So recently I set up a workout regiment for my girlfriend because she wanted a better and healthier body. It's been a month, and there's some change overall. However, she's upset that she has lost her butt a bit after working out and eating less and more healthy. I'm not exactly sure what to do.
I know I'm asking for a lot but she wants to:
Lose overall body fat
Build at least lean muscle
Reduce her hip dips
and keep her butt fat
What exactly can she do to get where she wants?

She can hire a trainer. If you help at all you're fukked. End of story.
Quite frankly I'd rather pay a trainer to give my wife sh*t training advice than argue with her myself. lol, but dead serious. You cannot win.

In all seriousness, women are always right. Your opinion is only helpful if it aligns with hers. Your lifting advice is only helpful if it's what she already wanted to do.
You are young and have many years to figure this out. Good luck mate.

Believe me I do. I truly think she's beautiful but she has no confidence in herself. But thanks for the advice.Originally Posted by davisj3537

OP your gf's goals are contradictory she can't choose to drop body fat and keep her ass.
And she will have a hard time gaining muscle and dropping body fat.
You can point her to the nutrition and workout sections of this forum.. If she reads them she'll have a good head start
I'm rather lucky that my gf is happy to have me write her a program and takes form advice too then XD.Originally Posted by davisj3537
Though I agree in the case the she 'knows' something about training already... Then your ****ed.5 day full body crew

You cannot fathom how accurate this information is. Ive been married seven years and I have learned to never, ever attempt to coworkout with my wife when it comes to the gym and things I know more about than her.
The most diabolical thing is when she asks me for advice on a subject and I go to give it to her. Its a trick.

Lmao, I can relate to this. They want the help and support but they don't want to listen to your lifting words of wisdom, it's really almost a lose/lose situation. My wife must have listened to some of it though because she lost about 30lbs when I was helping her. Don't give up bro, they are listening, they just don't want to admit we know what we are talking about.Originally Posted by davisj3537

LMAO @ this thread.
Re-read post #2, opie, and then run for the hills.No brain, no gain.

only thing a gf is good for at the gym is a spot when you have nobody else
(semi-srs)
she has contradictory goals that aren't achieved overnight
if anything i hear bret contrera's strong curves is a good program for women, lol
