Lifting alone can have its benefits and obvious drawbacks, such as underestimating your self from time to time. You need to be totally positive and KNOW you will own the fucking weight when you do it. Otherwise you will fail every time.
I lift "almost" alone with my only partner being my power rack. I am, however, about 1-1/2 hours from southside gym (billy mimnaugh, vinny dizenzo, ron dayton among others lift there) and would like to make the trip some day.
i lift alone all the tim ei have a certain time of day that i feel rested and ready to do it and no one else wants 2 wrk out so i do it by myself wit the music blaring and just push it out!!!
