In the past, I have worked out alone and with a partner and I have to say that I am fortunate to have my wife as my partner. We both know what goals the other is trying to obtain, pushing each other to the limits. We are both trying to live a healthy lifestyle and working out is something that we can do together, in other words, quality time

My wife acts like it's the end of the world if I ask her for 10 minutes to give me a spot.

I have never worked out in a gym, and have never used a spotter. My gym is at home. And after 24 years of workingout (off and on), you pretty much know what works for your body. Also, after training so many years on your own, your mind becomes your spotter. When your muscles are maxxed during a set, your mind takes control and pushes you that extra mile! When you look at yourself in the mirror, you observe what you have achieve on your own, without the aide of outside help!
I have known too damn many martial artists and PTs that will help you, but will not show you enough to surpass them... it is an inferiority complex that they suffer from because they do not want you to fight better or look better than they do!
Just look at my Avatar.... your mind is your best friend..!

Some people don't have the motivation and determination just within themselves. I wouldn't mind having a partner, but I know it would only hinder my workouts. Every day when I go to the gym I'm already focused on lifting and what I'm going to do and everything already before I even walk in those gym doors, but if I have someone with me it totally takes my mind of what I'm here to do. I'm not here to have fun or socialize although it is good to know people and greet people at the gym your workout at. Plus if you have your own thing going and you all of a sudden start training with someone else you have to adjust it like hell just to meet somewhere in the middle between you too.
Some people get more motivated when they have someone else with them, and others already have the motivation to go through wtih it themselves.

Do tend to get more done when lifting solo. Thta's why, when my bud is in town, we'll go to Starbucks before hand and bull shit and get some cafene in the system so to get thru the workout more efficient.

It is extremely hard for chicks to find wo partners that are chicks but not into the cardio only wo crap. I have trained with guys in the past but it would be nice to train with a woman with similar goals as my own.

I do not have a partner, so I go with my cd player and listen to intense tunes to give me that little umph when I lift heavy.
I started out with a few books like "The Golds Gym Training Encyclopedia" and "The Weider Book of BB for Women", that I found tremendously helpful. Whatever I could not remember for form ect., I took notes in my journal where I keep track of my progress. I also became a Personal Trainer and am going for a degree in Exercise Science to boot. But not everyone learns the same way. It was the best bet to just watch, ask and learn from experienced BB in my gym and in that finding a lifting partner will soon turn up.
I am currently going to train 3 women, but cannot lift with them all at the same time, I would be there for hours. They are also starting out new and do not have a clue really what to do with free weights or Hammer etc. But I look forward to this as I feel it will help me work on my own routine I got going on. Never too old or to young to learn new tricks.

I was always a sports athlete all my life through high school and beyond, but I never did any ST w/ weights until my first year in the military. Some friends of my (bb guys), drug me by my spaghetti arms to the base gym on afternoon and schooled me.
I have weight trained ever since.
Before that I only did sports and strength moves using only my own body weight (i.e. push-ups, box jumps).
The only (good, constant) lifting partners I've ever had have been men.
Other females have *said* they've wanted to workout w/ me but either don't show or don't stay.
Since I've move to the east coast I have worked out alone. It would be nice to have someone to lift with but I would want someone who is there to work, not gab, and someone that's not high-maintenance (like having to call and remind them, etc.)
Until then will just keep trainin'...

Football or Wrestling is definitly what you should be doing to learn the basics of lifting weights.
