The importance of a training partner...

[The_Grinder]

I've been training alone for a while now. Besides the obvious setbacks like having to stop certain lifts before failure... do you guys think getting motivated is a little tougher without someone training with you?

I've never had a problem getting to the gym, and I put everything I have into it every time. But I still remember my most intense workouts being back in college where there were 1 or 2 other guys in the gym too, and we were keeping eachother motivated. Thoughts?

training partner is good. Just make sure you two are on the same level for lifting. My 1st training and I had similar goals, and we were lifting about the same. We were aiming to out lift one another every week.

My latest training partner was SHIT.... Dude was 21, couldn't lift for shit.

Didn't have much motivation and i wasn't gaining as fast.

Bottom line, if you get a partner, make sure he/she is around the same with you.

I train better without a partner. Most of the time training partners offer up a conflict in training regimen do to lack of knowledge. I like to do what works for me.

[The_Grinder]

The dude I'd be training with is a good friend of mine and is a little more knowledged than I. Also a bit bigger. So he wouldnt be slowing me down or anything.

On that note though someone that was smaller than me wouldn't bother me too much either. Just because you have to change some weights around doesn't mean much to me as long as they are putting in effort.

cant have a training partner. takes me out of my focus zone.

Prefer a training partner - but a male. I don't like the way alot of women train, and I prefer to train heavy the majority of the time.

lol, yea, i could focus great with you around in the gym. :wacko:

i guess we all get motivated by different things....

[Bouncer]

True...My motivation is just to stay healthy and wanting to live until I'm 100yrs old.

if that were your motivation you wouldn't be running tren for 6 months and sucking down candy bars.

shut your ass up. you are a meat head just like the rest of us weather you want to believe it or not.

[Bouncer]

You hit your head this morning?

Just because I'm running tren for 6 months does not mean I will not live that long:slap: Since when did you become Doctor bouncer? I do like my candy, now leave me alone punk:D

you know what i mean. health nuts that want to live to be 100 eat grass and oats.. would never dare use those bad ole "steeeroids".

[Bouncer]

In that case...I'm going to buy me some more Kashi Cereal:D That's some good shit;)

soy, soy, and more soy. look at the ingredient list.

[Bouncer]

:fufool: I guess I do eat a lot of soy...hmmmmm

yea, you need to cut that shit bro.

have you started low dose arimidex yet? interested in seeing how much of that puffiness you loose.

[Bouncer]

No not yet...I need to order it 1st:P I promise you it will be here soon and I will text you when I start and post the progress...I'm actually interested to see the results from it.

what takes you so long to get started with everything? you said you were ordering that shit like 2 fucken months ago. fuck dude, by the time you get started.. the shit has already come and gone. lmao
