Now she says she's bored, wants to get stronger and use kettlebells. Problem is, I'm used to doing 5x5 barbell training and I have no idea how to apply that to kettlebell training, or even if I can, especially since all she has is a 20 lb. and 25 lb. weight.
Thoughts, /fit/? In b4 >girls don't lift.

Tried. The only gym in the area has an expensive membership she refuses to pay.
Polite bump.

Get her to do bodyweight variations. Also, buy her a weight vest.

Yup, this honestly. Or go late enough at night that no one is at the counter. Her progress will pretty much stop if she starts using those dipshit girl programs. Even the "good" kettlebell shit is badly inferior to even a halfassed weight session.

Kettlebell training is probably p good for her then. Tsatsouline has a bunch of stuff on kettlebells and bodyweight that work well together, I think enter the kettlebell is good to start and tells you what weight of kettlebell to buy to start off with.
Kettlebells are more like cardio in a lot of ways, you can and probs should train them nearly every day (one maybe two rest days a week) and that's probably the biggest difference you'll have to get over between that and a 5×5 off the bat. Tsatsouline has written tons on the differences between the barbell and kettlebell paradigms.

Mirin' quads. Pic of her body before?

>>35135555
The quads you got here are nicer than your quads will ever be.
Tell your girlfriend to do her own damn research and make her own damn routine. If she can't be assed to learn how to work out on her own, she's eventually going to fail. Do you plan her meals too? Hold her hand crossing the street? Jesus fucking christ, let her be a person and develop her own sense of agency.
Quit treating women like innocent, fragile little figurines.
