Would you do it? Got asked this week by this same girl who asked me like 6 months ago. She has been hitting it hard this entire time so she has the dedication. Had a few females work with me in the past.....always turned into drama it seems. Plus theres the safety issues when you go heavy.....shrugs. I dunno. Im too nice to say lets try it out for a couple weeks and then have to tell her I dont wanna if it doesnt work.

Why would you train with a girl? They are weak. Thats absurd.

Well you can't fail a lift in front of a girl and I am sure you would add a few kgs to the bar to impress her.Also there may be a chance of some extra cardio

Personally, I don't care if they are male or female. But when I'm training it's all about lifting, I'm doing a job. No time to flirt, talk on the cell phone etc...I didn't get to be a pro powerlifter (3 state records and one world record) and a national level bodybuilding competitor by jacking my jaw in the gym.

Best spotters I had were women, beacause they don´t have enough stregnth to help in some exercises, so I know that I was doing the exercise by myself.

If the woman was serious about lifting, and she knew how to properly spot.... It would be great.

It is HARD enough to get a training partner who doesn't dissappear after 3 months....

After all, She is SPOTTING you on the lift, NOT DOING UPRIGHT ROWS.....

I hate that. Use a weight you can get 6 good reps with, and possibly need a little "assistance" on the last rep.

I know....thast why im not conerned with strength cause it doesnt take much to knock out a few more reps after failure......if your lifting right IMO. But like I said, she has been dedicated for 6 months, shrugs.

Why not give her a 2 day trial run, and see if she Motivates and or pushes you.
After all that is what a true training partner is for...
And besides...

The only thing I can see you needing a spot for is any type of bench, and military press...

And if you are using dbells, you can just Drop them..... What do you have to lose?

If you train LIKE a girl... train WITH a girl.

I'm not sexest. I have known more than a few females who have more dedication, discipline and intensity than most of the guys in the gym.......and thats more valuable then if they can keep up with you strengthwise.

Seriously though I wish we could lift together....it would be great to see a women more determined (and much stronger) then me in the weight room.

GB-I'll be in Nebraska all next week (23rd-29th) let me know if you want to lift, even though I am a "girl"

Thanks for the props my sister in iron. If we could, we would. It would be a pleasure to lift with someone who doesn't have 5 o'clock shadow (or a hairy back) for a change...

Your right, it must be hard for you to imagine people who are actually successful at bodybuilding/powerlifting posting on this board. Maybe if you guys realized this was a bodybuilding forum and not a place to talk about how gay you all are you would realize this.

The BEAST · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2006, 08:25:06 AM »

Yeah, I am going to need some motivation when I am out there as my reasons for being there aren't all teddy bears and gum drops. Hopefully I will be able to hook up with Tamee as well. It is essential I don't get behind on my training as the past two months have already had some gaps.

The BEAST · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2006, 08:33:12 AM »

yes to both (I think)

As long as its between sets and she wears deoderant.....I dont give a s**t. But thats just me.

wgtnmuscle1 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 28, 2006, 09:39:56 PM »

well
i would rather have a woman for a training partner then men
it doesnt matter if she doesnt train as heavy
but she can push you more
i have had 2 women in the past as training partners and they push me so hard
it was great
