Ok, Im hard on a training partner, so Ive heard a lot of excuses over the years, some good some really really bad. Id like to take this opprotunity to list a few, and let everyone list some of their own favorites that theyve hears and/or used... *"My grandmother is in the hospital, Im going to visit her right now." (ok, thats a valid one, BUT when I got ready and headed to the gym, he was at the park at the corner playing ball) *"I think Im overtraining" (um, he was barely managing to make it 2 times a week at this point) *"I got in the car to head up there, and when I went to turn my headlights on, the knob fell off. I really need to fix this" (speaks for itself) *(on leg day)"My legs are pretty good, I think I'll skip today." (umm, they werent) *"Bro, Im sooo sick, Im just gonna crash and try and get some strength back" (I went to his house to kick him in his ass and when I went in he was sitting on the couch drinking beer, eating pizza and playing Dreamcast) *"Youre too mean when we work out" (oohh, sorry Mr.Sensative. A little name calling bruises your fragile little ego?)
So, lets hear it... whaddya got? ------------------     | ||

Well this is a little off topic but today this guy at the gym told me he quit working legs three years ago. I asked him why and his reply was (are you ready for this? ) "If my calves got any bigger I wouldnt be able to fit them into my pants!" I almost died...It was so hilarious and NO he did not have big calves, the only thing big on this man was his gut! | ||

Oh My God, dont even get me started.....I have yet to find the training partner to last for the long haul....If BMOM was a little closer......well, she may have been the first.....She was awesome tonite for chest & bi's- totally motivated.... anyway, I have heard from 1 partner in 1 month that her grandma was attacked & mugged, her moms aunt died, and that same grandma was having a "diabetic attack" & needed to go to the hospital....

Actually, I've been pretty fortunate in this respect....as a matter of fact, I had difficulty dumping my last partner because though she trained as hard as she could....she didn't eat so (as FC and IG will atest) she has 0%bf ALL THE TIME and legs that have the circumference of my forearms (no exaggeration). It ended very badly so now even though we are at the same gym we don't speak, not even "Hello" or "Good-bye", very sad.....ah well, what's a body to do? You can only help those that want to help themselves. Now FC on the other hand....watching that woman move weights can only be described one way....poetry in motion. (A phrase that I save for individuals that are the shit.) I won't be able to lift my arms for a fucking week - OUCH! My pecs feel good....my shoulders and arms on the other hand.....OUCH! Perhaps we'll be able to work something out geographically. Nothing that comes easily is worth having. ------------------ | ||

It's been so long since I've had a full on trainning partner - yes I do hit the gym with the wife and Nitro a time or two. But some how I don't feel quite right saying something like: "PUSH you fucking sorry ass want-a-be!" to the wife.

I don't have a training partner, but if I did, I would treat it the same way I do band practise...other people are depending on you, so don't let them down. Which is why I don't have a training partner..christ let me have SOMETHING where people aren't depending on me! | ||

I haven't had a partner say this, but these are by far, top of the list. 1. (my mother) I don't want to lift weights because I don't want to gain any weight. 2. (fat chick in the locker room) I don't want to lift weights because I don't want to get huge and look like a guy. How about the people that are so 'inspired' by your progress that they want you to instill that same drive and motivation in them so that they can see the same results.....next month. Or the guy that "used to be totally ripped" but needs someone to escort him to the gym because he can't do it himself. And while I'm on a rant: okay, I'm better. ------------------ | ||

Lobo: Heh heh, I was thinking the same thing. I work out with my wife too. But when Im telling a guy he lifts "like a little bitch", it goes over better than it would if I said it to my wife... | ||

These are all the reasons I don't have a partner. I am stubborn headed and like to do what I want to do when I want to do it! My husband who also is a gym junkie. We take seperate cars to the gym when we are going at the same time! I have a very anal-specific routine before I even get to the gym to get psyched up. Loud music, same store stop for sugarless gum(even if I have 3 packs in the car)etc. This is the ONLY area in my life I must have complete and utter structure. If I don't I'll quit and think of somthing better to do! | ||

My boyfriend had a partner that broke his hand in a fight over a friggi year ago, and to this day he uses it as an excuse not to lift. Hes always saying things like "ahhhh.. DUDE, Im still having these ahh.. pains.. I think Ill go tomorrow" Yeah right. Now we go together, but ONLY for a spot. Technically, we aren't "lifting partners". Just like TN, I have to take a seperate car, do all my own little idiosyncratic things.. it works for me. | ||

Hehehe, man I thought it was just us. But often I'll ride the bike or we'll take seperate cars too! I such a slow starter, takes me a good 20 min to warm up. But then look the F*uck out. My wife has had to tell me to stop cause I just keep going - sometimes far to long (I know F1 - in and out quick). ------------------ Lobo | ||

I had a training partner who was awesome...and then one day he fell off the face of the earth. When I finally got in contact with him, he told me he was training at another gym. I was like OOOOOOOOOK. Ran into his best friend a few days ago. He told me that his friend was interested in dating me and since I showed no interest that he went back to his old girlfriend and is training at the gym where shes a receptionist. Isn't that sweet? ------------------ | ||

How about those partners that don't work out just because they are not "ON" anything at the time. Man this pisses me off. I used to juice big time, and even when I was off, and I was going through some of the withdraws, I was always busting my ass in the gym. Some of my buddies do not know how to train when they are "OFF". Then, after not being in the gym for a month or two, they all of the sudden call your ass back up to train. As a matter of a fact, most of them usually use excuses like my shoulder hurts, my hamstring hurts (to prevent themselves from doing squats), I have the flu, etc... they are jealous bastards that 1.) Don't know how to come off the "stuff" right. AND 2.) Can't handle losing strength and admitting that they were little pussies to begin with. | ||
