This is why so many of us say "lift heavy weights."

    I am trying to figure out the whole weight train thing!!

    Nothing to figure out really...do a solid beginner program like New Rules of Lifting for Women, Starting Strength, or Strong Lifts 5x5. I personally believe in these types of strength programs to build a foundation of strength before moving on to other types of lifting routines. The key is to do a solid program that is intelligent and progressive in nature and follow the program and be consistent.

    I'm in the middlel of NROL4W and I love it! Only thing is...I'm already worried about what I'm going to do for lifting when it ends. Do you have any suggestions of programs after I complete NROL4W?

    but, but, crossfit will make me huge. :D

    I think a bunch of posters need to see this.

    I'm joining a CF box in July. I'm hoping it does exactly that.

    Heh, good luck! Crossfit ain't my bag, but I think this triathlon stuff is. Work in some oly lifts, and I'll be good to go. Strut around, chest and leg hair out, saying... what's up ladies.
