Training Partner

Sounds... Good I think I will

At my gym there's a bulletin board where people will stick up a note saying they are looking for a w/o partner with some description of what they're looking for and their phone #. Maybe your gym has something similar...if not, you could suggest it.

My gym is quite small, I doubt if there are any women that would want to workout in the same way. At least I know there are none who workout like me now (I know, because the gym owner told me). And men .. Oh well, I feel they don't even want to take advise of me, let alone ask me as a spotter (other way around is no problem, but of course I couldn't give them just those 5 kg they need, when they're benching and can't get the weight up anymore ??? ), so working out together with them won't be possible.

Anyway, I am going to write an article and a website on lifting for women (mostly geared toward weight (mmm, well, fat) loss, because most women are interested in that), so that might get some women over there enthousiastic (I'll promote it at the gym). So who knows ....

It just happens that you find a good training partner, usually ones i have end up complaining i'm too sore or end up throwing up. In my area there are not to may people,that train with intensity I do especially when i'm in contest phase and just have that "get the fuc out of my way" glare. even though i'm the nicest guy on the planet I some times have to be a dick in the gym when i'm working out. After back its back to earth again. Once in that zone there is no stopping me and i will tell people what is really on my mind when i am in that zone !! That mind frame start now I need to train smarter and more intese then ever if i need to accomplish my goals for this year !!

I used to workout with my hubby, but it gets too distracting and he's beyond me in terms of strength - I can't spot him. Now he only comes with me to the gym to critique my workouts and to motivate me.

I'm shy, too, and I like to workout by myself so having a workout partner is not on my agenda right now...My workout hours are not consistent (due to my kid's schedules) and I do much better on my own, too.

I wish I could find a training partner in Atlanta. I prefer to train alone most of the time, but on leg day it would be real helpful.

My gf and i train together. She is really hardcore and we make a perfect match. We push each other when we need to and leave each other alone at other times. Couldnt be better. I have trained alone plenty of times as well, and that has benefits too(faster pace).-WULF
