Today was the first time where I didn't train with a partner for quite some time. I've made a few observations about both types of experiences as I really haven't had a regular training partner for an extended period of time.
Obviously, without a partner alternating sets with me, I was able to get out of the gym quicker and thus, it resulted in a more intense workout by moving along at a quicker pace. Without a partner, however, I wasn't able to get as many overall reps with say, the high incline press because my partner would help with the initial lift after I kicked up the weights before I would begin my working reps.
So, I reverted to rest/pause and a drop set to finish the amount of work I was doing previously with a partner. Getting the weight up initially is quite the effort in itself but it was no less intense especially with the shorter rest period.
Well, I best get used to training on my own again...not that I mind but I'll definitely miss the assurances of the spot.
Great workout today!
