Starting to realize that I gotta date me a chick who's with the gym lifestyle.

Been with my current girl for almost two years, and she's put on that relationship weight. About 20 pounds heavier than when we met. Told her she needs to make some changes because the gym's a big part of my life, so she got a membership. But she refuses to touch the weights with me and is always telling me "I'm craving <insert bullshyt food> here" and then I feel like the bad guy if I say naw, I'm not trying to fukk up my gains.

She's great in all other aspects, but I'm starting to think it's a dealbreaker. Anyone else been in a similar situation?
It's hard as hell, but it's hard to meet great women out there. I've had to cut off a few women though due to them hating me being in the gym or because they couldn't respect me trying to eat clean and constantly complain about my gym time or not drinking with them. It was too easy to succumb to the temptation so I had to cut them off but that was in the early stages of the relationship. If you been with her for two years and she great you just got to keep trying to wear her down and explain to her how important being/getting in shape is to you.

I dont know how yall work out every day man
variety. some ppl split weights and cardio on different days, then there's shyt like yoga/pilates, so it's not like people are putting in 90 minutes everyday to do a comprehensive routine (weights, cardio, flexibility, etc). i personally just try to be active everyday, including simple 3 mile walks every now and then

I dont. I found my goat schedule though.

Monday - upper body
Tuesday - lower body
Wednesday - off
Thursday - upper body
Friday - lower body
Sat - off
Sun - off


Ive been doing hypertrophy/building the first two days and power lifting the other two days. Increase strength while building. Coupled in with IF, this shyt has done wonders for me

If Michael Phelps is really training for 2020 we might have to add another goat to the M trifecta :lawd:
