Working out I mean. Do you train alone or do you have a gym partner?
I love working out alone. It allows me to stay focused and avoid distraction. Sometimes though I feel like a partner would help push me. We all have days where we grind but probably not as hard as we should because we don't feel it.I'm alone. Back in my sports playing days always had a partner but now riding solo. I liked having a partner but honestly now I don't have enough time in the gym for one. Will ask for a spot if needed though
I do the same. Pop in some good tunes and I have no problem getting motivatedI love working out alone. It allows me to stay focused and avoid distraction.

I lifted with my GF all the time until one of her friends started coming to the gym too. Now they workout together and I fly solo. She pulls a 185 lb deadlift and squats 135. She does a similar routine to me minus a lot of the assistance lifts. She even finishes with farmer's walks carrying a 45 lb plate in each hand. Lately i've been using the Hammer Strength machines for bench so I don't need a spotter but she is definitely capable of spotting me.Fine. I'll be the first to say I lift with my wife. Yeah you heard me. Lol.
She is one of the only females in my gym that spends more time moving weights than doing cardio or circuit training. She is the chick that guys watch doing shoulder presses and say "daaamn" for a couple of reasons. When she does bent over rows, I stand behind her so some poor guy doesn't trip over a bench and hurt himself, not to mention, I find the view "motivating" to say the least. If I need a spot, she can do as good of a job as anyone else in the place. We both wear headphones, so focus isn't an issue. She definitely motivates me more than if I lifted solo. I mean nobody wants to miss a rep when a chick is watching.
