Tfw it sucks when I bench cause I can never hit my max without being of afraid of being asphyxiation from the bar Falling On Me Because Can't Lift It

I've got like 4 or 5 active or potential gym buddies but lately I've gotten tired of how training with them restricts me from training at my own pace which includes 5 minute rests between sets and makes the workout fairly long and they start bitching so I never call them up anymore. It's just so much easier going it alone.

why u want a chick for a gym buddy? u set urself up for defeat immediately

>tfw always have a smile on my face when I'm going to the gym
I love my gym
>>36758528
I've never enjoyed having a gym buddy, not sure why. Even when taking 5 minutes between sets people would keep fucking trying to talk to me past that when all I want to do is lift.
Shits annoying.

You've got to be lying
Gyms that good must be expensive.

>>36758611
If you are a regular yourself, you should know who also is. Ask them when you need a spot.
>>36761191
Sounds awesome
>>36758528
>talk to guy in the gym about leg day
>tells me to come on friday at 3pm, will do squats and other legwork together
>go on friday at 3pm
>wait for him
>get bored, start to do the accessories after fifteen minutes
>he never shows up
>squat on my own, can't try PR because no gym buddy
pic unrelated ;_;
>>36761191
But what if you don't make the lift and you let them all down?
>>36758868
shit I envy you so much.
The gym I go to is mostly for crossfit faggots and I've yet to meet someone whom I could get along great with and go out for beers and shit. There is this big crossfit crew and they pretty much ignore everybody else
>>36761233
150€ / year actually
>>36761582
Never give up!
>>36761239
>implying
Have been going to my uni gym for 3 years and I still only just recognize a lot of faces
And the ones I do meet I rarely shake hands with and get a name from, because apparently that's unnecessary when you're bonding over deadlift form discussion
