my training partner is turning into a ****in' asshole

[stayinstacked]

we were pretty cool for the most part, but the guy has been acting like a ****head lately. He owns his own business and has the freedom to leave when he wants to sometimes, so we train at different times. One day it might be 2:00 and the next day it may be 4:30. I work shift work, so I'm off alot too. Well the guy has this attitude lately that his shit is more important than mine, the only way he'll train is if it's convenient for him, and when he does call me to let me know he's training it's a last minute thing like ,"Can you be there in 20 minutes?" Lately he's had alot of joint pain and shoulder problems, I'm trying to help him get through it. I just like working out with the guy because he always motivates me to go heavier or more reps and he competes too. Well, lately everytime I call him he says he's busy and he's going to call me back, which he never does anymore. I want to train w/ him so I'll call him everyday to find out what his schedule is. Well I call him earlier and he's like "Dude, you call me everytime I'm in the middle of something, what do you need?" So bluntly I say "You wanna train today or no?" he says he's gonna have to call me back, so w/out saying anything I just hung up. He calls me back and is like"Did you just hang up on me you little prick?" and I told him "Yeah, I sure did because you were being a cocksucker to me on the phone" Anyways, he says he's training at 1:00 w/ some deushe bag who works at the other gym in town, the same guy he was bashing a few months ago. He's like, "If you wanna work out then meet us there at 1:00" I told him I'd be there but I'm thinking of just saying **** it and going to the other gym in town. He pissed me off and to be honest I think my headphones will give me more motivation than them today. Whats ****ed is he told me that the dude wanted to meet him at 1:00, and that was like 20 minutes ago he told me, which tells me for some reason he doesnt wanna train anymore because he didnt give me any notice and already planned to lift w/ the other dude. I'm trying to figure out what it is, the only reason I call him everyday is because I dont know his schedule, I dont even think he does. I thought he liked training with me too, but apparently not lately. Maybe he's just pissed because I train so much heavier and I'm prepping for a show. The other guy he is training w/ goes lighter than him, maybe this dude has some sort of inferiority complex or something?

lol u sound like youev lost your girl dude. i can understand how that could be annoying and me personally would take the hint and fvck him off. there are other training partners around, he obviously doesnt want to train with you anymore. and regarding the inferiority complex, i know a guy like that, he will intentionally help you wayyy too much on things like flat bench press, just because he cant stand to see someone lift more than him, and then will make out its too heavy for you, when 10 reps is easy

[spywizard]

just move on man... i own my business, and i get that sometimes.. my schedule is not set in stone..

I understand your point, and if i were you i'd move on. ... hell life is not a popularity contest.. i have lots of friends, i don't need one more..

[PROTEINSHAKE]

I think you may be better off on your own rather than have this a$$hole bringing you down..you got a show to prep for bro!!

[mwolffey]

this is why i can never find a decent training partner...its like a relationship in a way lol...it always ends up sour for me, ie: they dont show up, dont train legs, etc...

[Beefyman]

I kinda sound like your friend i always get a "best friend" we do everything together hangout 9am - 1am for about 2 months then it is like my "best friend" get too attached and kinda freaks me out them he calls me "Come over" and i say "Dude wtf i just want to chill today" then "Cool, I will be right over" then im like GOD DA MN IT then he rings the bell and then i blow up on whoever my "best friend" is at that time needless to say some people just like some space...

i train by myself. get a spotter that's standing around if you want to go heavier and push for more reps when you need it.

[firmechicano831]

my earphones and looking at model pics in the gym give me the extra pump everytime.

[Doc.Sust]

i had a partner that was a self centered jerk and thought the world revolved around him. i finaly had enough, told the guy to go scratch, and found a new partner in time and life has been alot easier without that deuche in my life

[perfectbeast2001]

I train on my own after being let down by my previous partners. I have friends at the gym who will spot me but thats it. Your friend sounds like a cock. But maybe he will motivate you to lift heavy by pissing you off all the time!!

[stayinstacked]

I went and trained at a different gym, got out to my car and saw that he tried calling me like 4 times. I got a hold of him and we're cool now. Basically, somebody stole $33,000 from one of his businesses and he was on the phone w/ the attorney about it and was just pissed off. He felt pretty bad about it, and I know I probably over reacted myself,I'm low carbing right now and miserable and probably over-sensitive. He made it clear that I'm the last person that he wants to lose a freindship with, so it's all good now. We are training tomorrow again.

[spywizard]
