Husband Giving Me Unwanted Advice; help

The textbook learning is good A-Jock but I still think you learn most of this stuff by doing it. You learn what works and what doesn't work. You observe and listen to others. And if you do it long enough you do become expert at it. And this enables you to help others design workouts that are useful to their situation. Fitness training is not rocket science, although some try to make it out to be just that. There are alot of certified trainers out there who don't know their asses from first base who are taking advantage of people for big bucks just because the people think they are experts due to their certification. And the reason they don't know their stuff is because all they were interested in in the first place was just getting "such and such certified" next to their name on some business card. But they "learned" for the test and immediately forgot it once it was over. I see this all the time and it's why I place little emphasis on the textbook part of being a trainer. That's just my opinion.

They are still social concepts, right or wrong. Women who are overly muscled to the point of looking like guys are not considered attractive by most people...what can I say? Every society has their concept of what is nice-looking and what isn't.

Think you and I are off topic in this thread!

First try...

"Honey, I know your workouts work for you and I adore the shape you're in... but I don't want to look like you and I don't think you want me to look like you either."

Then if that doesn't work..

some night while he's lying in bed, lovingly roll over and cover him with a pillow and beat him savagely over the head. and say "when I want advice from you I'll squeeze it from your head!"

Always glad to help.
