wife needs workout

[buddha3]

I was wondering if any of you ladies could help give me a workout for my wife. She wants to put on 10 lbs of muscle. I'll need to know exercises/sets/reps so that I can assist her in her training. I would really appreciate the help.

It says on your quote that you're bulking- have her do your same workout!! i work out with my fiance, and he is HUGE- we just do different weights, but we do the same amount of sets, the same exercises, and we stay in the same rep range. It is a lot of fun. If your wife is just starting out, start her on basic movements first (ex. if you're doing squats, put her on the smith machine for squats). working out with my man is the best thing that ever happened to me, i put on about 12-15 lbs. of natural muscle in 3 months!!

thank you mandy for taking the time to answer my thread. We started this week and I have her doing the same things except that she is doing 12 reps for everything right now because she hasn't worked out for a while

That sounds awesome. After Frank and I hit a plateau for muscle growth, we started doing everything 4-6 reps, really heavy, and it got us out of it. I saw A LOT of growth during that time. Just a little advice for when she gets bored- I thought it was fun to see how strong I really was :)
