   I train alone.....ya ya with nobody else...you know when I train alone...I prefer to lift by myself.... Oh...thats not the right words to that song...or are they? Not a very informative post but I thought I'd spout my opinion about why I will not train with others. My general complaints are this: No, I don't want to do your excersise, I'm bigger than you. No, I don't want to wait until later to train today, I'm bigger than you. No, I don't want your friend to work in with us, I'm bigger than both of you. Nope, don't want to take another day off, this is why I'm bigger than you. BPP IP: Logged |

Never really had one...heh heh heh...can't understand why? But, when I need a spot.... Ranger to skinny fuck, " Hey snapper-head, do you know how to spot the bench?" Snapper-head, " Uh yea...er...yes sir...I think so..." Ranger, " Ya think so! Get your grubby ass over here and don't fuck up.....or I swear I'll shove this loaded bar up your ass!" It's even getting hard for me to find spotters! Heh heh heh Ranger IP: Logged |

hehehe I hear ya ranger, I only keep a partner cuz he goes when I want to and does my excercises, he's there for only one reason, to rack my weights and spot me on forced reps heheh I think he's startin to realize that though so it might be time to find a new pencil neck IP: Logged |

Good post bro......I train alone and prefer it. Got my own set-up at home and it's quite comprehensive.....no waiting, no "GQ gossiping", and ya don't have to wipe anyone's sweat off the equipment but your own. I just use dumbs when I work my failure sets. It's just too much hassle trying to be "cooperative" with another partner. delts ------------------ IP: Logged |

I Find That I lift heavier weights when I lift alone. Maybe not the reps, but the poundage goes up on my last 2 sets. IP: Logged |

I'VE TRAINED ALONE FROM DAY ONE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT AROUND UNTILL YOUR LAZY ASS PARTENER FEELS LIKE GOING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RUSHED THROUGH YOUR WORKOUT BECAUSE YOUR LAZY ASS PARTENER WANTS TO GO HOME. I GET MORE CONCENTRATION BY MY SELF. PLUS I DON'T NEED A SPOT FOR ANYTHING BESIDES CHEST. FUCK A PARTENER!!!!!!!!!!!! IP: Logged |

I have not used a partner for at least 12 years! Why the hell would you want to do forced repd anyway!? BTW Big Pappa Pump you forgot a few.... I do not want to do cable crossovers ...I am bigger then you I do not want to do leg extentions instead of squats! I am bigger then you. I do not want to warm up with a three mile run ...I am bigger then you! Want to do some 1/8 th inch squats? NO! I AM BIGGER THEN YOU! IP: Logged |

i hear you, i normally train alone, then a friend wanted to train chest with, well fine, but when i get to the gym i either have to wait 30min for him to arrive or have to call him and wake him up finding out his not going today, this was the first and last trainning partner i ever had. the gym i go to is pretty hardcore, so you just put the big weights on, and a spotter is standing there before you look aroud, thats the way our gym, works.

I've been training alone for the past 5 years, with the occasional insane workout with another bro. But that only happened maybe 2 times a year. Now my g-friend is going to the gym and she wants to work out with me. I, stupidly, said ok. Now, it's like, "how long are you going to rest?" and other shit. I don't want to f'n talk... I want to lift!!!!!!!!!! ok. I'm better. Had to get that out. Hopefully some of my training will rub off and I can get back to a normal, hardcore workout in the next week. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I had a partner once for about two years and he was as dedicated as I was. We both showed up on time and pushed each other hard. We both made incredible gains during those two years. Now I train alone and since I barely rest between sets, I don't talk much so most of the others probably think I'm an asshole because I don't get involved in their conversations. But like I told one of them, I don't come here to socialize. IP: Logged |

I train with my brother. We have lifted together for 2 years and only missed holidays. We lift within 20lbs of each other and just started the same cycle. Right now I am glad I have someone to compete with. Helps me work on my weak points. ------------------ IP: Logged |
