Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	Post Edited: 13.05.2007 @ 09:41 AM Althought not ideal don't totally discount training by yourself. From reading your journal Paul I sometines get the feeling that if you can't get to Adders you often write of your session before its begun or go and do some half assed training. You can get some solid training in by yourself in a commercial gym, and you can make good progress. Training squats and heavy benches can be a little more tricky as can the wearing or equipment but that doesn't mean you can't have a good session. I do 99% of my training on my own in a commerciall JJB and its not al bad. IMO it has hurt my squats a little but apart from that its all good.

It wasn't meant to describe your effort level more the structure/exercise selection. I don't think I look like a fat powerlifter and I place no emphasis on training for size at all. Trying to toss up between bodybuilding and powerlifting imo is always going to hurt one or the other.

I do all my training in commercial gyms but I don't think it holds me back. Getting injured is what holds me back. As long as you have some kind of expertise to draw on (e.g. online) and a good source of motivation (and that can just be yourself) I don't think it matters where you train (equipment permitting obviously). 1RMs on bench and squat can be a pain sometimes but I find I can usually catch someone I know to be reliable to spot me.

I've tried to get back into training at home but its just crap after training with a proper partner in a proper Gym. If anyone wants to train in or around Blackburn, either at a Gym or in my garage give me a shout.

I would struggle to make your training time with work commitments ( I work till 8 Wednesday and Thursday and I work Saturdays ) but now you mention it I think I know a couple of lads who train at Pro Bodies, I think I'll show my face and see if I can fit in with someone there.
