well after years of trying to get her to work out, my beautiful wife looks like she is finally going to do it.
I was thinking of a 3 day routine for her, based on squats , bench and deads.
She is 30 yo about 5'10 around 60kg. Her goals are figure rather than BB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated |

are u being serious? i mean, if her goals are NOT to be a BB...but to retain a feminine form, perhaps she shouldn't be focusing on deads and press. just my humble opinion. i train or have trained a lot of females...best advice can't be given without a photo, or at least a detailed description of her "problem" areas. we all have 'em. and also, a little better idea of her specific goals. i'm usually VERY up front with my trainees. i'm sure your wife doesn't need much improvement...but it's wonderful that she's getting involved. good luck bro.

mate I have no idea about how females should train, but I presumed that a basic routine around the core lifts would be the way to go.
She doesn't have any real problem areas, and she has never done any sort of resistance training before so i have no idea how her body will respond.
As far as specifc goals, she is just keen to add a little muscle all over, whilst shedding a bit of BF

Why would a woman want to avoid core lifts? That doesn't make sense. It's not like they will automatically make her get all huge and muscular. Whether she grows huge muscles or not depends more on her diet and whether she uses any assistance. Personally, I've talked to more than a couple women who love squats and deads.

I do a lot of SLDL for hammies as well. And rack deads for lower back. I agree, I don't think she has to worry about getting too muscular unless she has some help from supps. Just my opinion...

i never said anything derog about squats...everyone should do them if they can. but for most women who want to retain a feminine appearance, deads and even too much bench press is NOT key to their fitness regiment. again, it totally depends on what shape you're striving for. best bet: have her simply ask for a few recommendations from one or two of the other ladies at her gym; tell her to pick who she talks to based on their workout routines and level of dedication. i'll try to dig up some old websites that help too. cheers.
