[quote:Anonymous Coward 75890432:MV80NjkwMjkzXzg1MzkzNjIyXzVFRERCNDhG] But yes I am like other posters, don’t be a dick head. If you do not want people joining your workouts. Then quite boasting to your “friends” about how much you know about lifting weights and the correct training methods and correct use of form. If you would stop being a know it all on these subjects, then people would not be curious and want to join and learn. Yeh your buddy probably stroked up encouragement to ask if he could join. So don’t be a dick. Let him workout with you once or twice a week. Besides muscles need different workouts. So switch it up, it might benefit you more then you realize. Muscle adapt to routine and do not pass the next threshold until you change your habits. And don’t make it a habit of being a dick. Unless you want to be alone with no friends. Which I prefer, but I have needed to be a dick to accomplish this goal. [/quote]

I always feel a bit annoyed when someone wants to work out with me. My workout is tailored to me. Plus I go for 3 to 4 hours. Most are not gonna keep up with me. So by working out with them, I'm actually am having to play down to their level. I never understood why people need partners to motivate them to workout. If you can't motivate yourself, you're in trouble.
How should I tell them that I workout for hours and if they can't keep up with me, it does me no good? Is that rude? It really annoys me how friends who have never worked out actually ask me if they can join in.
