    Believe it or not.. Youtube is a great resource for lifting (form, workout ideas, and motivation). There is a growing female population posting videos as well whether it's traditional "butt blaster" workouts, to Olympic weightlifters, power lifters. (These girls are not "manly" either. Many of them compete at sub 135 lbs, look great, and still got dat butt).

    I think I added everyone here, if I missed you let me know!! Thank you for responding!! I did my first 5x5 today and calculated my IIFYM to make sure I'm eating my way to toned as well. Felt like I barely did anything, but I've been assured that this is how you start... that it's important to get your muscles moving and used to the work one step at a time so I'm excited that it didn't leave me in horrible pain. Looking forward to tomorrow and my B workout!

    If you need help with workout routines you can go on bodybuilding.com and type in what you wanna workout. For example, shoulder workout, arm workout, etc. and it should give you a list of different workouts! That's where I would start and never be afraid to lift heavy. :)

    been lifting for a year. don't do 5x5 or curves or what have you as I use a trainer/nutritionist who tailors my program to my needs but basically I lift 4xweek and do 1 cardio session (boxing for me, hate cardio machines and running) and have mostly active weekends.

    open diary.

    BTW - am bulking atm because of a comp later this year so eating at a surplus not at a deficit.

    Feel free to add me too...I lift heavy but use bodybuilding.com programs and then modify for the plethora of injuries/issues LOL. I do love lifting, though...had a nice NSV yesterday when a basketball player asked to work in on my plated leg press and he had to take some plates OFF.

    But yeah, several good lifting groups here...and bodybuilding.com is a great resource :smile:
