It's rare to find a professional bodybuilder these days who does not have a training partner. They know there's just no way to get as intense a workout without someone watching and helping them. It's so important to choose the right partner that bodybuilders make lists of the qualities of a good training partner. In fact many of them interview each other for the job.
Make sure he will never disappoint you by not showing up. That's why it would be good to ask him a few questions like this:
"When will you be out of town over the next three months?"
"Do you get sick often, and if you dom did you get your flu shot?"
"Are there any issues in your life or schedule that could make you late for workouts?"
The very fact that you ask him there questions will let him know you are serious. Then you better not be the one who flakes out! Determine if the potential partner has a storng work ethic, consistent enthusiasm, level moods, long-term commitment to bodybuilding, enough personal power to kick you in the rear when you are lagging, yet enough sensitivity not to drive you towards an injury. Is he organized enough to live up to his feeding schedule? If you're the only one making gains he will quickly get discouraged.
