So when I first started working out, my friends brought me to the gym and showed me how to bench and use machines here and there. However, they all went together in big groups, but I wanted to see results, so I took advantage of the fact that my older brother and dad worked out. They brought me to the gym and showed me how to bench. I struggled to push the bar with a 10 on each side. My arms were shaking and my bar path was all over the place. My dad asked my brother to load on my weight to the bench, but my brother insisted it'd be too much, so we didn't up the weight. I then worked out with them for quite some time. However, COVID happened and I had to work out alone after a couple of months of having a gym partner. I saw way faster progress than my friends. Why? Because I didn't screw around, I surrounded myself with people who were ahead of me, knew more than I did. Therefore, I was able to skyrocket my progress. Now, when COVID occurred and I had to work out alone in my basement, I used YouTube as my "gym partner." I watched the Hodge Twins every single day for motivation, Jeff Cavalier and Nippard for science-backed and practical advice, and Zyzz or David Laid or Jeff Seid for aesthetics and vibes. After the pandemic loosened up, I would gym with so many different guys. But I can't lie, I worked out most with @Pantelis Mountakis. I also worked out some more with my older brother @Kolten Hull and my younger brother @Chase Hull, however, Pantelis and I consistently went together for ages. The best thing is the Skinny/Fat combo in my opinion. Why? Because the skinny guy needs to eat more, but the fat guy needs to eat less. So when I trained with Pantelis, who at the time was 300 lbs, we would go over to his place after the gym, since it was close and eat food. I ate more than ever at his place just due to their Greek household always having food around, which I am very grateful for. We would then go for walks for quite literally hours upon hours every day.

I personally trained for 5 years almost exactly now. Not steading progress, I have done cuts and bulks which affected my strength/muscle. But when I look at where I am now, vs where I start, the overall lump sum is a huge win in my opinion. Lmk how long you have trained for?🏋️‍♀️

My IRL gym partners in this community are: @Kolten Hull @Chase Hull @Pantelis Mountakis @Aiden Ross First two are my brothers, other two are my best friends. Having my boys inside this community makes it a lot more fun to make progress! Invite your gym bro so you guys can hold each other accountable in the Nutrition/Exercise Trackers! I would not have gained nearly as much muscle if I did not have that daily competition. Is your gym partner in here?
