Being picky with training partners
How picky are you all with training partners?
I now firmly believe one should be picky with training partners. This doesn’t mean ducking hard rolls all the time, it means minimizing risk, while improving and having fun. Some guys roll with everyone but I think they tend to me on the stronger, more durable side, or are already very skilled.
For small people, the frail, or ones who cannot get injured, pickiness is a must unless your gym culture is top notch
- I have about 10-15 training partners I train with weekly and 3-5 I train with extensively.
- they must all be controlled and care for my safety. I in turn must do the same.
- better to be actually friends
- comparable size for the most part
- has similar technical curiosity and ability to study topics for longer periods (weeks, months)
