This nikka talking about being "lonely" at the gym

Take ya bytch ass to curves or weight watchers if you need friends fam, Op is that person at the gym you walk past with headphones on and purposely ignore because you know he there searching for a buddy

 

[LordTaskForce]

Just get a boy friend. problem solved

I go with a partner but when we're in sets, there no talking. Mostly hand signals while our headphones are in. Sometimes you need that push from your partner.

The gym is my slow the world down check in with myself time, it's hard to lose motivation that way. i've done the workout partner thing and while its fun from a social aspect I didn't really start seeing the progress i'm capable of until I started lifting alone.

Plus "Sore backs, dog ate homework, what had happened was, whoa my achy knees that don't ache any other day" etc type of excuses always came up when leg day came around when I lifted with others.

I don't think that's a problem.... I just don't think the gym is the place for it. shyt as simple as getting schedules synced up is a big challenge. I see a lot of gym buddies where I go.... none of em ever get to the gym at the same time I wouldn't wait. "Where u at" "Im done nikka u were an hour late"

I think if you a younger nikka then it's cool to be about that "workout partner" life; cause that means that you know off rip you gonna spend at least two hours in there, depending on what and how much (sets) you training. A nikka like myself who has a family and other obligations, it's all about maximizing my time. My workouts are about an hour and fifteen minutes, so no time for chit chat and socializing. Plus, like another breh said, that's MY time. Put my headphones on, hit that house music workout track or stream that house music radio station, and get my swole on.

Yea its different when you are older. When I was in college we had a dungeon gym to ourselves and goofed around for hours. Like 8 freshmen just benching and doing arms

Now I'm all business. All my workouts are like 40 minutes from warmup to finish.

Funny thing is its a lot of the older guys on that socializing shyt. Young dudes do it too but most brehs my age at my gym lift alone. Older guys bullshyt and yap all day.

been going to the gym alone since I was 16. Workout partners are generally distracting, talkative, and undependable.

This is 100% facts

15-25 fukking around, talking shyt to each other and doing arms
45-80 fukking around, talking shyt to each other and doing light cardio

Full disclosure, tho; there was one time where I engaged in mass socializing at the gym. The ESPYs was playing on one of the TVs, and I was up in the free weights area, which overlooks the downstairs and the cardio area. They've got the big screen TVs down there, so we could see it real good. So, I'm sure ya'll remember, this happened:

The response up in the free weight area where I was, a mixture of

Brehs who had only previously acknowledged each other as regulars by a casual head nod, now fell over themselves in shared appreciation of that chocolate wonder on the screen... And then, fueled by the testosterone of squats, bench press and deadlifts, the brehs shared what unmentionable things they would do to her if given the opportunity. After about 15 minutes, it was back to business as usual.
