Would you go to the gym/lift with your girl?

[JCbabi]

Nice. So not that strong. She can do 10 pull ups though

Yeah i can only do like 2 or 3 on a good day. I'd still say her squats are pretty strong tho.

[xvicknumber7x]

I would probably get tired of it really quick. I'm just in a different mode at the gym. The most similar experience I can compare it to is when I lift with my sister (like once a month) when I wanna push her or teach her some new things, but those days are always the days I feel like I need a break or a slight deload.

[stratoo]

No gf, but she would get bored as I do way too much volume.

[bben147a]

nooooooooooo way

i live with her. gym is my time.
i don't go running with her. running is her time.

and i ****ing hate running.

[D0cFreezy]

i instruct her and its fun, we are both on madcow

[BulldogVTX]

My wife was one of my workout partners back when we were in college. We both loved it. We held each other accountable to get there at least 4 days a week. Probably one of the best and most reliable partners I ever had! Sadly she stopped training when we had our first kid. It's been about 7 years, and she's back in the gym again! I got her started on the Jamie Eason's Live Fit training program, and she's loving it! She's not ready to go the gym with me, but she's training every day in my basement gym (which is nothing to sneeze at). So I train first thing in the morning at my gym (Anytime), and then around noon I meet her in the basement to get her through her workout! Today she squatted 145 for 8!

My wife goes with me. Love them yoga pants and hnnnngg when she's doin them squats. She can probably squat more than half the misc fa.

[eglionz]

I go with my husband sometimes but I prefer to go alone because its a more casual hobby for him and I like to do a cardio session which he rarely does.

-cliffs
- I take too long

[Rambosmum]

Gf been a long time cardio bunny and 2 weeks ago i managed to encourage her to join me on leg day and she enjoyed it! So i decided to spend my whole leg session helping her on squats and now i insist she joins me on all future leg days. Win-win for when she acquires dat dere squatters ass. Still make her spot me on db shoulder press after legs though lol

[Softworn]

men are the worst to do anything with..or them even see u do ****.. lmao 95% of them will try to immediately show u what ur doing wrong..or try to make u do it their way. in any circumstance

You need some lessons in trolling. (srs)

Yes, irony intended.

[deepoil]

My wife and I workout together sometimes but we are on different schedules. I enjoy it but I prefer doing it alone. No distractions. She did spot me once or twice on some heavy lifts. It didn't work out. Couldnt get it up...

[Aircommander91]

[Torpeda]

Yep, but only to carry my towel and water bottle.

[gorbeth]

What? I've never had a bad time lifting with a guy. Are you doing it wrong?

[Gee2113]

I would actually love to but were currently in a ldr so we cant. We do motivate each other though.

[Stillflexin]

My GF will work out with me sometimes. When she does it's either leg day or cardio day.

[jetnut]

lmao

it's really ok with me. He's one of those hunter/fisher, harley guys, so its not like he's not active. I mean he actually enjoys chopping down trees. And trust me he treats me pretty great.

meh, not enough for me...
im the kinda guy who strives to be as perfect as i can possibly be if im with soome girl. cuz i want her to look at me in every possible aspect and say "****, i cant get any better than that" whether its being thick, tight and joocy or treating her well or whatever.

if i can make her think im the best, how would she be able to cheat on me or breakup with me nomsayin?

[pghchick]

A few months ago I went with an ex (was a bf at the time). There is something kind of sexy about lifting together but he started telling me things in opposition of what my trainer instructed me to do. I get my workout routine from my PT. I think he wanted to impress me with his knowledge but I didn't want to change my workout for his ego. What to do when that happens?

And OP, I understand the not fitting in because lifting is not popular among women. But I grew up with 5 brothers so I am used to pushing myself into predominantly-male activities. And I have to deal with the occasional peppering too.

[Flyingshark]

If she wants to work in with me, as long as she tries her best; by all means. Else, if she wants to be a cardio bunny, we can meet up when we're done our respective workouts.

It would just depend on who was right in the situation. Trainers give misinformation quite a bit. That could be a thread itself, I'm sure there'd be some crazy stories. I've heard a lot of trainers say some really messed up stuff, so I think it just depends.

[pghchick]

Don't feed that troll MichelleLnne. She's been reeking havoc all over these forums. It is embarrassing.

[rlldawg]

wouldnt mind it but would want to do my own thing for the majority of the workout.

for guys(atleast imo) you kind of just want to zone out and do your own thing for that time

the only reason i even want other guys to workout with is so they can spot me or what not and maybe challenge eachother to do better.

honestly id be happy if the damn gym was 100% empty everytime i went lol

so what your telling me is that you pepper your angus occasionally?

but totally understandable... i like to comment from time to time because i do alot of broscience research, but i hate when a PT tells the girl to train 3x per weak and to 2 sets or some ****... they have to go full on 3 -4 sets 3 or 4 exercises per body part

[getout87]

tried in the past with an ex that said she wanted to learn the barbell movements. she wouldn't do them correctly because they "hurt" too much, so I stopped offering to help.

[bigtex89]

Good idea, I really need someone to hold my towel and bcaas

[RaiseD2HarD]

I used to take my ex-gf and my baby boy when we couldn't get a sitter. I'd train first and then look after baby so she could train.

It only worked cos my son was still not able to walk so we could just sit him in the buggy or take him out and hold/play with him.

[Strizzz]

She pretty much goes her way and I go mine. We'll work in with each other during squats occasionally, but that's about it. Funny giving her sh*t about her form every once in a while though even if it's right lol.

[arn710]

I used to workout with my wife quite a bit

She does more of her own thing now though

[Vagoda]

My gf and I go to the gym together 4 times+ a week.

I showed her Jamie Eason and she has been doing her workout plans. She actually really likes to lift weights and has great form. She always wanted to lift, but didn't feel comfortable being a girl among a bunch of guys at the dumbell rack. We keep each other accountable.

We lift 4 times a week then will add a kettlebell classes, mashup classes, or even hot yoga.

That feel of having a gf that loves the gym and loves to lift.

WTF

please, go. This has nothing to do with the topic other than you wanted to rant about your PT vs. BF workouts.
