Training Partners

[Cardinal Slin]

Hey all,

I was wondering how many of you train without a partner and was wondering if you felt it held you back at all?

I usually train alone at the gym and with my crew at work. I dont think it has held me back. I dont rest much between sets and when I need a spot the gym I go to has some cool bros that we help each other out when needed. At work we dont train conventionally so spots arent really ever needed.

I usualy train alone. It's for the most part, better that way. I do have a couple guys that I train with from time to time. Like I said.... A couple.

One thing that bugs the hell out of me is training with guys that think they know it all and expect me to follow their lead. The other kind that bug me are the ones that cry about every other excersize you are trying to do. "I can't do those" or I don't like that." then go home. The couple of guys that I do train with are on the same page as me. We get in there, we don't argue or gripe and complain or disagree about anything. We just get in there and get it done.

Trained alone for the past 12 years. I've since tried to take on partners but it only held me back, as they weren't conventional partners but more of teh type that were getting into working out so I had to constantly stop and explain a lot of shit. I tell people now that I will not take them to gym with me but i'll do what I can to help out otherwise.
