Just curious what you guys like doing.

Personally I like being alone, a partner is good for spotting etc.. but ill usually just ask some random person in the gym if I need a spot

I just get in the zone and don't wanna converse with anyone. lol

Depends really.. On my accumulation and intensification phases, I like to be alone.. On my realization “lifting heavy singles”, having someone to motivate me helps a lot.

I'm about 50/50 with this. Personally I like being alone but I feel that my motivation is higher when lifting with a partner.

I like working with a partner.. I have a competitive nature and working with someone who is around the same level as me makes me push harder. It's kinda a competition to me although they don't know we are competing.

I like working out alone but recognizing all the gym bro regulars and knowing they'll spot me is a great feeling.

If you have the free time a partner is more fun and can help you push it harder if you need it.

However I find its alot more time efficent solo, focus a lot better too.

I like going with someone bigger and stronger than me who knows a lot -- they tend to push me better.

95% of the time I'm solo though

I like working out alone. I like th freedom of just being able to do the workouts that I want and not worry about what someone else wants to do.
