I don't work well with people at all hence i don't bother having gym buddies, sure when my friends ajak I would join, I personally just join their pace despite I having to die hard to catch up or getting bored... What I wrote is based on experience and advice from my friends... And my friends that talk to me about gym are the ones that usually go alone as well
i do admit i have an ego but not in the gym

i actually pay my friend to train me, well he does do part time trainer service... He pushes me to continue because he knows its good for me rather than because he wants to end the exercise quick. That's the main difference with friends and trainers. And don't get me wrong, maybe i should've stated, I dont like having to push people because they can't get off their phones or they're being plain lazy.
I totally agree with you. I too don't work well with people simply because I don't want my friend to follow my workout without knowing the purpose of each exercise, so do I won't follow their routine that doesn't suit to my need / limitation. Everyone have their own pace, limitation, mobility issue. I also don't like to chat during workout or even during my rest period. I like to take the rest time to reevaluate the set I did previously, whether I'm in the right form, breathing technique, is the weight ok.
The ego I mean in my reply is I often see some newbie pushing their friend's weight they are not suppose to with wrong form. Worst thing is their "so called" gym buddy ignore the risk of injury and keep on saying "push push push or go home"

Have you tried going to a gym with a friend that does 1 squat exercise, few curls, less than 30 minutes hes out, worse is if you guys car pooled... Well i had that incident, he dropped me home, i drop myself back to the gym and continued, it was a per entry gym but i just told the guys it was an emergency pooping situation
The worse among the few bad experiences I had for bad gym mates.I myself don't really know what a trainer is suppose to do cause the last official trainer i had is when i started, yes the thought me the moves and making sure i had correct technique. As i progressed, i did a few months myself then now on-off I pay my friend to train me, cause i feel bad if he pushes me so much and i can't catch up to his pace(He benches 30kg/side while i do 15 only) It's a pain having to alter weights so often...
damn this is awful
