Do you train with a partner?

Uthinkso · 03-26-2007, 11:21 AM

I've tried it both ways, and prefer the solo route. It lets me get in and out, plus I don't have to work with anyones schedule but my own. On the other hand I had to change things up a bit, and watch how hard I push myself on certain things.

What do you do?

I generally workout alone although I have worked out with a partner from time to time.

i don't know anyone at my gym, nor do i have friends that workout. so i'm solo.

i think i'd prefer by myself too. gets me in and out quicker.

I only lift alone. I put on my music and block out the rest of the world. Nothing exist but me, and the weight I lift.

No, I like the focus of lifting by yourself. Plus, I lift at random, inconvenient(for others) times.

What do you do? I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.
