GF and I: training...I'm so proud of her!

[bignate73]

today started my workout with a makeshift band setup. used the old red bands from the aerobics room and looped em around the squat rack for some band resisted squats.

myself:

315+ band for sets of 3

gf:

85+ band for sets of 12
(she usually squats 135 for 8)

I hit some high reps sets of leg presses

then took her into the aerobics room for some walking lunges into box squats.

she hit 3 sets of 100 ft with 40 lb bar, immediately into 10 reps of box squats with an actual pause to release the hip flexors

immediately into a set of band leg curls

then we finished up with band pull throughs.

all in all a fun day. its fun to have a girlfriend who isnt afraid to squat(no pun intended), work hard and sweat buckets.

speaking of her sweating buckets....gotta go. she caught me writing this.

you are a lucky man

i tried to get my girlfriend to squat for a while

now all she does is pilates once, maybe twice a week

and she complains about her weight

(and her diet is way off too -- very inconsistent)

i need to get her reading this board asap to dispel some of the myths she carries around in her head

We're both lucky BN, I recently got my girl into the gym with me. She's now squatting, deadlifting, and tossing around weight that most guys at my gym can't touch. She's only 5'4" and about 120 lbs. She loves going and continues to progress like mad. No wonder I'm marrying her

I got my wife to start free-weight squatting and to deadlift. She amazed herself when she found out how much she likes it compared to machines. (For legs) She impressed me too. She started right off with no gloves, straps or a belt. That's my girl...

Congrats Thaibox on your upcoming marriage. Got a date set yet?
