Who do you relate to?
ByNow I am not talking about your relatives because you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose but you can’t pick your relatives. So then what the hell am I talking about? People say you are your 5 friends. I don’t necessarily agree with that because believe it or not I don’t have all that much in common with my closest friends. About the only thing we have in common is that we enjoy being around each other. Most of my friends aren’t at all into fitness or strength training with the exception of a certain six pack abs somebody (I am willing to bet you can guess who that is). My girl and I virtually have nothing in common with the exception that we love each other. She likes dogs, I like cats. She likes Dancing with the Stars, I like The Ultimate Fighting Championship. She likes Justin Timberlake, I like Judas Priest (those two should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence). Well I guess I shouldn’t say we have nothing in common since she did take quite well to the kettlebell I bought her (she loves turkish getups).
As far as work related people I don’t feel like I have a whole lot in common with most of the trainers I have met…at least the ones that work in a gym. Well at a fitness seminar I went to back in September I was in the presence of several different kinds of trainers. There were some who were great at getting people big. There were some who train celebrities. And there were others who were RKC’s, crossfit affiliates and martial arts trainers. Those were the ones I felt I could relate to. People who flip tires and swing kettlebells and such are the ones I naturally gravitated to. Not to pick their heads for advice but just to chat. I can’t wait to train with them soon.
