I train alone for the most part but more for the convenience of home gym. Used to have my brother as a training partner which was great as we would constantly be trying to beat each other. Never had that same competitive vibe with anyone else, we were pretty evenly matched in the lifts and constantly battled to get one up on each other. He works fifo now and I miss having someone to pitch yourself against.
Much prefer a training partner.
At FF I had quite a big group of friends to choose from. Both older and younger people, BB'ers and PL'ers. Miss the environment.
Ptc I train alone.
At home I train alone.
Much prefer the company of training partners, especially since now I need spotters as my training is quite heavy.
Joining a local Plus Fitness to train with another guy who's lifts are similar to mine. Hoping it works out.
Wish i had a training buddy
a few friends train, but its just curling and they don't take it seriously. Even just a buddy on squat day would be nice
I train alone and think that I'm a better lifter for it. I occasionally have my mate around to train with and it's great to catch up but I feel at my strongest when I'm alone, I also have more motivation alone. In saying that, I wish I had a spotter when doing HEAVY sets.
I dont think he has any idea what he has got himself into!Environment is a big factor good point Deep.
Hope your new training partner is ready for the pain - run him into the ground Deep
Deep whats days do you go to PTC ?
Yes a spotter would help.
Do you feel you can focus better when you train on your own? I can understand that it might be easire to be a bit more focused and intense on your own.
I dont think he has any idea what he has got himself into!
Some Saturdays. I used to go weeknights but I get stroppy when I cant get my own squat rack or am often seen throwing 30kg Asian girls off the lifting platform.
Well thats why you dont train with anyone at PTC, you kick them all of the racks. lol.
In gyms if I like the guys I find it hard not to have a chin wag with them. End up spending a good deal of time talking shit with people who's intentions are good and friendly but eat up a fair bit of my training time. When you only get a couple hours every other day it is nice to be able to get in and out with no distraction.
Training partners are good distractions not so much.
Strongman event training I found I really needed a training partner or group, powerlifting not so much.
