Tough question.

I'd want someone who didn't talk a lot. Unless it's to point out a nice, thick ass on a girl I might not speak at all during a work-out. There are a few people there I hang with in normal life but I'm there to work out, not talk.

I'd probably pick Div, because he gets my humor. Maybe Sarcasm or a few of the guys from The Squad to blast the crap out of legs.

Arvilla would be in front of the mirror or on his cell phone too much, LOL! :)

Alexxx doesn't look like he could spot a 16yr old. :)

At 6'2" I don't find 6'4" imposing.  If he were 300lbs, at that height it might be a big deal, depending on body fat, proportions, etc...

Maybe he looks bigger in person, LOL!

   Alexxx's muscles are denser than a neutron star and his proportions are that of a Greek God. You would be instantly filled with shame if you ever saw him.

if i'm yabbering away on the ride to the gym does not mean its still yab time when we hit the gym parking lot..then shut the f**k up..

i'd prolly pick div or jake..but even then not in a tradational partner sense..

when i do 'train' with someone  i usually mean..."here n there i'll give you a look which means come over and spot me real quick..then go back to your training"
i do the same for them..no talking....i could be training chest and the other person could be training legs..

Mirzy (Sarcasm).

Simply because he knows how to spot.

Although I think we'd get kicked out by management eventually for being "gym bullies".

By myself I stay to myself and get through my workout without too many problems but with Mirz it would be off the chain.

A kid would start doing DB curls right in front of the rack, one of us would knock him over to get to the 140's and that would be it.......

As it stands right now, I don't knock the kid over doing 30lbs curls in front of the rack.  I move around him, but if he stands there, when I unrack he'll get clipped.  Some kids whine, which makes them look even worse.  Most learn to get out of the way.

This is non-negotiable.  If her boyfriend tries to interfere, her will get cripped on.

LA Fitness.

The free-weight area is all mine, which is exactly why I like it.

DB's up to 200lbs.

Gold's is higher priced and more crowded.  There's no reason to go there.

Do you do any freeweight lifts?

Do you do them for clean reps without cheating?

I think not......

Controlling the weight is alot different than using momentum.

That's why bodybuilders could never be powerlifters.

Nonsense. Many of the greatest powerlifters who ever lived were bodybuilders or trained like bodybuilders.

I just think it's funny that a fat juicer who decline benches 275 would try to act tough in a gym. My 60 year old dad can outlift you. :-*

Never that, Doc.

His sister is an Americanized Pakistani girl.

She's changed her ways.

DIV

Not a problem, I'm an American.

On some days it's better to work out with powerlifters. They are a lot more disciplined with form and poundages. Everytime I work out with a powerlifter they're using smaller increments and working with a plan. Most bodybuilders would rather add 50lbs to the bar and use their spotter than add 10lbs and then do 5 or 8 clean reps.

On chest day, if possible I do the flat bench with one of the guys that is a powerlifter. Same with the other two big exercises.

There's no acting tough, it's simply will, young man.

How much do you incline DB press? 

Squat?

DL?

Powerlifters don't train like bodybuilders at all.  The fact that you say that tells me you know exactly shit about the subject.

Tell me, do you bounce weight and think you've lifted it?  Truly?

There are many people who can do that.  That's not control.

My using AAS doesn't change my training.  I was lifting for strength all along.  This just means I can recover alot faster and I can burn out every muscle group once a week without the lag that a natural lifter has. 

You sound like a hater to me.  You would get the same treatment if you did blocked the DB rack.  Nothing changes....

Doc,

Give up flatbench for incline DB presses and see your chest development take off.

There is nothing like pressing up weight like that.

seen a guy back in high school drop 250 lbs   barbell on his face.He went to roll the bar on a flat bench while gripping the bar and it somehow rolled up and over the edge of the rack(only on one side though) and it came crashing down .Granted it wasn't the full 250lbs ...nowhere near that but it busted his face up pretty bad...could have been worse but the guy spotting him grabbed it as it fell and slowed it down some I guess. ....

Div,

Here's my chest routine

A warm up set of eight for each exercise and then five sets of five.

Flat, decline, incline DB press. military press, close grip and then one arm dumbell or french curls or tricep extensions. Then I train forearms. I'd probably be a lot stronger in the incline db press if it were first, but I have a shoulder injury and it needs a lot of time to warm up. I can only do 100 on incline db press after flat and decline have been done.

Had a "workout partner" for a while (approx. for about a year) but he was the type of guy who liked to shake hands with everybody that he knew in the gym before we started.
Just want to do the training and get out as soon as possible, and that's a lot easier when you're alone.

Love under Incline DB Press.

Incline DB presses are the best for chest development......takes the pressure off the rotator cuffs and places the emphasis on the upper pecs and triceps.  I do them first and push them to the max....all out.

I usually finish with decline bench, mainly for a different feel. 

Inclines are where most of my energy is spent and it feels like no other chest movement.

Div's workout for chest seems close to what i do in the offseason. i always start with incline DB when i'm bulking, it is the main chest builder in my opinion. having someone stronger or just as strong working with me makes for a better workout. every rep is perfect, no cheating, no assisted lifts, nothing but heavy weight.

i'd prolly pick div or jake..but even then not in a tradational partner sense..

when i do 'train' with someone  i usually mean..."here n there i'll give you a look which means come over and spot me real quick..then go back to your training"
i do the same for them..no talking....i could be training chest and the other person could be training legs..

Never seen that but it reminds me of some funny shit I saw one time. A few years ago this dude was doing 135lb incline presses with the barbell. He was trying to drop the weight right under his chin, high on the chest for good form. Well, I don't know what the hell he was thinking but during his second set, when he unracked the barbell, he brought the weight down too close and ran the bar down the ridge of his nose. Now, normally that wouldn't be too bad but it was one of those bars that have the diamond knurling (where the bar is ground for gripping) across the entire bar. He literally ground the skin off his nose, from his eyebrows to his nostrils.
Due to the trauma he just encountered, he totally lost his focus and dropped the bar on his throat/chest, and had to call out for help. I could do nothing because the sheer sight of this had me laughing so hard, I lost the ability to move my limbs. I swear I tried, but all I could really do is kinda crawl his direction. Luckily someone closer ran up and pulled it off of him.
I give the dude credit, he continued his workout after waiting for the bleeding to stop. The next few weeks he was in there with a huge scab running down his nose, just that sight alone made me lose it.
