How did /fit/ meet their gym buddy?
Been going solidly for about a year now and still no regular dude to lift with. Sometimes it's a little hard to focus and it'd probably help to have some random guy slap my ass and tell me to lift moar.
Where you from, I'd lift with you, sure there are people here who would
Gym buddies are shit.
Unless they share the same exact goals and are just as autistic as you they will only hold you back.
GO play team sports if you're such a normie that you need others to lift with you, normiefaggot.

you probably don't have one or have a really shitty one. it's pretty nice to have someone to always hold you to your word of increasing your bench 5lbs. this week, even if you don't feel ready for it.
also nice to have somebody to have a sweet handy brosesh in the sauna, weekends only as we both agreed ejaculating post-workout limits protein synthesis

Where are you anon? I'll randomly slap your ass and tell you to put an extra 2 1/2 on each side.
Both in the same unit in the army. We're all fitness oriented anyway because it's part of the job, and we are best friends so it just worked out.
Am i the only one who hates to lift with other people?
I am asked to workout with someone all the fucking time because i made insane gains, and it fucking annoys me.
Whenever i workout with one of my buds, my workouts end up being completely shit tier 3/10.
I like to occasionally talk to people, but for no longer than 2 minutes.

I hate it aswell, takes way too long, i always have too much time to recover, never end up pushing myself hard. I like having a snack post lift with friends, but if im lifting, leave me alone dawg

>I was a skinny fat guy, two years ago. Decide to go running, because 50 year's old colleague can do IronMan or Ultra Trail, and i'm not able to run more than 2 km at 6km/h.
> Talk about it to a friend. Tell me that it will join me with one of his friend who's fit
>Our common friend leave running, we continue
>He returns to gym one year ago, decide to stop running because he's getting heavy (not fat)
>Decide to go to a gym two month ago, he told me that's it's a good way to leave my "coward body" :D
>He has more experience than me, so that's helpful
We don't lift everytime together, but if you talk with other persons to the gym, they are plenty of people ready to assist you.

Also, that's intersting for correcting your posture. For exemple, i squat since i go the gym, and i ask him to film me. That's how i discovered that i make the fucking butt wink while squatting. Also, other guys told me how to correct my back position during lifting. If you're alone, you can't see if your position is really correct or if you're cheating/injuring yourself.

work.
we saw each other at the gym a couple times and recognized each other from work.
we eventually started going to the gym together.
people don't go to the gym to socialize with strangers.
stop thinking this is common

is that picture numbered 1-6 because it actually took 6 months to get there, or is it just stating the obvious?
if it's actually 6 months, that's pretty insane
