Ok, thats it Im going to kill him....
Awhile back I posted a note on this supposed partner of mine and how the little pencil neck does more work staying out of the gym than he does in it.
Well this takes the cake. Ok for starters the dude is weighing in a hefty 145lbs and refuses to use supps cause they "are unatural" yeah go fucking figure.
Anyhow, aside from the fact that he bails on me all the time and swears that Subway subs are a great source of protein...this is what happened after I explained to him that I was going to juice for the first time.
Well first off he laughed a nice skinny ass moronic laugh and proceeded to school me on the side effects of juice...blah..blah..blah...
He then proceeded to tell me if that if anyone asks me at work if I juice and I deny it he will laugh and say "yeah right" at this point I had to remind him that not only do I outweigh him by 70lbs but Im also his submission trainer, and that I would do serious bodily harm to him. I dont care that people know..but it could get me fired.
Ok now keep in mind that this is the kind of guy that comes to the gym late, and does about 3 sets of something or other, and constantly has to be called over for a spot right when Im about to drop shit on my head..not to mention he has a hard time spotting me.
So mon. he comes into work and throws me a protein bar....or so I thought..
It was an herbalife protein bar..."all natural" a whopping 10g of protein 40g of carbs and 30g of sugar...yeah..nice bar..at 140cal.
He then shows me all these herbal pills that he is taking for bulking, as he is now going to start selling this stuff for the comp. Well I ask him "what is in all those pills that will help you bulk?" His reply..."uh Im not sure??" Ok show of hands??? Who wants to put a buch of shit into their body and have absolutely no clue what is does??? The only ingredient I recognized was aminogen. He then told me how proud he was that hes doing it "all naturally"...I could have broke his neck right there...restrain P...restrain....
So Ive pretty much said fuck em' and am now flying solo...unless that is there is a bro in the southern OH area that likes to trash gyms the same way I do....yeah I didnt think so....I swear though if this guy gets me in the least bit of trouble.....its not my fault if he runs right square into a left hook....not my fault at all.
Well I feel better....
Whew...thanx for letting me get that off my chest Bros..
Later,
WCP
PS, I swear to God this must be Adams cousin...

I usually lift alone. My dad has a sort of home gym in the basement. Free weight bench, cable machine,dumbells,barbells,chin bar.etc. The best part is my mom feeds me all the food I can consume and usually a meal to take home. I love mom!

I prefer solo, it allows me to concentrate more and besides that, every partner I've ever had spends more time asking questions, complaining, or talking about some chick in the gym then they do lifting....dont get me wrong, its nice to see a good lookin chick in some tight spandex, but when I'm in the ironroom its war time and I'm fighting to win.

Haven't been there yet bro. I have three workout partners and they are all as serious and as focussed as I am. I'm just lucky in that respect. Of course two of them are employees of mine, one of which not only looks harder but is considerably stronger,(Eric) and the other of which is smaller and weaker.(Robert) Personally, I prefer to have Eric spot me as he can spot the 80 & 90 lb dumbbells much better and i feel safer and push harder. Sure they are probably just trying to suck up, but what the hell, better to have a young muscular looking construction crew, than a couple of hairy, fat, ass crack showing workers right? Ha Ha Ha

Ranger i like that mentality, that's exactly the way i am. I can't stand partners, they're always late, to tired, they don't feel like it today, or they don't pay attention, wait to long between sets, have no motivation, so i say fuck em.

Who ever is in the gym and closet to me just became my spotter.

I love training by myself. I seem to be more focused. Besides you don't have to put up with the bullshit that comes from training with partners that don't take it as seriously as you do.
In conclusion.. fuk'em

WCP, sounds like it's time to pull this guy's eject lever.

No, I guess that's too simplistic. You work with the guy, and he has something he can use against you, right? Sort of like being blackmailed in an abusive relationship.

Man I know where you are coming from. The guy I lift with thinks you should stay with the same weight and never move up,"cause it hurts." Then when I do pile they weight on he whines like a little bitch. So I tell him listen fuck face the damn weight comes off as easy as it goes on, so shut your face or you are going to look funny trying to lift with your eyes all swelled shut.
CAn I hear a HELL YEA. LOL
