I'd get compliments from my wife on how I look but other than active recovery on the weekends she has never seen me lift or really push myself physically. She watched me do a bodyweight Murph with my 19/21 yo nephews a few months ago and I smoked them. She's been mentioning it 3 or 4 times per week and bragging about it to her friends.

I know it ain't much but it feels good that she noticed

I've been hitting arms really hard this year and she has commented several times about how much bigger my arms are now, which obviously just motivates me to keep working them

I don't know if she is ever impressed with my cardio stuff, she mostly just thinks its dumb

My wife gets it in her head sometimes that she's stronger than me, so I challenge her to wrestle just to put her in her place. When I pick her up and slam her, I can tell she's super impressed.

Other than telling me stuff like I look like Thor (I don't look like Thor (maybe fat Thor from Endgame) but I appreciate the thought), I don't think she understood what I do at the gym.

I videoed myself doing deadlifts at 415 the other day for a form check.

I showed it to her when I got home, and her response was "I had no idea you did stuff like that." Now she's worried I'm going to hurt myself. I had to explain to her that I've been lifting like that for years, so my body is well accustomed to it.

My wife is impressed with the amount of noise my knees make whenever I stand up

She started lifting a few years ago so now she is much more impressed when I lift weights.

She is always impressed when I do random things that require strength. Or when we play fight and I go like ~40%ish.

My wife has never complimented my fitness or expressed to me being impressed, even when I was in elite college athlete shape (not quite that anymore). And to be honest, it sucks. I'm still motivated to keep myself in shape, but I'm sure it would feel great to get the compliment from her.

You should definitely express to your spouse how impressed you are with them if you know they train hard.

my wife compliments me on my appearance more lately because I have been cutting but I think sometimes it makes her feel bad because she will say you are getting too skinny and shite like that but then turn around and say my arms look bigger

she is a walking contradiction sometimes

as far as my lifting, she will brag to friends but she isnt going to compliment me on that. She avoids the subject because she knows i will encourage her to lift and it pisses her off.

My girlfriend very regularly compliments my physical appearance. Almost as much as I do hers We cannot go to the pool or beach, or do anything in bathing suits without first having to get the poison out, and even after, its very difficult for us to keep our hands from roaming under the water. She's in incredible shape, and apparently I'm no slouch either. God forbid she sees me cutting the yard with my shirt off or running the boat with my shirt off and hat backwards....I might not make it to the shower after.

Its a wonderful feeling knowing the person you're in love with is as physically attracted to you as you are to them.

most of my wife's astonishment comes from my extraordinary stamina in the lovemaking arena

Im 49, two days ago. Been lifting pretty hard for the last two years. I find her intermittently grabbing my chest and shoulders and arms. She compliments me often enough to keep me wanting to continue trying to look good in my old age.

My wife is one of these that just accepts the normal body changes that occur when one gets older. She's 48 and I'm 53. I've lifted hard now for at least the last 25 years. I'm in what some would say excellent shape for my age. Some may say I'm in excellent shape for any age. I lift heavy consistently. I'm 6'1 about 180 lbs. and have very little body fat on me, have six pack, etc. I wear 31"/32" jeans, etc. I don't think she really cares that much about it. It may be one of those things where she would care if I wasn't in shape, but she never really says too much about it.

I sort of wish she cared about her own appearance more. Don't get me wrong, she's had three kids and she stays in relatively good shape, but she could work out a little harder to drive better results. If I had my druthers, I'd prefer that she work on herself and making herself look better than to spend any time complimenting me on my appearance. Her improving her appearance would definitely drive me to improving (continuing to improve) my own.

Amen, brother!

As you know, my wife likes to sneak pics of me and post them on Facebook.
