Do you train with a partner or alone??

I had a training partner for 2 years until he finally got a chick and dropped me like a cheap hore!

I train with a partner. I don't condone much talking-try to stay real intense. Its good when you have a spot that is done right, so you can give it your all every set. When I ask random people to spot they always end up f-ing me up.
Training alone is good but when you have competition and a good spot you get more out of your workout.

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.

exactly! I could not work with a partner because I like my MP3 player too much! The music gets you pumped!

I normally train alone but last night I trained with my buddy who is extreemly strong and pushed me harder than I would have pushed myself. Like when we were doing dips, I added a 45 pound plate around my waist and then we kind of tried to out rep each other. Same went on flat bench dumbells. He put up more weight last night than ever before because I had him pushing me. To bad he lives to far away. I would love to have a training partner but it is hard to find someone who trains like me and pushes themselves are hard as I do. I tried before with other people and they always quit by the end of the work out so for now I train alone.

ALONE

Alone... i have no time for other people and their bullshit when it comes to lifting....

Well I thought I was in the minority training alone but apparently not! I don't have any problem lifting intensly and feel that real concentration comes from within and needs no "partner" for encouragement. Although spots are helpful!

I lift with a partner whenever I can but its near impossible finding someone willing to go at the same time and stick with it. So most of the time I go alone

I train alone now. Fast and Furious. Me against the Iron.

Training with the right partner can sure help. Nothing like a good consistent spot and someone who is a motivator. My training best training partner was lost to injury
