Proud workout partner

My female workout partner got 135 lbs. on the flat bench last night. Perfect form, smooth rep, new max for her. I'm proud of her and her hard work. Its fun to watch other guys or women when we lift. They think she can't spot me and that she doesn't know what she is doing or she can't lift that. So I'm giving her some props because she has gained respect in out gym from pretty much everyone. She knows me like a book when I'm going for a max, when to help when not to help. Congrats my friend and workout partner.

Thank you so much.. thanks for teaching me and having patience. I couldn't have done it without your support, you believed in me when I was unsure. And thank you for trusting me to spot you. Guys in the gym running over to help, really used to make me mad. But when my dad, who used to powerlift said he wouldn't let me spot him is when it really hit me how much you trusted me.....When we first started going to the gym and like most women I was on those darn cardio machines, I would watch the guys lift and secretly wanted to learn, but I didn't want to be in the way....and your such a nice person and a great friend that you were willing to teach me, so thank you

That's the best!!! I'm SUPER happy for you guys!

I really agree when it comes to good training partners, you really get to know each other and care about their goals almost as much as your own. I used to train with about 20-25 different people every week, twice a week and trust me we all got to know each other and learned to trust each other in spotting more than one could imagine.

Keep it up Hon!!

My workout partner is so great....he pushes me to do more and tells me what I should do...and again he is right......He said get a wrap for my weak knee and I did and had my best night with squats ever...My workout buddy is the greatest!!!!
