workout partner

sunnyjack Posts: 159 Joined: 2001/03/01	2001/03/22, 07:19 PM I was wondering if you guys work out with a partner or by yourself? I usually work by myself unless I am training someone else - then I try to sneak in a work out along with them, but that is a little different. I think I could really benefit from having a partner. Do any of you ever work with a trainer?

I can concentrate more...if I need a spot there`ll be always someone around to help me ... I haven`t trained with a trainer.

They push you through sticking points, you go heavier because you feel safer, they motovate you to work harder, you show up on days you feel down, just so you won't let them down. Training partners are a must for growth. Rob

But I was always the stronger lifter and the one who did all the pushing. I want another partner but I want to find one who is aggressive and stronger than me and dosen't want to talk about everything under the sun while training so I will have to work up to his level. That would be a great find for me. Partners can be a very good addition to your workout.
