Replying because: I'm a woman who lifts and am not supposed to...

I follow a 4 day split on 5/3/1 and work related muscle groups after my 'big lifts':
-Bench
-DL
-OHP
-Squat

I'd advise not doing full body every day but working certain muscle groups (push/pull, or do upper/lower, etc.) so that your muscles have enough time (I'd say at least 48 hours) to recover.

if all you womenthink u have good routines you should of took your 2 minutes of typing to possst them and MAKE me see them.. Instead of using those two minutes to complain . if U guys are so prideful and confident in your routine you shuld have just posted them anyway like this lady did. Even though i didnt want to see them . I would much rather see ur routine than ur complaing . Geez

Why should we? And frankly I do not give a rat's *kitten* what you prefer to see.

Well i can have a penis whenever i want. So IN.

I lift every other day, full body.
Focus on deadlifts, squats, bench press, OHP.
I have recently switched up things a little, from high weights low reps only to both high weights low reps AND some volume work. We'll see how i like it.

enlighten me. Just how are women different to men when it comes to weight training?

There are about a thousand pages of posts on MFP about how women gain muscle differently than men.

Being serious for a moment, those posts are generally made by people who know little about fitness and physiology.

...but there are legitimate differences.

Our uteruses might fall out.

Oh and our bodies are predisposed to difficulty in building muscle. This point is exactly why people should pay attention to the women on here who have overcome that difficulty and are lifting crazy heavy. When I grow up, I wanna be like Sara.

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?

He could have accomplished that without the inclusion of the word "only".

Immerito

Usually people focus on 1 - 2 body parts per day when lifting .. They do about 3-4 exercises & 3-4 sets for those 2 body parts per workout... But lately my technique/routine is i do 1 exercise with 3 sets .. For each main body part bicep tricep back legs shoulder per workout. i know its alot of math loool, but Is my technique affective at all or just garbage? Does anybody else train the way i do or simular to it? Or the the other way or simular to it

Friendly tip, Op--if you don't take the heavy lifting ladies seriously, the heavy lifting men will take you less seriously: on the grounds that you have already demonstrated a proclivity to dismiss sound advice.

Also, this.

ummmm, more guys in kilts...pleeease?

Immerito

I doesn't sound like a good plan. You are either not working things hard enough or you are not getting enough rest/recovery if you do work hard enough.

In another thread the OP states: "i do 30 min of cardio twice a day and weights for 45 min everyday ." He also expresses frustration with not achieving the results he wants. Overtraining & insufficient rest.

I work on a 5 day split so that each major group is hit twice and there are 2 days off from lifting during the week. Start with the compounds first then hit a few assistance/auxiliary exercises. During the basketball season I drop the second lower body day as it affects my overall agility on the court when all jacked up with DOMS.

The days are also split by heavy/power (low rep range) days and hypertrophy (higher rep range) days.

I swear it makes me want to compare biceps with him. I hope I'm not the only one feeling that

I am pretty sure mine are bigger and if not- I KNOW I can DL him as well.

To bad he doesn't know women train the same as men... you know- because we seriously lift too- lift sammishes- and beer... and their feet to dust the coffee table.
