Hello,

I have been bodybuilding now for 15 years. I have recently met a
friend who wants to train with me however he is a beginner. We've
been working out together now for about three weeks. So far it's been
OK, but I feel he holds me back a little when it comes to higher
intensity training. I also feel that it takes us twice as long to get
through the workouts cause I am trying to show him how to use the
machines/weights and how to do the exercises. I am thinking of
working out by myself in the mornings and training him in the
evenings. Before deciding on making two trips a day to the
gym....does anyone know or have tried to workout with a beginner and
still get a good workout?

Thanks for any suggests...

Nope. But i doubt you can make it work - there's a fundamental problem in
that the guy needs to do different things to you, at a different pace.

How about working out at the same time, but not together? If he needs to
ask you something, he can, but you can get on with your own workout while
he does his.

Yes, but at a cost. In such cases I tended to drift into doing
different workout than the beginner. It still took a bit longer, but
not twice longer. To make up for lost time I just went heavier. There
was a person to spot me, so I could try my best.

Hi Pearly,

3 weeks is not a lot of time to start thinking about going alone or even
using more of your time to train others, unless of course you are charging
the guy for your time as a P.T.
My personal advice would be to start putting more weight on this guys bars,
slowly getting his strength up.
Get him to start annoying you verbally, talking about your wife or talking
rubbish to get you madder and lifting more weights.
Start putting him down, you are useless or something, to get him lifting
more... His strength will improve.
Once you get shouting at each other, you will both start to notice how you
can take your body to the limits.
Its not all about Muscle Pearly, a ot is to do with mind of matter... Bring
your temper out on the bench and lift.
This is what I did, and I look great for it...
Trust me.
