Great advice - it is really important to be able to push yourself to absolute failure and you just cannot do this on your own.
And regardless of anything else, having a buddy really does make sure that you push yourself every time. When you're on your own it is really easy to convince yourself that you have done enough for the day, when being with someone else would make sure that you put that extra 10% in.
