going to the gym alone?

[kyrogue]

how many are you here goes to the gym alone? i usually find a partner to go with so i can take heavier without being afraid of having any accidents, so when i cant find a partner i usually abandon the idea of going gym.

[Ruins]

i have always gone alone.

your just a pussy

[Wegzyzz]

i go alone

at school i workout with someone though

[baddog671]

Almost always go alone...

If you need a spot, ASK FOR ONE!

[SirBash]

I've started recently just going alone.. If i need a spot there's always someone around who is willing to help!

[Fiz-iks]

I used to always go alone. I just got sick of people always changing the time or how long they wanted to go for. But recently I've started working out at a buddies place whose got a pretty sick home gym, literally a 30 second walk away!

Most of the time I train with 1-2 other friends,

But in all honesty I prefer training alone sometimes, the focus is just so much better.

[scott_lycan]

Stupid thread is stupid you dont NEED to train to failure, use a weight you can handle on focus on the motion and working the muscle. train smarter, get bigger

[KruseMissile]

I usually work out alone and when i have a friend there it seems i dont work out as well as by myself. We get to joking around...

[st3v3]

The only time I need a spotter is for a max. You can usually tell when you're about to fail on a set...

[adrgdep]

I can't concentrate if I was with someone else.

[LukeN.Good]

I used to train regularly with a workout partner. Now he's in college and I'm a year behind him so our schedules don't coincide as often.

This. I don't understand why people are so afraid to ask someone for a spot.

[demoniclizard]

I go alone just because I can't find someone with the same motivation and energy level at the gym. You sort of have to go at the pace of the slower of the two so if your partner lags then it makes your workout less effective. However if your both motivated and can push each other it can make it more effective.

[ucantcme5]

i like going with a friend, but my workouts arent intense, i end up talking half the time rofl

[MrMuscleGuy]

Alone.

I'm very focused when I work out and if I socialize in the gym, I find it distracting.

[zonee2k]

I go alone most of the time, it's relaxing in a sort of way to just pump by yourself with some semi-agressive music. If I am alone and need a spotter Ill just ask for one, most of the people are nice enough to help you out.
If I go with someone I only go with ONE more person. Otherwise we will most likely just chat with eachother instead of working out, and personally I hate that.

Two is company, three is a party.

[ninwowsk]

eh i usually go alone, if i go with friends i spend a ****load of time talking and my rests end up being longer then 60-90 seconds, imo going alone is better

[Tomohawk92]

i used to work out with a partner but he was a pussy and he stopped working out so im solo now, don't have anyone to slow me down now, can do all my sets freely, no waiting. ipod on 75% volume, hit a good part in a song and push that ****. feels good man.

[Ben123123]

I always go alone. Well amost always. Only 2 of my friends train. Ones a myspace ripped kid, who pisses me off simply because he is an idiot, and the other only works out ocassionally. I find i get a much more intence workout when im not distracted by friends. So go to the gym alone. WOrk hard, and dont be scared to ask for a spot! Those big guys dont actually eat puppys for breakfast.

[Hyruliangoat]

i go alone its maybe once every 2 months that someone goes with me. you get to distracted with other people its not the same, especially with groups then it just turns into a place to hang out and talk...

[Jwilliams2]

alone

[ice_man89]

i almost always go alone no. i know my limits and if i wat to push through them eg on bench i will ask for a spot, or ask someone to pass up a weight. pretty easy

this.

why are all these pussies afraid to ask for a spot

[gurpalsingh]

alone, i get distracted with my mates

[Manikuba]

going with a partner is cool when your starting out, but after awhile going solo is ez. Iv been going alone all year, iv never had a problem with getting stuck while benching and if you do its a good way to teach your some humility. heh

[gymcandykid]

I always fly solo.. Sometimes being by yourself can be a benefit cuz when your liftin you know you don't have a spotter so if you dont get the weight then you can get hurt so that makes me push myself harder... Other people just slow me down because they usually can't do the same weight as me or they dont have the same drive to go to the gym...

Ditto.

[SandMayne]

this lmao. partners slow you down. just build yourself some gym rep.

[zepplin92]

Alone about 75% of the time...the other 25% is with my big bro. Varies from month to month, sometimes more.

[RORIAB1]

just turn on my ipod and train... just ask for help if its neccesary...
