If you have bad form for free weights just start back over and use only the bar. Work up slowly making sure your form is right. YouTube videos of proper form and a session or two with a trainer can also really help.
Going to the gym by yourself sucks man...

Y'all don't gotta hate on dude for wanting to be social at the gym
A part of me wishes people were more friendly and talkative there since anybody that's serious knows the gym becomes a big part of your life but it's usually just dudes all mean mugging and bytches all insecure to talk to anybody
I walk with my head tall and very slow with my movements I take my time everywhere I go
I won't lie I walk around like my shyt don't stink now in reality I got mad insecurities in my head but I have worked hard to project that I'm that dude
I notice more and more hostile from other dudes....it's like people hate to see somebody actually comfortable in their own skin
My suggestion is to be friendly and social everywhere you go even the gym...life to short to be mean mugging all day

I tried to bring the homies to the gym.
These nikkas was fukking around to much. One nikka, not having an idea on how to use any machine, slamming the weights down and shyt, bad form. outright embarrassing. I just go alone with me and my headphones.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
I've been through like 3 or 4 workout buddies over the years
Most of them moved away
These two guys I'm with now are inconsistent as hell, so like 75% of the time I'm by myself
But you'll link up with a new one eventually

I enjoy working out by myself. I never knew anybody in my circle that was devoted to getting fit other than myself. They were all about smoking weed, fukking bytches, and doing nothing. I work better by myself in anything and everything period. I don't like surrounding myself with people that aren't focused on the same goals I am./..so this is why I end up doing so much by myself in life and have been since...day one. LOL.

AL loves da kids : )
Lol exactly..... I did a 2 mile walk yesterday morning with a relative. I wanted to run it and knew I could do it in under 20 minutes. We ended up walking for an hour and thirty minutes.

Man, seems like people didn't even read the OP
He isn't looking for somebody to socialise with, he's looking for somebody that is gonna challenge/push him to new heights.
Clearly the dudes talking about "I push myself
" have never had a gym partner like the one OP was talking about.
I used to think I pushed myself too, until I started going to gym with a dude who was about the same size as me, but a little stronger. Trust me, when there is another person there to push you, you'll find a level within yourself that you didn't even know was there

Breh, why did you hit me so hard in the feels?
IDC what anyone says, lifting with another dude who lifts hard and doesn't mess around is better than lifting alone. The intensity is at a whole other level
I agree with this 100%.
As I said in my post, if you're both there to put in work, you'll find a level within yourself you never knew you had

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Of course we're not talking about a person that is new/inexperienced that will slow you down, we're talking about an equal or stronger person that will give you that extra push.
