Do you train with a partner or alone??

[SuKY_GeNeTiCs]

I train alone so I just imagine someone is there watching me to lift more intensely. Does having someone help you out

I go to the gym alone but always ask for a spot when doing heavy weight. I don't really like spending more time in the gym than I need too - partners usually double my workout time. Although - I get more competitive when lifting with friends.

Alone. Get a spot from someone close when things get really heavy. otherwise I am alone.

I train alone - ALWAYS...I don't even ever ask for a spot because most guys can't do it right.

I train alone, but I always ask for a spot when needed. I don't see any other reason to have someone else there. Unless you have alot of time to waste or are trying to help a friend get motivated. I also hate it when a I need a machine and there's 2 or more people on it wasting time and bullshittin

For the reasons already stated... usually alone.

I will tell you... working out is not the fun part of "getting there". I want to get in and get out in optimal time.

My best friend owns a gym across town and I do workout there with him some nights, for a change of pace, however. And I do tend to think I"m more competitive and i go heavier. But, my pace is not nearly as good standing around talking to them, waiting for my reps, etc..

damn, i can't believe how many of you train alone, and think it's better!

i guess to each his own...


I won't hit a cycle unless i have someone to train with on the regular. I need someone there to push me more then i push myself as well as be able to spot me for almost every lift i do. It's hard to goto failure on each exercise without a spot there just in case.

Currently im training alone, and not only do i get less of a work out, it's fucking boring as hell.

It's good to have someone to work-out with as long as thier not stopping to look at women (for too long) . I worked out with a person when I need them but most of the time it's alone. It's good if the person pushes you to your limits but no further.

dork - when lifting alone you should try listening to your walkman - put in some music that makes you wanna kill people - you will push yourself.

I train alone right now, its a major pain in the ass to have a partner since I work nights, I have only found 2-3 people who work out just as hard wih the same devotion... I help some friends now but they get lazy and want to talk too mcuh and complain cause the excercises I do are hard. That's what I get for doing front squats, claen and jerks, deads and strict form with all lifts. Always have a spotter when i go heavy
