Which Training Partner you would love train with?

[Testosterone]

I'm just curious what makes a great training partner?
A lais back type of person or an explosive type? Or a partner that challenges you set after set?

 

[TwoWalks]

I think you need to add another name to the list:

GoPro (Eric)

 

[Mex]

Eh, Mike Mentzer. He'd probably push you just enough. He sounds like he was a friendly guy, kinda laid back, but focused.

I think Arnold would be annoying. From watching Pumping Iron, I mean.

 

[Arnold]

One thing that makes a great training partner is one that is at or close to your level, and has the same goals as you.

I would not want to train with a pro bodybuilder, at least not one like Ronnie Coleman cause he would be lifting 3 times the amount of weight as me.

 

[atherjen]

bahhhh Id must rather train with someone else rather than those guys!

 

[camarosuper6]

Someone doing the same program as you, with the same goals in mind.

Motivated, DEDICATED and knowledgable. I prefer someone whos intelligent, over someone whos strong. You cant teach common sense.

 

[Flex]

No contest. I'd have to pick my all time idol.....

The one and only......the greatest........Arnold Schwarzenegger.

although training w/Ronnie and Dorian would be pretty f@ckin intense as well.....

Ya know, that Ronnie recently finished running a raffle for a training weekend with him in Texas. I almost bought you a chance, but I got afraid that between that "Surrender Ronnie" tattoo and you drivin' his car around like you own the town that he'd be makin' you his b*tchboi in the gym and putting posters of his back next to yours up in every magazine.

Ronnie... Just for delts.

I agree. I would feel weak and pathetic training with someone like Arnold. I'd love to meet him though.

If I had to pick someone though, I'd pick Lance Armstrong. Sure he'd kick my ass on a bike, but I'd clobber him in the weight room (except on legs day).

 

[Mudge]

None of the above.

 

[Triple Threat]

No one on that list. Where are the powerlifters? I'd pick Ed Coan.

 

[Jill]

You forgot to add some females to that list!

 

[vanity]

I'll train with you Jill.

Just leave Dr. Phil at home.

 

[JerseyDevil]

I actually.... very briefly, worked out with Larry Pacifico at his gym in Dayton, Ohio. He showed me proper bench form. I always thought Lee Haney would have been a great work out partner. Anyone remember his show on ESPN? He seemed to be a good motivator, but with a sense of humor.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Timea Majorova

 

[HoldDaMayo]

John McEnroe!!!

NO DOUBT!

he could help me with my backhand...

From what I have been hearing in the news, so could James Brown.

 

[Testosterone]

I nearly had him on
Pity -- t here were just 10 choices!

C'mon man -- You would have chosen Dorian Yates for that!
He definitely had pretty much of Mike Mentzer in him!

[Testosterone]

But dont you think "LIFTING HOW MUCH WEIGHTS" doesn't matter!
Arnold said the same.
You just have to choose a guy that can feed you energy and have incredible chemistry together.

[greekblondechic]

All i can say is.. i hate when you ask somebody to spot you and they dont let you lift the damn weight!!!

LET ME STRUGGLE

 

[HoldDaMayo]

for all you John McEnroe haters... I'd just like to say he would definitely be more enjoyable to workout with than a bunch of muscle head freaks...

And yes... on a bodybuilding site... I said muscle head freaks!

Only exception I see on that list is Arnold, cuz I really this he's had a truly incredible life and has done incredible things.

 

[Testosterone]

IMO, Rock would be just as entertaining as John!

 

[HoldDaMayo]

I do like the Rock... I'll give ya that one

I'm not a wrestling fan, but all the interviews I've seen with him or any types of specials he's done, he's very funny... seems like a pretty cool guy...

 

[supertech]

Mike Tyson........Now that would be a very interesting workout

 

[Testosterone]

Yeah. You would probably have to train with your EARS, NOSE AND JUST ABOUT EVERY IMPORTANT BODYPART "FULLY INSURED"

 

[Arnold]

I added another option to the poll: None of the above
