workout partners?

My training partner is on my team in college. We both juice. He's our center, im an OLB, so him just beasting weight pushes me. And me telling him hes a pussy pushes him. :)
 
My workout partner is very good, I'm lucky. We do talk but we don't go on for hours like MANY others. When it's time to lift it gets serious quick, and at heavier weights it's nice to have a spotter.
 
I got blessed with having a no none sense buddy to workout with. We both just know without having to take out our headphones out what was nexted or if you need a spot or help on a set. It was just working out to chase that GOD mode feel you get going on an intense workout!!! Thats the kind of spotter that i look for. I dont lift without a spotter. I never like to be able to complete a full set cause the weight is just a lil to heavy. So a spotter is best.
 
I've had a few good workout partners but I still like working out alone. I head to the gym when I want and don't have to wait for my partner to show. I do the exercises I want and I don't have to wait for my partner to do a set or talk to me.. If I need a spot, I'll ask one of the regulars.
 
Steroids are my workout partner. Before every set, I remind myself im on juice, then proceed to throw around the steel
 
So I went to the gym late today and was great, I didn't see anyone I workout with and no talking just hit legs hard.
 
I usually workout alone with no spotters or "tag-along". I don't listen to my MP3 player anymore (used to have bodybuilding motivation on it) cause the wire catches on to everything. Now, I have to deal with the shitty gym music which plays country or slow R&B songs all day as well as the old farts who stand around sharing stories of who had the most pudding last night.

Sometimes I'd spot my dad for his sets or he would for me, but we do our own thing. He sometimes gets annoying because he'll talk so much that by the time I start my set, he's telling me I have X minutes left to workout (I train 2 hours before work). I remember when we used to train together using the same routine back when I was just starting out. Soo many Bent-over Rows and Squats to help my posture. Working out with my dad was the reason I loved those two exercises and why I got into wanting to compete. I might show a photo of him one day.

I don't know how you can workout without headphones on! I just tuck the wires under my shirt and keep my phone (works as a great mp3 player) in the pocket of my shorts. Totally understand the father figure giving motivation, I remember watching my grandfather when I was a kid doing snatch-clean-and-jerks with 225lbs and thought he was the strongest man alive. Thanks for sharing!
 
Yea I feel weird without my headphones on. I don't like to hear myself breathing hard. It seems loud. Lol

Lol yeah. Last week a buddy came over to me after i did a heavy set of flys and said I squealled like a cat. Good thing I had my headphones in and too bad for the people who didn't.

So these days It seems that workout partners just makes for a lot of talking. I find myself trying to workout alone because all the people I train with just wont shut the fuck up. I take my workouts serious and it seems like most people don't. It seems like people come to the gym to fucking talk and do a set every once in a while. WTF is this? The only day I have to have a workout partner is on bench day because I need a good spotter.

Have you guys had this problem with workout partners?

I couldn't have said it better! I had to "divorce" my workout partner because it was too much of a distraction. Most people use the gym as a social club. Those are also the same people who wonder why they aren't seeing great results after "working out" for a few years.
 
Me and my GF are having our headphones on and just keep pushing each other through negatives, drop sets and making sure that the other person is really failing because of muscle failure and not because she or I think I can't do few more reps. Sometimes it's easy screw yourself over and not give absolute everything. With a partner who's on your ass, you have no choice.

That's that battle cry! Hahaha I do think it's a bit comical when dudes make a LOT of noise when lifting. Some of it just isn't necessary
