I’m 3 months deep into Greyskull LP and my wife has seen the results. While I could have cut more fat my arms are thicker noticeably and my upper body is much more muscular.
My wife wants to join me at gym.
She’s an Asian gal so her goals are basically to get thin. She doesn’t want huge bubble butt (and neither do I, you don’t marry an Asian lass if that’s what your want!).
I have explained the concept of min protein, and cal counting to reduce fat. She was labouring under spot reduction myth.
So, she was on about a PT which I think is ridiculous given her goals. She is 5ft 1/2 inch and 105 lb. She wants to be about 95-97lb and “tone up arms and possibly abs”
I’ve designed her this but hopefully some of you guys have experience training women.
I tried her with free weights but she hated it, she likes machines and I think at her level of expertise and requirements machines are a good shout:
all 2 sets of 8-12, progressive overloading.
seated overhead press
Seated chest press
Row machine
Leg press
Bicep curl
other than that I’ve said it’s all about protein 1-2g per lb and cal deficit.
Are OHP and chest vital for women, would I be better off having one of those and replacing with leg curl?
