Thread: Gear use and training ALONE?

I was wondering if there's anyone here that uses without a swolemate, no lifting partner, or anything, no discussion about gear other then on here??

I have a few guys in my tight circle but as we get older our lives change, direction, careers, location, goals etc etc..I mean, I still have my die-hards, but not like it used to be..Anymore I workout alone, no spotter or anything..My gear use has always been under wraps with just a few solids knowing the deal, anything else is clearly obvious..I've mostly always kept to myself, and the wife says I don't look easy to approach, I've been taking offense to that statement for years,she claims people have even mentioned that I look grumpy or pissed, when in fact I'm not, it's how I look,maybe because I'm always thinking about something and shit on my mind.

Anyone else here use ALONE, train ALONE?

When I'm invited to company hangouts, friends/family gatherings, I'm like the odd ball with nothing but average Joe's talking about shit that I can careless about..

Swolemates are fading away...

We are the minority, no kidding..

i USE ALONE , TRAIN ALONE and dont speak of AAS outside of this board. I find other people to not have the same perspective on things as I do and wuite honestly dont give a shit.

I do my own thing for the most part and I have also gotten the comment that I am unapproachable or whatever. FUCK IT. I use gear , lift weights and get big man -- it is a personal goal of mine and I stick to it. I get what youre saying though. My girl doesnt even know about my use bc she wont understand it causes a problem.

Im with you man -- flying solo except for a few solid friends that know about it--other than that -- nah

I'm in the same boat. I've had training partners and such in the past, but inevitably they all fall away and quit training altogether. My wife knows the things I do, but aside from that I don't discuss anything outside the BOP. It's just easier that way and it's nobody's business anyway.

So everything pretty much the same for me. Don't have a lot of friends. Don't really care to have that many. No one really knows about my gear use. Mostly because most people still think it's the old roid rage thing. Most people think you take testosterone and you'll be all pissed off. They don't understand how it really works. So I don't even bother. Gym is same. Too much ego. I have my gf. We go do our thing. And go home. I think it gets harder and harder to have "friends" these days.

Well Vision my circle is very small ,like my wife and 1 coworker as far as what i pin. As for training goes i train alone as well. Just hard to find someone to workout with who is consistent cause i workout at 4am. But on the flipside i love working by myself prolly cause i just always have. Wo partners have come and gone over the years i just keep pushin. Happy Monday bro. STAY STRONG

I've always trained alone, don't talk to anyone outside this place about gear, and now that I've put together a decent home gym I don't see that changing any time soon.

Everything you've described here is exactly how it is for me. Except my wife things I'm "tough", and "manly", but she never tells me I'm unapproachable. People don't fuck with me. I guess it's the way and the look a carry. But I have long ago embraced this fact, and it's just as well because I'm not one to put on about shit I don't care about. It's fake and that's something that just doesn't fly with me. Too many bullshit fake like they care pussies out there just to be "socially acceptable" in my opinion.

I'm the same. Don't have anyone to train with. I only have this board. I'm the only one of my friends using AAS except one friend that does trt without lifting. Trying to get him to work out with me but schedules and modivation are factors. I don't go to the gym due to there only being one In my town and it's over crowded. Also, 90% of the people there drive me bat shit crazy. I've always kind of been a loner by choice. I don't trust people and always see through their bullshit. Still, I'd like someone to lift with. Someone other than me pushing the workout. That's the other thing; someone who you don't have to carry through the workout. Someone who can push you when you need that extra bump and vise versa. I've only had one friend, 15 years ago, who was awesome to lift with. I agree with you 100% and don't want to join the sheepeople. Fuck sitting on my ass watching marathon runs of TV and not living. It's like most people are waiting to die. It's pathetic and I pray I don't get that way. I'd rather die than become complacent. I need a swolemate. Lol
