Morrigainz Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Okay so .... this is probably really mean, and I feel *kinda* bad posting it, but not bad enough to not post it...ya know?So many of you know my husband's feelings re: my "habit." He does do the treadmill and some light weights, but I can't get him interested in ANYTHING else.Tonight I came home from my test and he was downstairs on the treadmill. I went down to say hey and smack his butt. I looked at his bench press set up - 65 lbs. "You're doing 65 lb bench presses, eh?" I say. I shrug off my fleece and settle myself on the bench."Yeah," as I position my hands on the bar. "5 sets of 10...I haven't moved it up yet."Moved up to...what? I wonder. I grab the bar.I crank out 10 65-lb bench presses. Okay, the last 2 were kind of hard, but I kicked my own ass at my workout today. Plus I haven't been benching at all.I settle the bar back in its proper position. "Yeah," I say as I grab my fleece, "I could do that five times." **SMIRK** (It might not have been the actual 100% truth....)Anyway. I thought that was funny. Quote Level ?

Rooks Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 That would motivate me. Quote Link to comment
Ryan Sannar Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 That is brilliant. Keep up the teasing, but I'd suggest only while working out. Quote Link to comment

cline Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I was telling my SO that I was doing 2 min planks. His response: yeah, that's hard but you get used to it. Me: What do you mean? Are you doing 2 min planks? Him: mumble mumble mumble Me: So how long are your planks? Him: I'm working up to 90s. Me: bwwwaaaa haaaa haaaaaa (cruel, right?) So he knows I am terrified of doing handstands and have made this a serious goal. He knows my trainer made me work on it the other night and I was terribly scared and upset. When I finally got up, held for 20s before completely freaking out. (Here's where payback comes sauntering in...) Him last night: So I was doing handstands at the gym tonight and can easily do 40s. GAH! he's never been into handstands until now. GAH!!!!! Payback sucks. I must mock him with something else tonight. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
