i read in M&F that you should have a training partner for support and safety and stuff like that but i have a prolbem... noone around me shares the same drive that i do, when i'm clocking in my hours a week their skipping workouts... when i'm pumped and roarin to go they're slacking and taking it easy, fucking around,

is it okay to train alone?

i never do the partner thing. if i need a spot that badly. ive never had someone at the gym say "no i wont spot you" if i ask. i feel like its youre own ordeal and youre own path.

[jcreedon]

training partners are like women you have to be with alot of bad ones to find that good one

[AVFullBack32]

haha i;ve been with a shit load of bad training partners and girls haha still havn't found good either of them

Half the time I dont have a training partner because Im very intense and most people are little babies and want to chat and wear panties. I dont want nobody touching my weight or helping me, the only time I want someone helping me is if I cant get it and its my own fault if I was dumb enough to load the bar to heavy. But if you can find that one guy who shares the same intensity you do (I have only had one in my lifetime and we complemented each other well, he is in medical school a ways away so...) it makes it worthwile.

Generally I prefer to train alone. It can be harder just getting to the gym sometimes, but once I'm there I find it much easier to get motivated when I'm by myself.

That said, I've been training with the same guy for a bit over a year now. It comes in handy when you're benching, or you want someone to chuck a dumbbell up to you.

I train alone, can get when I want do what I want, and as said above if you really need a hand 99% of people won't tell you to bugger off is you ask for a spot

[wrestlingstalion2]

thanks for repeating for me

I train alone. All my friends talk to much and I dont need that when I'm in the f'in zone. I have a very consistent schedule and I've made a few new friends at the gym. If you go at a regular time, you can scope out who's usually there and trains like you do, and try to coordinate with them if they're cool with it. At the very least they wont mind giving you a spot.

[AVFullBack32]

yeah all my friends get like 2 lifts done and leave so i'm there alone
thenks for the insight i appreciate it

Training parters could be great, but could be bad. Uusally the emotions of your partner will effect the way you workout. It's good to have the permanent spotter for safety, but you can always find someone to spot you for a couple sets. I train alone. Mainly because I need to stay very focused and i'm not in the gym to mess around like many kids my age do. Keep yourself motivated and you'll be fine.

[AVFullBack32]

yeah km i'm also 15 and my grade likes to fuc* around really hard... hate that

When kids fuck around, it motivated me. It goes to show what you have over them. You're focused heavily on something they fuck around with. They most likely won't show it, but they respect you more than you think.

Keep in the zone, and ignore those meatheads and get focused and get big!
