OK thanks. Just started at Planet Fitness yesterday and I'm not as sore as I expected (maybe because I was there for 30 mins) since I've been doing some exercises for a few weeks now.
 
I rarely get stiff, need to push harder. I find it difficult to motivate myself to push, sucks not having a partner.

I get stiff almost every week.... and after I take my easy week - I can hardly walk the next week... although, since stuffing up my knee - its been easier :p

Yeah I agree. A partner helps on certain exercises, like the Bench press. While you can, and then do the roll of shame...that's not my favorite way of pushing myself :P

On Squats and Deadlifts and Pendlay Rows I feel perfectly comfortable by myself pushing, mostly because I know I pretty much can push over my limit without hurting myself, except maybe on the rows if I go out of bounds with ligaments in my wrists.

And it also becomes like a sort of competition (don't lie you know most men are like that) and that helps you want to push harder. all round i feel it helps, having motivation, a spotter etc

:(

I have also found this to be true, if I take a weekend off or 1 or 2 days and then hit it hard, the next day I have to take off again as I'm flippin sore like today, yesterday was Chest, I can feel myself getting sore by the hour.

A partner is nice for the competition and to help to failure, miss that, I always push to the max with someone watching.
 
There are many girls that DL more than 80kg. You shouldn't hold yourself back like that.

Even I that don't really try managed to get to 125kg at a body weight of 71kg. I am aiming for 140kg before the end of the year, and hopefully 180-200kg end of next year.

Oh.. its no joke :p

She's tall - and skinny... I usually drag her with and make a beeline for guys wasting their time (and my space) in the gym by doing pathetic weights... then set-up next to them.

There's really no excuse to do weight like some of the guys at VA.
