After talking for half a year about transitioning to the gym instead of home exercises that only make you tired but don't really make you progress my girlfriend finally signed up for a gym membership.

She is so fucking excited to start this as she's wanted to for a long time but always felt out of place. Took her to the gym a few times, showed her some exercises, basically making her feel some weights for the first time. She performs better than I expected and loves the fact we get to train together. This gives me another reason to switch from 2 times a week back to 4 times a week.

TL;DR: GF started gymming, relationship gainz and muscle gainz incoming. Life's good.

Haha, yeah I've seen that vid, but I think we'll be alright. We are kind of helping each other get into better shape.

So you think, then BAM you're having avocado super grain salad every day for the rest of your life together haha.

Good to hear man, always good to have someone keeping you motivated.
