LoL, anyway what is with people obsessing about my underwear since I put this avatar up? Yesterday I was told I have a nice buldge in them... so I had to check. It isn't even that obvious.
My wife and I lift together when we can; it's a great time. With two kids, it's a nice way to spend quality time together. It's pretty cool how hard she hits it -- squats, deads, pullups, bench -- she does it all. It's amusing to watch her lift as much as or more than some of the guys.
I love to lift/ train with my 'guy.' You're right on the quality time thing, sharing like interests, and stuff like that. He's way stronger than I am unlike you guys. I still can barely get him to cross train with me though.
