Hey Funky 
I'm guessing a good 15lb gain in Vegas

Originally posted by P-funk well, since there were no super sets or tri sets in this worout I would say the volume was pretty mild for me. I did the whole thing in under an hour. The volume of my workouts is pretty comparable to the volume that you do also, no? |
Sounds yummy

Originally posted by P-funk I am sick today so this workout kind of sucked. I really couldn;t move the weight that I wanted to. However, on my first exercise, decline bench press, the trainer that was working the floor was this extremly cute girl that I have a huge crush on so she got to spot me (since I fired my training partners....lol). My testosterone levels went throught the roof.....not only did I have to fight the weight I had to fight a ragging hard on (waite a minute did I just say that??). |

We sure do.
Suuuuuuure you didn't.
). She is in really great shape, she is really pretty and has some of the most beautiful eyes and she can squat perfectly (that is really hot!!). But the problem is two fold.....(1) she is 29 years old and I am 24 so, although that doesn't bother me it may bother her.......(2) This would totaly change the scope of the "trainer/client relationship".|
Now, onto a problem..........advice would be greatly appreciated here............I think I am in love with one of my clients!!! Okay, not in love obviuosly, but a crush, yes, infatuated, yes. She is really smart and funny and has an amazing personality. We have a lot of things in common and our training sessions usually end up with us talking and having a good time (along with me kicking her ass ofcourse ). She is in really great shape, she is really pretty and has some of the most beautiful eyes and she can squat perfectly (that is really hot!!). But the problem is two fold.....(1) she is 29 years old and I am 24 so, although that doesn't bother me it may bother her.......(2) This would totaly change the scope of the "trainer/client relationship". Opinions?? |
Thats only 5 years difference and not a big deal. Start out by going for a cup of coffee and talk. Get to know one another. She already knows how damn cute you are so once she sees your charming personality, how smart and mature you are, then it will fall into place. AND if it doesn't, then you didn't lose anything, you still have your trainer/client relationship and probably just made a new friend.
) then you have nothing to worry about.
No offense, its just true. Keep in mind I said most- not all She make also think its weird her trainer is asking her to go for coffee, esp if its only been a few sessions and in turn this may make any future training sessions uncomfortable.

Originally posted by Jodi Thats why you take it slow and go for coffee. Your not "hitting" on her per say. Your making a friendship.

| most stable 29yr old women tend to go for older men as men take longer to mature |
Oh wait, you said stable. 
He was 6 years younger than me
and then when she says I am hungry blah blah blah. You say "Well I am heading over to ________(insert food place nearby here) now cause I am in the mood for a _________(insert food here). You are welcomed to join me, if you want.

Originally posted by P-funk I have been trainign her for a while actually (about 3 months). Typically during our saturday session (she is usually my usually last client of the day) she is complainig about how hungry she is and I, ofcourse, am complaining about how hungry I am. She always asks me were I am going to eat and where she should go to eat. I tell her some of the healthy places to eat that are near the gym but have neglected to just say "well I am going here, would you like to join me?" because, like leslie said, I don't want to look "unprofessional" or make it an akward situation. Also, the other day one of the other trainers girl friend was sitting there grilling me about my diet and telling me that I am ridiculously anal. Then my client today, the one I like, was asking me what I had for breakfast. I recited my breakfast to her and she told me that I sounded like a robot and that I should lighten up with my diet and give myself a break. I then said "yeah, this other girl was making fun of me yesterday about that" She then quickly fired back in a somewhat jelous tone saying "wait a minute, what girl is this?"

Originally posted by Leslie Hmm...I now see your confusion. First the hungry complaint may be a hint. Or she just may be hungry. Second, she must like you- even if its a small amount because women are jealous over other women when it comes to guys we like. And for her to show it...well thats a good sign for you. Since you have been training her for a while, I;d say this Saturday work her out extra hard so she is hungry and then when she says I am hungry blah blah blah. You say "Well I am heading over to ________(insert food place nearby here) now cause I am in the mood for a _________(insert food here). You are welcomed to join me, if you want.Her answer will give you all the answers you need. And being she complained about being hungry- you didnt just come out of the blue and ask her for coffee. Good Luck
|
PERFECT Leslie. Its similiar like the coffee idea. Then its not really a "date" but an invitation and the opportunity to get to know each other more.
|
Originally posted by P-funk Yeah, that is what I was thinking, she always says she is hungry and asks me were she should go, almost every session. The only thing that makes me think age may be a problem is because one day last month in between sets she asked, out of the blue "patrick, how old are you?" to which I replied "24". She then said Twenty Four!!!! No way!!" I said "yeah, how the hell old did you think I was?" She said "I always thought you were thirty two." "Thirty two I said?? I look that old?? This is really bad!" She then said "No, I thought thrity two because your shoulders are so big. I can't believe a 24year can have shoulders like that!" |
She's still interested.

Originally posted by rock4832 For the age factor, my wife is 4 1/2 years older than me. It wasn't a problem because she didn't know until we were already pretty close. Good luck P-funk, sometimes I miss those days but I wouldn't trade what I've got for the world!

). I feel better today, I took some alieve last night and rested my shoulder and it feels great so I am going to go in and train today. | Hey man, just because I act like a 20 year old kid doesn't mean I'm one. |
|
Originally posted by P-funk thanks (lmao...little buddy ). I feel better today, I took some alieve last night and rested my shoulder and it feels great so I am going to go in and train today. It's not even that you act like a kid. It was just they way that I pictured you in my head?
|
Its that the way it always works. First you can't find a single person to spend time with then all of a sudden when your about to make the move and go for someone, they come out of the woodwork. Sounds like a player whether on purpose or not. She sounds young.

Originally posted by perfecto hehe i just stopped by to checkout P-Funk's training journal and i read that whole thing, damm your a chic-magnet P-Funk, what more could a guy want than a whole bunch of PT chix talkin about him in the lockers, whilst in their bras and undies hehe. P-Funk you should have some serious fun with all of them !!! Trainers, clients, the whole kibang!! hehe just a thought |

Originally posted by perfecto In question with your 'chaos week' wat are your rep ranges like there? 8-10??? Im also not to sure about the differences between supersets, tri-sets, etc but ill have a look around and find out. Also you have alot of funky names for exercises, like 'spider rows' and 'unilateral bla blaz' hehe i gotta get down wit the lingo.. Also to get to your knowledge in all of this bb stuff have you taken forms of schooling and education? im just asking cause ive been offered a job training people at a small gym and i thought this would be a great chance to learn alot more |
| I totally agree with Jodi P-Funk. Go for it!! |

Originally posted by P-funk I don't know what to do. I really like both of them but I can;t figure out which one likes me. Actually, I have such poor self esteem, I still don;t think either of them like me. I just find it hard to believe that someone can be interested in me. |
. They are a whole experience in themselves!
I kicked ass
. So now I my up and running again. I 'll try and post my workouts later.| I like your workout, and you have quite the interesting thread here |
| Yo Pat what is all this sappy ass love bullshit thats going on around here? I came to your journal to try and get some ideas on ways to torture myself...instead i'm reading about you bitching that three chicks want to ride the Pat express. |

The Pat express Dude, chicks are like workout splits...they need to be cycled Let the flaming begin hehe. Men are like Beer. The first sip is always bitter. No matter how many varieties you try, they are essentially the same, tasteless, full of bubbles, destabilize your metabolism and give you a headache.

Good for you! How's your BF%
Given that your like me, vertically challenged, you must be fucking huge!

Originally posted by P-funk Yeah, I am trying to move form brooklyn to the Upper eastside which is super expensive. I am going to have to get a second job so that I can affored to live there and maybe even a third so that I can try and pay for college to work on my masters hopefully starting this summer. |
| let me get this straight...u are a personal trainer, have ur own apartment, and also attend college???geez, |

| How much do PT's make in New Yawk anyway? If you don't want to answer, feel free....but I'm interested to know compared to here in Canada. |
. I used to work at a club in brooklyn that charged $40/hr and I saw $22 of it, so at least they were cutting me half. If I go to someones apartment to train them or take them to a provate training gym I charge them the full $70 and get it in cash. There are other really high society clubs that charge a lot of money.| What are you working to get your masters in? |
I found that when I do extensions first it really warms up my leg muscles, and is eaqsier to squat heavy.

Good luck I'm still not spiking though
....I am speaking about guys that are afraid to bulk up). If I was a women I would be scared to bulk also. I just say don't worry about it. You are smart and know how to diet so you just need to take the bulking phase on the chin and suck it up. I can't tell you how many guys I see try and bulk up and then realize they don't know how to diet, and in most cases they don't know how to eat properly anyways, and end up just being fat and upset.
and usually I would cut right after a cheat to fell better but I started bulking so I still feel like a fat cow.
Trust me on that one. Sad but true. You'd think my metabolism would skyrocket by now but Ohhh Nooooo, not me, its as slow as the day I started all this. but he will be back in 3 weeks and 2 days That's when I'm moving
That's cute So your going home in a few weeks for Christmas then eh? Well, I'll wave to you as I drive through Ohio on my way to Michigan with my moving truck Actually I'm leaving the day after Christmas and then we are stopping at Scott's parents in Michigan to say hi for Christmas and then off to AZ to the warm, sunny weather 
I don't even want to think about what I cooked anymore or I WILL be a just from thinking about it.
