Training partner

[Carlos_E]

This is like the 4-5th time I've posted on the board looking for a training partner. But, I'll try again.

Anyone who trains in or near NYC let me know because I'm looking for a training partner. I have contests coming up this fall and it would be very beneficial to have someone to train with. I train in Manhattan.

[stocky121]

[USfighterFC]

I live in Brooklyn and train in Manhattan. Where do you train?

I train in long island. I work there and split my time between there and brooklyn so I work out over there. There are no gyms I was impressed with around my area so I found a nice gym out by where I work.

which part in li...i would def. work out with you carlos if i didnt live so far away...

[chest6]

Man I'd love to but nowhere close. I like working out alone but a partner is good to get some added screaming and spots on push days etc..

[GQ-Bouncer]

Carlos, dude you'll have a hard time finding people who could keep up with you!

[C_Bino]

Sorry my man, Im not much help over here by Toronto lol. Training partners can be hard to come by. Luckily right now Im training with my brother, best partner to have.

[stunner5000pt]

too far from ya buddy

i train with my friend.... hes th one who got me into this
nuff said!

[Rob]

i have a few to chose from

but in all honesty, working out alone is alot better for me, less chitter chatter, more lifting and im more focused.

[Rob]

I know its tough to find one... i work out alone..

im desperatly trying to hold back

[taiboxa]

come to OK u kan train w/ me and then afterwards we can go look at cows and teepees and stuff..

[needmorestrength]

damn... I guess I could move lol

[Fletch3138]

Wish, I lived in that area. Working out alone is great, but having a partner that is focused and not a chatter box is awesome. Plus, it keeps your timing down for rest in between sets. I find its somewhat easier to get sidetracked when alone.

[Tbone1975]

I wish I lived near ya buddy, I'm upstate. I know I could not lift the weights that you do, you're huge bro. I'm sure I could learn a hell of a lot from ya. Well, hope ya find somebody.

[Carlos_E]

For me I can't go as heavy as I want because I never have a spot. That is why I really want to find a partner. For spotting and motivation.

I know a couple of Pros in NYC but they already have training partners. Jason Arntz was my contest coach and I saw him at the Pro show last week and he said he wanted to train me. The problem, I have to pay him. Right now I can't afford what Pros charge for training. I will use him as a contest coach but paying him 5-6 days a week for training I can't do.

[Carlos_E]

Size isn't everything. As long as you're a good spot and motivated that's what makes a good partner.


One of you move to NYC and be my training partner!

[Carlos_E]

I told Nark he should come to NYC and train here. But I don't know how my roommates would feel about some dude crashin' on our couch and not paying rent.

[SMAN12b]

I wish I could help Carlos, I train alone as well and I know how hard it is to go as heavy and you want sometime. too far away for ya bro sorry!

[Carlos_E]

Yeah, I see you're lost in space.

[SMAN12b]

Yeah, I see you're lost in space.

LOL, yeah Central PA, almost as far as outer space..lol

[spencer]

what happened to your last one?

[1buffsob]

what happened to your last one?

I can only imagine. I'm sure most don't make it very long training with Carlos.

Carlos, I'm afraid Nark already promised to come train with me in CO. I'm bribing him with food and women. I think the food was the real clencher. Nark doesn't seem to be too into women.

It's a bit far for me bro or I definitely would - what better way to raise my game than training with someone in as good shape as you!

Wanna come train over here? - The gym I use is pretty poor but it has great parking!

[Carlos_E]

what happened to your last one?

I've never really had one. I've always trained alone and can never find one. If I do, they usually don't last more than 2-3 weeks. Like the last one... She's a Brazilian bodybuilder who squats 405. But she was full of shit and didn't last.

[Mizfit]

im desperatly trying to hold back

I didn't realize you workout

j/k

[WEBB]

i'll move in January...thats the best i can do...well i can come now but i can only stay 2 weeks there then i need to come back for a week to see the girl...but i'll do it...i would love to challenge myself training with ya, and maybe give you the push you need now and again....i need a place to stay though, but i'll pay rent...

[WEBB]

i live like 7 hour drive from boston, so how far is that to where you are?

[Carlos_E]

New York to Boston is a 4 hour drive. I live in Brooklyn.

[taiboxa]

I HATE OKLAHOMA.. im so far away from civilization!
><

but now the cows get smart.. they set up a decoy.. when u go to push it BLAM one will crouch behind u and the other will hit u w/ his rear end KNOCK U OVER! i swear.. them cows get smerter eVERY YEAR!

[WEBB]

so i only need to drive 11 hours....that not bad... then i will stay for a few weeks then come back for one....whatcha think???

[Carlos_E]

I think if you used my matter transporter it would be a faster trip. I can't guarantee you'll come out of the data stream the same way you went in but who needs two eyes anyway.

[WEBB]

i dont...fire that bad boy up and get me out there already...

[Jimmya73]

i miss having a training partner too, mine have always been my roomates and they understand the concept of not chatting and focusing on the workout. you can find inventive ways to self spot though, and some deftones on the mp3 player added to a general dislike of what i see in the mirror is all the motivation i need. a neat little trick i have found is taking the free standing weight rack from underneath the preacher curl pad and sliding it under the end of the bench on skullcrushers, it allows me to go alot heavier.

i would move to ny, but i was voted most likely to live in ga forever as a high school senior superlative, i would hate to disappoint everybody on the yearbook committee!
