Fitness boyfriend

If you can accept that he occasionally puts training plans before dates, then this type of boy is definitely a cost-effective choice in a partner - his lifestyle habits are generally healthy, his emotional stability is mostly good, and he comes with a bunch of practical skill buffs related to sports. The only threshold is that you must first understand his "fitness slang", and don't use "can't walk during leg training today" as an excuse to avoid dating.

My best friend just reconciled with her fitness boyfriend of half a year last week. The day before, she was scolding me that "fitness is more important than my girlfriend." The reason was that the two of them made an appointment to eat sukiyaki after work for half a month. Before getting off work, she had already finished touching up her makeup. Her boyfriend sent her a video of her squatting in the Smith's Stand with her legs so weak that she was walking on the wall. She pitifully begged her to pack the meal and take it home, saying that he would wash the dishes for a week as compensation. She came to the door angrily with a packing bag. When she opened the door, she saw someone leaning against the entrance and handing her slippers. His trouser legs were rolled up to his knees. His quadriceps were still shaking uncontrollably. In his hand, he was holding half a bottle of electrolyte water that he had just taken two sips of. Most of her anger was gone in an instant.

Online reviews of fitness boyfriends have always been polarizing. Some people think that such people are self-disciplined and can control their body fat percentage. They must also be responsible for relationships.； There are also people who complain about themselves. They don’t even reply to messages when they practice too much. They can reschedule their anniversaries even if they happen to be shoulder training days. I have been working in the gym for almost 4 years, and I have seen as many as 100 to 80 fitness men. To be fair, both situations really exist, and they cannot be killed with one stroke.

I've seen people practice to the point where they don't recognize each other. Once I met an older brother in the strength area who was sprinting for a bench press PR (personal best). His girlfriend came to him in the heavy rain to give him an umbrella. Without even raising his head, he asked someone to place the umbrella at the front desk and said, "Wait for me for 20 minutes." As a result, in those 20 minutes after completing his PR, he also did three sets of chest compressions and did aerobics for 10 minutes. His girlfriend almost fell asleep while sitting at the front desk. In the end, the two of them left arguing. From a distance, I could hear the girl complaining, "You can just live with the barbell."

But most of them are actually able to balance their hobbies and life, especially those who have practiced for more than three to five years. They have long passed the age where "not adjusting the training plan" is a medal. PR can be achieved next time, the training plan can be fine-tuned, and the promised partner will basically not break the promise. Last time I saw an older brother in the gym. His phone rang in the middle of his deadlift training. It was his girlfriend who asked him if he wanted to bring a cup of milk tea along the way. He immediately put down the barbell, and his voice was so soft that it was completely different from his expression when he was exerting force: "I want three-point sugar on the ice, right? I'm going to buy it now and go home after practicing this set. ”

Oh, by the way, don’t believe the fitness men who say on the Internet that they love to show off their muscles. Most of them who are really good at training will take off their clothes in the locker room and secretly sculpt their body in front of the mirror. They will always wear oversized T-shirts when going out. If you see a man on the street wearing tight clothes and walking with his chest muscles deliberately stretched, it is most likely that he has only been practicing for less than three months and is still in the fresh stage.

Regarding the question of "who has higher priority, fitness or a partner?", the fitness circle is actually divided into two groups by default: one group believes that "iron is iron, lover is lover, iron cannot run but lover can". Most of these people have passed the muscle-building bottleneck period, and training has become a lifestyle habit rather than an obsession. If you want him to accompany you to eat hot pot, it is no problem. At most, he can take the initiative to run for half an hour for aerobics the next day.； The other group believes that "the training plan is sacrosanct." Most of them have just practiced for 1 to 3 years and are in the critical period of achieving results. Their minds are full of how to gain muscle and lose body fat. If you temporarily disrupt his training schedule, he will really get into trouble with you. So before looking for a fitness boyfriend, ask him clearly which group he belongs to. It is much more useful than asking him how many kilograms he bench presses.

Several sisters around me have found fitness boyfriends. They were all homegirls who were tired of chasing after taking the bus. After practicing for half a year, the waist protrusion caused by sitting for a long time has been relieved a lot. You no longer have to worry about whether eating a bite of cake will make you fat every day. The other party will calculate the calories for you and say, "It doesn't matter. I will spend half an hour climbing with you tomorrow." On the contrary, it is not easy to have body anxiety. There is also a practical skill that is really good: one day when you work overtime and your shoulders and back hurt, he can accurately press the nodules of your trapezius muscles. His technique is no worse than that of a massage parlor outside. After all, he studies the starting and ending points of muscles every day. These are skills engraved in your DNA.

To be honest, I have complained about male bodybuilders before. Until the last time I went hiking with my fitness friends, my waist and legs were so weak that I almost cried when I climbed halfway up the mountain. He squatted down and pressed my gastrocnemius for 5 minutes, and it immediately relieved me. At that time, I felt that the axis was not a big problem. Oh, by the way, they also have one thing in common: there are always two or three cans of protein powder of different flavors in the cabinet at home, as well as a pile of protein bars and ready-to-eat chicken breasts. If you look through their cabinet when you are hungry, you will not find half a bag of potato chips. It may seem boring at first, but after a while, it actually feels quite healthy.

Last week I went to the gym to take classes, and I saw a boy practicing until he was sweating. During the break, he held up his mobile phone to video chat with his girlfriend, and thrust his newly engorged biceps in front of the camera. The girl across from him rolled her eyes and said, "I know you are awesome. Remember to bring some strawberries home tonight." He nodded immediately, hung up the video, hummed a song, and started deadlifting again. In fact, there is no standard "fitness boyfriend". To put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary boy with fixed hobbies. If you can accept that his hobbies occasionally come before yours, and he is willing to occasionally adjust his training plan for you, that is better than anything else.
