at my own pace is good too...The only time I really liked having partners was when I was powerlifting in the offseason...

 

[str8cubano]

i lift alone, but a partner only when he has the same routine as me...sometiems partners slow me down

 

[Parabellum]

I always work out alone and it sucks. I can never get a decent spotter, I would love to have a buddy to workout with, everyone too far away and noone knows what the hell exercise's I do at my gym.

Everyone is into something different and what they do is always teh superior method...... blah, blah , blah.......
