Sunday Funday š¤ Small momentā¦ big ripple.
Told my partner my black Metcons were wearing out, so we made a quick stop at the Nike outlet to replace them.
Womenās side? No cute colors.
Menās side? Found the SAME black pair I bought last year (they run smallāsize 7 fit a little big but Iām rolling with it).
Then I see my partner trying on the same shoe color as mine.
Iām confused likeā¦
āWhy are you trying Metcons? You know I only use these for HIIT + strength.ā
He goes:
āWellā¦ you always tell me you need your ammo when you go to the gym.
One shoe for walking, one shoe for lifting.
I want to start trainingā¦ doing RDLs.
I was hoping you could teach me when youāre at 24 Hour Fitness š³ā
Yāallā¦ I did NOT see that coming.
He even said:
āMy girlfriend is a badass. Iām just following your footsteps.ā
š„¹š„¹š„¹
That opened up a whole convo about why he wants to lift heavier.
Honestly? His reason is mostly aesthetic ā and you know what? Thatās OK.
If thatās his āwhyā and it gets him under the bar, Iām here for it.
What sparked it was me calling him out (lovingly š
):
He takes ~45 min workouts, rests like 30 seconds between sets, and moves on.
I told him straight up:
š If you can recover in 10ā30 seconds, you probably arenāt pushing hard enough.
š On my chest press days, I take the FULL 3 minutes before sets 2 & 3 because Iām lifting HEAVY.
Moral of the story:
It took me by surprise, but it felt REALLY good knowing my partner trusts my process enough to let me lead him.
Especially knowing heās Mexican and carries a lot of pride ā I never expected him to ask.
But here we are.
Quiet wins.
Lead by example.
Energy ripples.
And sometimesā¦ it starts with shoes. š¤š
