I NO LONGER HAVE TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES TO LIFT!!

Drawback:

I live in a small town EVERYONE knows me. They are all flooding to this gym. They are all hording me in the gym wanting to talk or writing me on facebook wanting to train with me. I have received no joke thirty requests to be a partner with me. I am a nice guy, but I do not want to train with anyone. I am a lone wolf. I am over training with others. I hate having to change the weight, having to wait on someone between sets, or just even show up to workout.

I really do not want to be a dick, but I am getting the feeling I may have to hurt some.

Any advice on this? I have the headphones on and they still wanna talk.
 
You don't have to be a dick just simply tell em " I train alone it suits me best but thanks for the offer"
 
Training alone is the way to go, unless they're as serious about it as you are. What I've noticed through the years, is that many just like to talk about how it will be awesome to get in shape, but never actually do it.
 
I used to tell them I just didn't want to keep having to pull weight off for anyone. But if they could keep up with my poundage it would be fine. That always worked. And if they could match me, I enjoyed training with someobe. But my pace is much slower at my age. I'm too old to hurry.
 
I'd do as reps said dude - simple. I prefer training alone. Good partners with the same motivation and dedication are hard to come by. I once had a killa training partner back in the early 90's when I lived in VA. Raida Johnny! Dude was crazy and gave it his all. We did drop sets on T-bars and hack squats until we threw up. He once blew out some blood vessels in his eye one day when we were triple drops on hack squats haha. Leave it to a crazy Raida fan - the good ol' days. :)

Man, I used to have a couple guys, we'd make a point to meet at the gym a few days a week, and hit it hard. Nothing better than when you have people with the same motivation. You push yourself so much harder, especially when you're trying to out do one another. No one I know, has the same motivation, and everyone that did has different schedules. I mean I have a gym people can use for free, and yet no one wants to train, but me, so I don't even put the offer out anymore.
 
And when I do a real heavy set I always grab someone experienced and have them spot me and I always return the favor..real simple I go at my pace...no talking....just fucking kicking it into high gear and go...
