Question on Training the wife...

Don’t Train Your Wife | Carl Raghavan.

Thanks, that article explains a lot. I have the tools outback, I have some basic understanding on training, but I am the trainer of last resort, there is nobody else, just me and I cannot do it.

I think Rip would make an exception to you wal. In fact you should try to tell your Wife she should be stronger right now.

You married Sub? Well one thing I have learned from marriage there are certain things I cannot "tell" my Mrs, in the early days yes, but as time moves on we both have become set in our ways. For the Mrs she was in a car accident about 15 years ago and injured her back, she has had various treatments, physio, drugs, cortisone injections, but none really worked, so she is just getting slower day by day, next port of call is a back surgeon and an MRI. Mark is right trying to get her to do any training has not been productive. There are too many emotions that get in way such as frustration on my part, so yes a trainer from outside can divorce himself from those emotions and probably push her to do something, however as I said she will never go to gym, she gave up on the physio because too much pain, she wants a quick fix.

There is no such thing as "a" back operation. There is only a "first" operation.
