My work schedule changed so lately I've had to go by myself and yeah its awkward at first but now I just look at my phone between sets

I've never gone with a friend

I wouldn't mind having someone to spot me on bench though

Literally just stop being a bitch
Most people are there by themselves

>>40445299
Going by yourself is the only way to go to the gym. That way you stay focused on your workout for optimal gains and don't waste time fucking around with friends

This is autistic even by /fit/ standards, OP.

I literally do this every time I go to the gym, and so do the vast majority of people in the gym.

You're never going to make it unless you can fly solo.

>>40445597
Almost everyone in the gym is there with friends. Going to the gym is a social thing

Autistic loner confirmed

Dude like 80% of people go to the gym on their own.

I've always worked out alone. Working out with a friend seems fun but it seems inconvenient if you two aren't doing the same workout plan.

bako diisu sanpei

I used to go with a friend but I couldn't stand how little he knew about lifting and dieting to make gains

He would do the same muscles everyday with ridiculous amounts of volume and wondered why he made no gains despite him basically destroying his muscles everyday

>>40445299
I usually go with about 5 or 6 of my bros that's worse, people look pissed off because we are noisy and take up most the gear

>having friends

>>40445731
Yeah I've went with 5 people once and people looked pissed because we were being loud and using half the equipment

The ONLY upside to being with friends is the free spot that comes with every exercice

Otherwise,alone with fully charged wireless earphones is the optimal setting

i work out alone almost exclusively. hell the only person i worked out with before was my fiance and all she did was run around the pullup bar so id chase her and we would make out (we were at a workout park)

>>40445299
I pretty much only go by myself lately but you're right, I do way more with a partner. I do minimal impromptu workout by myself.

>>40445779
When I go by myself I only do half the workout I usually would do because nobodies there to workout with you or talk to

Must feel bad

>>40445299
You are retarded or trolling.

If you feel so lonely, talk to people. I know, crazy idea.

I made some gymbros when I changed gym last year and nowadays I try to not do my workouts at the same time because I'm not focused enough. Gains are first, my friend.

i know you're probably just trolling but for the people that are actually like this - are you guys seriously so un-self confident and insecure that you can't do anything alone? NOBODY cares about you at the gym, nobody is looking and judging you for being alone, you aren't that special - and for fucks sake, i know it sounds terrifying but maybe try talking to yourself for once? you have an entire citadel which is your mind, there has to be fucking something you can think of to host your own mental dialogue on between sets, or even listen to music or something you god damn herding animal

>tfw no friends that can be your gymbros

i don't really mind desu, I see people i know at the gym fairly regularly and we talk in between sets and shit but prefer to be in my own little bubble when working out anyways

I lift weights to look good, and look good doing it. How can I look good doing it if I train at home? If a tree falls down in the forest and nobody is around, does it make a sound? Hell if I know. But you don't look good doing something if no one is aware you are doing it/

>>40446987
>How can I look good doing it if I train at home?
home gym
>>40446987
>if no one is aware you are doing it/
your body awares them, doesnt matter where you lift as long as your body looks good when youre at the beach, out with friends, etc.

i went to gym alone for 4 month straight

step up you're game, kidd

>>40447096
The whole point of lifting is to lift more than the guy next to you at the gym and subtly make him aware you're stronger

>>40445977
you really shouldn't be a pedophile, anon.They are just kids, dont fuck them.

>>40445299
Only 1 friend can handle high reps
And he has the opposite schedule

The gym is a place of solitude, as you look in the faces of the other dozens of /fit/ and /fa/ members you can tell we are all there to mold our selves into something we can not stand to see in our current lives

I usually work out alone , but sometimes, mostly at the start of the new year , some friends join me , but barely for a month or two, and then I'm all alone again.

>>40445299
i literally go by myself every time and i dont understand how anyone could have a problem with going alone

if you need something to do just listen to music like a normal person does when they go to the gym

>>40447475
this desu, im there to train and focus all the negative energy in my life out on the weights, asking for a spot is the only amount of social interaction i do at the gym

>>40445299
literally everyday

why do people need workout partners?

I work out by myself every time. Would gladly lift with someone but I don't mind the solitude either
Being alone keeps your between-set times quick

All I do is work out alone. No headphones or phone either. I just do that thousand mile stare like the autist I am.

>>40448522
>why do people need workout partners?
bench spot

i feel bad dragging a bench into the power rack because then i'm taking up a bench AND a power rack

>>40445299
I feel like i train better alone than with the bros. I hit higher weight, better pump, and dont get tired as fast.
When i go with someone i tire fast and choke on my heavy lifts...

>death stare in a direction where people aren't standing so they don't think i want to kill them.

3 years as of February and I have never brought someone to the gym with me

>>40449838
That's probably because people have injured themselves lifting heavy without a spotter. It's unsafe as fuck to lift alone

>>40445299
I usually go by myself, but when I get there, at least one person I know will be there.

majority of people in the gym are there alone

and i've tried train with like 10 people throughout my gym time, all it does is dilute my own workout.

occasionally, you'll get strength bros and maybe you'll do your deadlift days the same time to hype everyone up, but otherwise nah.

I also have a seething hatred of powerlifter herds.

>>40446020
>he is only 50% responsible for his gains at best
Yes, it must.

working out with friends is fun, but it's a distraction

at some point, you're going to have to decide why you're there: to socialize or to get actual gains

this is different if you have an actual lifting buddy who helps you go the extra mile

I prefer going alone. The only issue I have is figuring where to look between sets.

>look around like a creeper
>stare at the floor like a depressed autist

Help

Everyone stares and hates you faggots that come in groups. You're loud and obnoxious and take up equipment forever with your fucking constant chatter.

its nice to have a gym budy to spot you and help get those extra reps in/ negative reps. you can go heavier more comfortably and safer and they know how you like to be spotted etc.

downside, any more and you dont get shit done, rests are too long.

going by yourself is fucking meditation.

>>40445299
I go to the gym by myself 99% of the time. I honestly hate going with other people because they always want to talk inbetween sets, don't track any of their lifts so I have to tell them what to do, it just isn't fun usually.

I "went" with friends today but did a separate work out, it was ok and I didn't lose focus.

Just be careful where you're phone is facing if you're on /fit/. You don't want normies seeing you post on 4chan.

>>40451138
No it was some fat kid who keeps asking me to coffee. It went:
