Lifting With Ltr

Basic compound movements. Focus more on legs instead of arms.

I trained women professionly. Get the book Strong Curves.

Training principles remain the same. Girls are just generally weaker and progress slower, especially on upper body. Bret Contreras is a good resource, he’s probably the leading world expert in building booties.

I think figuring out something she enjoys is probably the most important key.

Just take her around the room and have her do leg exercises occasionally

She's a human (I assume) so must human based work out programs will work regardless of gender. She's gonna say she doesn't wanna get big or bulky but you just have to assure her that people kill themselves in the gym every day to get as fit as possible and if she somehow accidentally get too jacked she can either a) become a fitness model or b) scale back the workouts, but until then she should go hard.

I have thought long and hard about this with my previous relationships with the women (and male friends who are non-lifters). Why would a man want his LTR to workout with him at the gym, when he's at the intermediate level? I mean no disrespect and I'm trying to get you to think about this more clearly, as in the "why" and not the "how".

From my personal experience, bringing your LTR to a (what I assume, commercial) gym to workout together like you see in those Instagram videos can introduce issues within your relationship:

Getting AMOGed by other men who are much bigger and stronger than you in a place where you're attempting to be a leader in front of your woman. Why would she listen to some intermediate when there's clearly more advanced men who would (in her mind, obviously) know more about this shit than you? Watch this and skip to 3:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt0s_VIg2xc As Pussyshack already stated, "Don't take your bitch to the gym for the same reason you don't put a hen in a fox house". Your frame here would count even moreso then in daily life with her; depending on the gym, it would be like taking your LTR to a male strip club.
It isn't fun. I have trained dozens of people who are looking to get fit, and those are the only ones who make it. I've had friends come up to me and ask me to take them to the gym and they typically don't take it seriously and start flaking on me within 3 months maximum. Obviously, this is anecdotal but I'm sure others can attest to this. What makes a woman any different, adding on a weaker will power and a detest for exercise (she's thin and already has a nice ass, as well as a committed boyfriend, why would she workout now?).
I'm going on a whim here, but you mentioned "getting [your] girl to train", so I'm assuming she's not that all into fitness already. She hasn't asked you to train her. This is prime time to lead by example. You will get stronger and make it, and eventually she'll be drooling over your body unless you fuck up. This creates more dread, and she will be thinking "how can I get to keep this strong, sexy man?" She will come to the conclusion of working out by herself and eventually start asking for your expert tutelage. Or she won't and you can get a woman who's as into fitness as you are.
Asking your LTR to come to the gym with you will serve no purpose in her attraction towards you as asking her in itself loses abundance mentality. Why would you create such an investment of time and energy into one woman, for her to discover her newly raised SMV and branch swing your ass because she simply needs to lose a few pounds where a man requires years of strength training to look decent? Training someone in the gym takes time and effort - you're already asking us how to train a female at the gym - time that could be spent towards you getting a better training program (for you, not her), discovering new foods for better gains, or focusing on your (hopefully acquired) mission. Is the juice worth the squeeze? All this time invested for your woman to have abs or a nicer ass?

If you're still hellbent on taking your woman to the gym, the only time I believe it would be acceptable to ever bring an LTR to the gym is if she already has a strong interest in fitness and if she specifically asks you to take her. This frames the interaction as you leading her, and if you do it correctly then she'll perhaps have more respect for you. Even then, you might want to be stronger than you are now to avoid getting AMOGed too hard.

I won’t train my ltr. She’s allowed to go to the same gym as me but she knows not to interrupt my workouts. The gym is my me time. She knows my gainz are more important than her and if she fucks them up she’ll be kicked to the curb. Tell her to hire a trainer if she’s interested.
