ad
Supp ladies, and gents.... So my wifey decided to start hitting the gym with me..she will start later on this week...
But im kinda lost as to what type of workout routine should i have her on?
Would it be okay if she does all the same compound movements i do? Rep range from 10-12?
Thanks for the help bros and chicks.:)

I do the same routine as Abaddon.. I think it gives me more of an edge and a drive to push as hard as he does. Now I've added cardio that he doesn't do but he takes that time to stretch and warm up... Keep in mind that you will need to be a little most patient in the beginning because she's not going to know how to do most of this stuff.. I spent about 6 months on technique alone... I can't tell you how many times A has went over the proper way of doing something.. Now I have it and my form looks great.. make sure you spend the time showing her the right way.. then she will be able to do it with or with out you.. and she will feel confident. Now that I know what I'm doing.. I get no slack.. it's ass to the grass with squats... it's you go until you can't go anymore and then you push on more out.. I love it! He's my DRIVE! and don't think I don't give it right back.. you always have one more.. (unless you are throwing up.. then you might need some water then another set.. JK)
Thank you for the tips hun! =)...yeah she went with me 3xs this week and it hasnt been so bad i just have to keep correcting her form like u said.. But other than that im enjoying her company, shes learning how to spot me too which i needed.lol.
That's awesome! If you are anything like Abaddon.. he says that he does better when I'm there.. makes him want to push hard.. so he doesn't look like a big P.. LOL You might find that after her form is on that you like having her there.. I look forward to the three days of training I get with A.. Couples that train together.. idk.. get strong together. JK they stay together. Passion about something you can share is awesome.
Lol! No joke it does make me push harder! I love to impress her still so thats whats making it fun.=)..
See now that's what I'm talking about! That's awesome.. Made my heart smile! :-)
=) lol
shirlsguyI hired a PT for my wife, a woman. I have so totally different goals... the PT comes to our home twice a week and it has been a great setup. I look in the mirror at a 14.5 stone man and see: teeny/tiny.... my wife looks in the mirror at 9.5 stone and sees: fat/blob... our visions are so different.
Also, I would probably hurt my wife to put her through the routines I know. It costs about 200-quid/month for a PT, but it has been worth it.
i personally have always trained like the boys do....obviously you dont want to kill her with heavy weight and too many sets...you wanna start her out the same way you wld if you took a long time off...take a week or two to find her 8 to 10 rep range...
i train every body part once a week....i found this the best for gains...
i do 14 sets for quads 10 sets triceps 8 for bi's 13 for chest 14 for back 14 for hams & ass 16 for shoulders ....abs every other day 5 sets....
so if you take my set range and scale it back around 3 or 4 sets per body part except bi's she should be fine to start out...i've trained many women in my life id be happy to help further if you need it
Thanks for the info!:)...i will deff try it out like u said and i'll hit you up if something is not working for her..:)
Girls can workout just like guys! Its best so they build a balanced physique! But make sure you work legs the most important for a girl is there legs and ass.... Also remind her that to judge herself from the mirror not the scale. Because she will gain weight from all the extra muscle and not like the numbers on the scale. Explain to her those are just numbers what really matters is how she looks in the mirror. Also be patient.
BigBmajI pushed mine too hard and now we can't workout together. And we haven't talked in 5 months. So go easy on her.
yes.. see down there.... V
just have her do what you do just make it weight appropriate for someone starting out .. you don't want her to be so sore the following days that she will quit
As for the cardio.. Should i have her do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach? Also, should it be fasted cardio?
first thing in the am with no food will burn fat quicker.. however, the only hard and fast rule I use for cardio is that i never do it when I am lifting .. it is always a seperate session
Yea i always keep do them separate also...but she only has time to go to the gym in the mornings..:/.... Would it be fine instead to workout with weights and then hit the cardio? or should it just be cardio? Cuz her main goal is just loosing Bodyfat... But then again weight lifting helps with fat loss also right?...
hit the cardio first then ... then the weights.. body fat will be lost faster with a clean diet .. ie NO SUGAR and only complex carbs .. that means get rid of ALL breads, rice, starches, pastas... ;s
she ll want to lift weights to be tone otherwise she'll just be soft ...
Gotcha... Last quick question... Since its going to be cardio then weights... Should she eat breakfast then cardio then weights..cuz like i said she'll be hitting the cardio and weigts in the morning cuz she cant have two sessions a day..
Yes she can if it doesn't make her sick to do so ...
Grrrl ;-)
yea just take it easy on her. form first
