I've never like having a workout partner, you spend more itme waiting for them to get to the gym or having to miss or conform to each others schedule. It's just too much of a pain in the ass for me. If oyu have the desire, you will push yourself. I know enough people in my gym that when I get to the point where I need to really push out a couple more reps. I just get someone to spot me. It is nice to have a workout partner but, unless you work with them on the same hours & are single, it's hard as hell to stay on schedule. Besides, I've yet to have one that was anywhere near as dedicated as I am.
