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.



It’s a good idea for a beginner to latch onto someone who knows what the fuck they’re doing though.. I wish I did

I dunno. But I'm not being serious, I know I have a lot to learn. But for me lifting is just a means to an end, so I'm not worried about not being the best.

I tend to talk a lot whenever I workout with other people, so I'd rather just snort coke and go to town by myself and look as pissed off as possible

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 :D

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


This is like the Ancient Greeks asking whether space is continuous because it's such a damned good question.

I work alone or I work to learn, meaning that if I work with a partner, I want someone who can potentially show me something new or better. I don't rely on motivation because it's fleeting, so I don't look for that in a partner. The exception is when I want a partner for fun because it can be a nice break. Sometimes I've worked out with teammates in sports, and it can get competitive, which I think is great.

In my experience, partners can slack or be unreliable or disruptive even if they're people I like, and I don't like to lose focus.
