Aiyoh, you guys hardcore fellas go attack him for what?!
Relax lah. LOLz!

I don't have a training buddy because there's no one doing the same programme with me in the same gym.

Having a partner (a good partner) is good thing mah.
Keeps you motivated and when you feel sucky, and see that your partner is all pumped up to whack the weight... you wouldn't just sit around wasting time in the gym.

Don't worry dude. The more you become stronger, the more motivated you will become.

You do night shifts?

Unless they're throwing pink dumbbells or doing exercises in the wrong form, they can throw the weight *kaboom* as they like... as long as not on my toes.

Because I do that sometimes. Takkan you wanna put down the bar queitly after the deadlift. X^D

The gym is padded. Dropping weights doesn't makes a huge bang. It just goes 'dom'.

I never bothered about letting the bar go down real softly for the deadlift. I just put it down as usual. Sometimes there's a clang, sometimes a soft knock. It doesn't seem to bother anyone... because there's no one around. Paiseh paiseh X^D
