    end result was they pretty much always had someone to work out even if someone was working late, couldn't make sick .etc.. worse part was actually if they all showed up ... then they kind of had some awkward how do we do this..

    as for me ...I can not really do a training partner .. I have a rather different routine.. I am older and do higher reps cause it is better on my old joints (15-20 reps) ...but I still manage 20-30 sets..so not bad..
    but young guys do higher weight , lower reps and old guys like me ....we they do the tread mill.

    I just turn up the head phones and keep going... I am the old man of the gym...kind of like the mayor

    my best recommendation is to post in a location like this , and indicate you are looking for a partner something like Southern NH and wait for an pm .. a good workout is worth a short ride IMHO...
    I remember hearing about a guy doing 2 hours to golds to do Legs ... I was thinking the drive down wouldn't be bad .. 2 hours drive after doing legs right would suck...
    I don't think throwing out your or anybodys location here is a good idea.

    I lift things up and put them down.. they would escort me to the door too.... but I am smart enough realise that is the back door and not the one I came in
