Any of You Lift with Your Girlfriends?

My ex gf thought it would be great to have a boyfriend who was a trainer going to the gym with her, until I started correcting her on some of her exercises, then she went off in a huff and sat on the bike in front of the tv!

Apparently me trying to make her session more productive took all the fun out of it lol!

After that we used to go together but do our own thing, at least she didn’t resent the time I spent there.

because women know everything about everything, didn’t you get the memo ?

+1, ex would always wonder where i was and what i was doing, too distracting to stay focused, but to each his/her own

My girlfriend doesn’t like working out with me because apparently I look like I’m dying when I lift. face going red/veins popping out of forehead, she gets worried about me :stuck_out_tongue:

My wife and I train together, she’s a tiny thing but I’ve taught her how to spot me. We are both breaking personal records (PR’s for you acronym junkies), and it helps get us to the gym consistently. In the beginning it was tough because she would come in too forcefully when spotting, it would throw my balance off.

It’s all good now, and she’s loving the results though. I’ve dated girls who are lazy pieces of s*** too, this is MUCH better.

I also like training alone, but love to see the look on peoples faces when my wife grunts out the last heavy rep. I’m sure they wish they could get their girl to train.

tried it for a while. Its just severely of putting.
Especially when your getting your head together for a heavy set and your chick comes over and you have to switch from, “die you fucking cunt, lets fucking lift this shit! EAT IT!!! I’M GONNA GET THIS SHIT DONE!!! URGHHHHHH DIIIIEEEEEE!!!” - mindset over too gf mindset… “hi baby, whats that? no ill be another 20 mins, no dont wait up. yea its okay its not too heavy, yes Ill be fine, i know its my 5th set. no im not going on eliptical, no i wont get massive like arnie, okay Ill see you at home…”

also, you cant peek at the hotties without them knowing theres a hottie and them looking at you trying to see you looking… and garenteed theyll be a hottie when your gf is there…

I think the proper question is, how do you look at the girls on the cardio machines without getting noticed by your girlfriend?

Well, that’s the fun part - we look at them together! She likes girls too.[/quote]

High five for bi girlfriends!

LOL

You nailed it spot on. How do you go from full on rage to sweet talk back to rage? You don’t.

I workout at the same gym, same time as my wife. But we clearly have different goals so I never see her.

Thats exactly what I was trying to write in one sentence but couldn’t quite sum it up!

Spot on

Unless you find that special girl … there really isn’t much point to it …

This thread would be so much better with pictures!

<~~~~~~Wouldn’t work out in the gym w/ her either

My girlfriend is a cardio junkie.

Ha, ha! You’re right. I just snapped this one …

my girlfriend trains as hard as i do, except she adds the stair climber, and interval cardio after weights.

nice perk she buys every other tub of whey!

she told me to get my elbow in tight during one arm rows and to control the weight during the eccentric part of the movement. i was so proud.

It’s nice when the women you love says things to you like “Ain’t nothin’ but a peanut, light weight baby!”

My girlfriend comes to the gym with me. I enjoy her spots over dudes spotting me because guys will yank that shit up when I need help. My girl will let me work to get that shit up.
