Spot Training
« on: January 13, 2006, 11:58:56 AM »
how many of you guys train alone or have a partner. I've had someone train with me for quite some time now but i have to start alone.  I find i can really get a full mind-muscle connection when no one is there to touch the bar and i get a satisfaction that i know its my muscle lifting the weight.

I understand what your saying, but my buddy that I lift with sometimes will push me to the edge and I thank him for it ever time. When I want to give up he'll rase his voice and make me do another rep.

I can get more motivated sometimes without a partner. If I'm flying solo, I know ahead of time that it is going to be up to me and me alone to push myself, and I won't tolerate a shitty workout, so I can push myself just fine. Sometimes is also nice training alone because you are able to focus on the task at hand with a little more concentration.

i work out alone, no partner. but i can see the benefits of having a partner some time, for spotting on some serious heavy lifts, motivation etc but also the opposite depending on the partner, if he brings alot of bs to the gym, shows up late etc.

well I think it'll be good for me to do it alone for awhile just cuz i've been with someone for the majority of my training so far.
