    Not really sure why you'd exclude women, lol. I guarantee you a women who has achieved the goals you're currently going after is going to have some good advice, because they don't progress much at all unless everything is dialed in.

    Anyway, I've never done anything like what you're describing, though it does ring a bell... I could swear I heard of some people doing that. It might have been for some kind of rehab though, or just general conditioning. If your goal is hypertrophy, I expect you'll be better off sticking to some established routine like 5x5 or a three/four day split. Especially as a beginner.

    First, apologize to the women or you'll never get all the feedback you need. My wife is 5'0" /125 lbs with a 125 bench and 230 dead-lift so take some advise and edit your post.

    Truth...they wont let anything go, they have to be right, and they have to be involved unless its about them and then no one but women are allowed.

    Well, honey, if ya'll weren't always wrong they wouldn't always be right. :flowerforyou:

    How about he just posted without the qualifier and ignored the posts by women.


    Now...what about that sammich.

    And then we all walked into the distance, bathed in the warm glow of the setting evening sun, holding hands and quietly singing "kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya...."

    Oh, I'd love one now you're offering. Salt beef on rye would be fabulous.

    Baby.

    It shouldn't, but this made me laugh.

    Wut? That's not how this is supposed to play out!!

    You're supposed to say "Sling your hook you pervert"

    And I would be all like "Psssh, I told you biyaches be cray cray"

    Then your FL would post random, assorted gifs.

    I would still be all up in yo grill and saying "Do I look boovered"

    More gifs.

    Thread locked.

    Well this has been no fun. I am taking my balls and going home.

    To be fair, how many posts do you see addressing only the women. No one jumps all over them and cries - at least not that I've noticed.

    Hey I think all of the guys should start weighing in on the "all female" post. You Know the ones . I'm 5'5" and I want to see a picture of how big my but is at 130lbs. Come on ladies , dude just wanted some input from people who can tell him what relates to his situation. He doesn't have enough estrogen to take your advice. But then again anytime your not included in a converstion that makes you a victim right?

    LOL because all of us women on this thread are exactly the same ones who post the "all female" posts....

    you know that all women are individuals and different from each other, right? Just as all men are....

    I don't make "women only" posts, and wouldn't even if I was asking about women's issues like periods, breastfeeding or childbirth, because I don't assume that no man could possibly know anything about it or have any advice that could help. A male ob-gyn possibly saved my baby's life and mine too............ some men know a lot about women's issues and some women know a lot about men's issues. Oh, and lifting weights isn't even a men's issue. The main problem the women here have with this thread is the assumption that women won't know anything about lifting, when there's women on this site that could bench press the OP.

    And the "women only" threads on here regularly get invaded by men, and the women who make them are told by the majority here that they can't expect men to not reply to them because this is a public forum, so the OP isn't getting any different treatment to what the women who post "women only" threads then make chauvinistic assumptions in them do...

    My advice would be:

    Do compound lifts. Squats, dead-lifts, bench, OHP, barbell rows, etc. Or better yet get a good program like Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5. Then, if you want, you can follow up with isolation exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, leg curls, etc.



    ^ Where does estrogen come into that advice?

    Man, all the women in here trashing the thread and not giving any good advice. How typical of broads, just a lot of complaining and no action. Even the White Knights are coming out of the woodwork to feign indigence. Let's go make a private group where we can discuss manly things out of the feminine public eye. I propose "NO GURLZ ALLOWED". All in favor? PM me.

    apparently you need to have estrogen in your system to be able to understand the advice you typed and follow it. It's hilarious how this actually logically pans out to being hugely insulting to men, implying that women are much more intelligent than men....

    some people need to think before they engage their typing fingers.... i'm pretty sure the guy who typed that doesn't really think that women are more intelligent than men...

    There are an unusual amount of little boys posting today! His post was chauvinistic and condescending. For that matter, he later admitted to that in a facetious tone and dismissed it without admitting to being wrong. Don't get it twisted honey.

    ^^this

    He only asked for guys opinions because he wants guy advice. It's a gender thing not a sexist thing. Women are different to men. What a shock.

    Everyone was pretty quick to jump up his *kitten* because he asked for "guys only". Compare that to how many "girl only" posts there are on MFP. Leave him alone FFS unless you have something useful to contribute.

    I'll have you know my indigence is sadly, very,very real. I have nothing but this laptop and the clothes on my back. Thank goodness for the escape of free wifi or the reality of my desolate existence might be too much for me to take.

    My indignance on the other hand, is only partially real. Mostly I'm here for the lols.

    Good thing you specified "GUYS only". Us ladies don't know anything about lifting.

    Must be all the math ;)

    No, it's our periods. Having a period means you can't possible be serious about lifting.
