Who here works out with a partner?

[LiftHardOrDontLiftAtAll]

I was just wondering because I find I lack motivation to get my ass in the gym a lot of the time. Problem is I can't find anyone motivated enough to go with me. Guess I will just have to tough it out and find other ways to stay motivated. Anyone else have this problem?

myself...

Pros:
in and out quickly
focus
I hate people, so it's a good thing
my own pace
I look like a tough-guy-loner-type-dude

Cons:
no spotter for forced and negative, so it's tuff sometimes. I feel my shoulders and chest are sufferring due to this con.

Note: I don't even like to ask anyone to spot now and again, in fear that they will try to be my buddy and start bullshitting when they see me.
I am very anti-social a the gym, I don't care to chat with anyone.

Rare occassion an old training partner and I train, but we are both married with kids and professions, so scheduling that is dicey.

with a partner 3 days, alone 2 days

Big groups with a partner...........forced reps are a must

you end up chatting too much... best to ask for spots from regs at the gym......... imho

I wouldnt have it any other way.
I get done in an hour what it takes partners to do in 3.

BTW- get an mp3 player. turn it up loud. you have the whole gym to yourself.

I think any serious lifter who is not an expert should have a trainer to minimize injury chance
