Hey guys - some basic questions

[superqt4u2nv]

You might get injured doing anything in a gym proper form is taught and she starts light is slow controlled she will not injure herself. IMO good mornings are one they best ham and lower back exercises out there. BM don't worry about stepping on toes we just have diffrence of opnion is all. I still love you.

I agree w/ all the points the ladies have made but the big ones that stand out after a scan of this thread are the ones QT makes
- Ima slap you if you use the word "tone" again
- your workout looks fine for a female but its going to start w/ form and light weights. Whether you go light weights/high reps or heavier weights / lower reps IMO she should feel like she's hitting the right muscles - i.e. its row exercise - you feel the 'row' muscles - so she knows what exercise is supposed to hit - I also think its useful to show how other exercises can do the same thing so she doesn't associate one and only way to do something (E.g. row = BB row, cable row, 1 arm cable row, 1 arm db row, machine row, etc.)
- personally I use GMs to stretch & warm up because I have really tight hip flexors - she's more than 1/2 my age so shouldnt' have any of my issues -- I vote dont' be afraid of any particular type of exercise - just learn the correct form and keep it tight. The only thing I'd suggest NOT to do is behind the head military press - very rough on your rotator cuff and doesn't just 'go away'

As far as diet - you need to honestly quanitify what it is she thinks she's eating now. I suggest have her load a typical day's menu on a food counts program like www.fitday.com and see what is the total cals & macro ratios - %protein / fat /carb.

What other activity does she do? Still do gymnastics or cheerleading? If yes then I'd include calories to support some amount of endurance training - as well as lifting - i.e. make the carbs higher. Generally cals I'd go 12 x her body wt total - I cut on 1750 and I"m usually around 155 lb. Macro ratio around 40% protein / 30% carb/ 30R% fat and see how that goes for at least 3 weeks, see how she feels - sleeps well? not tired or feels burnt out from training or hungry all the time? Should feel more energy, etc. Otherwise tweak the ratios and possibly total cals.

See, that is what is so great about having so many experienced and knowledgeable people to talk to here: there is no ONE WAY to get wherever it is that you are going. Here you can get solid advice from every angle. If *this* doesn't work or she doesn't like *that*, there is always the *other thing*. There is no one magic bullet, whether we are talking fitness OR diet. The one caveat we all agree upon is - CONSISTENCY IS KEY. In other words, don't give up just because *this* didn't work or *that didn't work*...



Oh yea - and one other caveat:

86 the "tone" word from your vocabulary. That shit annoys ALL OF US.

Alright, okay. The word "tone" is gone. My most humble apologies. Thanks again for all the great advice. I went over it all with her on Friday and then went tot the gym with her over the weekend and we wnet over proper form and everything. I have to say, she was by far the easiest person to show that stuff to of anyone I've ever trained. I'm guessing it's due to her being athletic in the first place, but she has a strong lower back and has better form than I do on everything. It's really annoying but in a good way.

I also told her about the drinking. She didn't like it and had to think about it, but her and I made an agreement. I'll cut back on the weed if she cuts back on the drinking. Neither of us are doing it for the other person which I like (so if she quits I'm still going strong) - it's something we both want to do. I plan to save an extra $200 a month and hopefully put that towards some long-term investments. I started at 26 and while I'm still very new to it, I'm trying to get into the investing thing and planning for my future and all that crap. This will facilitate that and I'm down.

Anyways, long story short she went out on the weekend with friends and didn't drink. I'll let you guys know what happens but I personally always find it exciting when someone actually listens to my advice and appreciates it so I wanted to pass that on since that is what has happened with the advice you all were kind enough to take the time to offer. Holy run-on sentence. You guys rock!

Good for both of you...

Now post up some pics. Of your girl that is. LOL

Alright, I'll put up her facebook pic since if she finds out, I doubt she'd be pissed over that. She is thinking of getting into fitness competing since she's too old for gymnastics now, or so she tells me.

There's another pic of her in there that might give you an idea of her bodytype. Uh...ignore the rest of the photos. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.

OMG she is cute as hell dude great score With her background she woluld do very well in fitness. As for your comment on the training in general I find most women pick up form very well. I dont train anyone regularly but always help friends when they ask female friends that I help always have much better form then the dudes.

That makes sense. Dudes suck with form - they arch their backs like mother fuckers when trying to show them proper form for deads of bent-over rows.

And thanks.

Go to Dragondoor.com Check out "the Goddess Kettlebell Workout"....you guys can each get one, get the DVD...and watch her get STRONG as hell, very well defined....and not bulk up.... I use it.... I don't use very many machines any more. Just something "different" for you to consider. I use HIIT type interval training for cardio AFTER my workout and in the evenings (I work out in AM).

Got any pics of her? How tall (or short) is she??

Just a thought... maybe women are better w/form because they aren't so concerned about their cocks shriveling because they can't move as much weight as the next guy?

Oh wait a minute....

*checks thong*



Nevermind.... I STILL gots the biggest cock in the gym.


















As you were.
