So, historically, I've done BFLs pyramid lifting scheme, but ran across this today

    I'm not an expert but it looks good to me :). I'm doing NROLFW right now...but want to get to a split similar to this next, probably in January.

    Good luck!

    It depends(tm) on what you goals are and what your current training level is now. It looks like it's trying to combine hypertrophy and strength programs into one.

    I did SS. Very effective workout. I got bored after about 10 weeks though because I like a bit of change in my routines.

    It is supposed to be two days of hypertrophy and two days odd power lifting.

    Ah I can't follow any of these workouts! They give me anxiety. My mind doesn't work that way. But then I get stressed because I'm not following any specific workout besides the one I've made for myself.

    I'm more new to heavy lifting that not-- I'm currently in 21 Day Fix and plan to go on with 4 - 6 weeks of German Volume training. Afterwards though, I was looking for a good lifting routine, and this looks pretty legit from what I have been able to read up on... I'd love to see some more people's opinions! I had actually just posted a thread inquiring about Erin Stern's 4 Week Elite Body program (because it looked to incorporate a lot of lifting [squee!]) but I think I like this more!! ;)

    If you're able to deal with the same exercises all the time it looks fine to me. This isn't how I prefer to workout but everyone has their own thing. I'm more of a full body workout gal and I need variety. I also have a PT so once or twice a week I get a completely different workout and only have one or two other weight lifting days to deal with on my own.

    This is great. How did you determine where to start out on weights? Right now I only have up to 12.5lb dumbbells & a 15lb kettle-bell. I think I need more & higher weights.

    No I just think she made it with women in mind. It is a whole website for women to ask questions, with nutrition, and advice for women.

    I really like the periodized layout on the big compounds but I dont like those for the accessory lifts. Heavy 4-6 leg extensions and curls would make my joints hurt especially after all the other heavy lifts in the same day.

    so keigels and pink things.

    anything a man does to train will work for a woman. There are no "men's" exericses" or "women's exericse- there are exericses.

    The sooner we stop catering to this myth with "women's only" sites for training- the sooner we can get off it and actually train women.

    It's 'kegels' and I don't see how bringing that up helps the topic other than for shock value
    :(

    I dont think its awful if a girl is doing workouts 'made for women' whether it's crap or not in the beginning. If it keeps them curious and learning and active, you have my vote - go forth and smile and feel great and get smarter! Someday, your thoughts might change and you might need a program that would work better for you, or maybe this IS the next step! Either way, well done on trial and erroring your way through, its a great way to keep learning.
