    UGH! My friend asked me the other night "why are u lifting weights? What do you want to be a body builder or something?"


    I responded with "ya I do actually, didn't you get the memo?" :)

    I use 10kg (22lbs ish) on the machines in the gym, but only 2kgs (2.4lbs ish) when lifting because I do them at the end and my arms are knackered :D

    Wish I hadn't waited so long in life to start the weight training. Not sure I will ever achieve this look (the second pic, not the first!) but I am trying!

    This site is great for info about women and lifting weights:

    Be warned though there is some strong language and I don't really agree with her thoughts on diets :)

    My clients who have gotten the best results used a combination of heavy lifting, good diet and cardio. The usual response I would get from the females was "really, lift heavy?" Once I got their trust, things moved in the right direction. I trust in science, and had I not, I would have been caught up with all the myth about "light weights higher reps burn fat" because "Broscience" was touting it.
    It's proven and it works........................go with what works.

    Oh... but the weights HURT! I'm digging throught the pain and sore everything... starting to ease up a bit this week.

    Do any other women want to eat an entire chicken after weights? All I can think about is PROTIEN!

    Well, yea lol That's a given

    But judging by the women on here who lift heavy, "watching her diet" means making sure she gets over 100g of protein and about 2000 calories a day or more. I'm sure she monitors her intake carefully, but I doubt she's a 1200-or-less girl.

    I tried to get my wife to lift weights, but she's sticking with her classes (where I think they at least do calisthenics). Women don't realize they'll drop fat faster with more muscle, nor do they realize they do not possess the testosterone to get big muscles like men.

    On a side note, this is a trainer at my gym who lifts weights with the steroid users:
