Training Partners...

[big in vegas]

I don't know if it's just me, but I go through training partners just about every 6 months if even that long. I like training alone, but it's nice to have a training partner to keep me motivated. I've had guys come for a couple days and then they never come back and I've had guys stick it out for a couple of months and then they conveniently don't have time to come when I train so they go at different times. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't mind training alone, but if I had a solid partner it'd make things a lot better.

best lifting partner ive ever had is my ipod shuffle.. working 12hrs a day 6 days a week doesnt allow me to spend 2hrs at the gym anymore. I bang out 15 sets in about 30 minutes. Way back when I first started lifting I used to lift with 3 other dudes. We would be at the gym for over 3 hours. Honestly I cant even remember the last time I asked for a spot?

Early on I liked training with guys that were more advanced and bigger than me. My college room mate was consistantly placing top 5 at the National level. I learned a lot from those guys. Now I know what works best for me and I like to train my way. My girl does exactly what I want and still pushes me. We still compete to see who can improve the most over the last time we did an exercise.

I train with my wife and thats about it for now...I've had some good partner's over the years...some really good ones..but people come and do...all the time...Some guys that get half way serious, want to train with me to see how I train..Cause they are thinking about doing a show or something...but then after one good back or leg workout...I start to get excuses on why they cant do legs or whatever...LOL !!! Lightsout from here would be a good partner..but we are on different shifts at work....but Sarah is pretty good to....She trains her ass off, and pushes herself alot harder than 90% of the guys in our gym....
