Wonderful! The gym is a GREAT place for UA time.

You and Markos must love each other a lot then. The last time my wife and I tried to workout together, I thought we were going to kill each other. Of course, we have totally different goals when it comes to training. She wants to use machines and get on the eliptical. I want to pull heavy deadlift singles in the 500s or powercleans. Maybe drag up and db bench some 120s. I want to feel like my eyeballs are about to pop out of their sockets. I don't want to talk except to ask to pass the chalk or maybe a spot on the bench. My wife is not nearly strong enough to spot me on teh bench nor does she want to.

And a few of the guys I train with whom have wives are a lot like my wife. So she goes off with the other wives and they do their style of working out and we guys off and be uncivilized animals.

My wife is coming around on the workout together thing. We did one time several years ago and I was a know it all jerk so we never did again. I've proven that I won't do that again so she is much more ok with it whereas before it was a no go.
