BOOK - The New Rules of Lifting for Women (Lift like a man, look like a goddess)

I got this today. I've only read the intro so far, but I would already recommend it! :-)

A lot of people on here use it and recommend it.

Same here...I just got mine yesterday too (Tuesday) & I love it...I don't go to a gym though so I have to make some adjustments but I can't wait to start....You should read it!! Best of luck to you!!

My fiancee started lifting with me 7 weeks ago and she has made some big improvements. She was already in great shape but now she is getting strong. This week we started doing stronglifts 5X5. Great program that is easy for beginners and experienced lifters.

Nothing more attractive then a woman doing deep squats and deadlifts!

I'm one of the "other siders" as well and you don't need to be intimidated. Yes some of the people over there look menacing but they are always willing to answer questions and help you out. All you need to do is ask.

I am starting with Chalean Extreme at home, to help me build up some sort of strength before facing the scary boyz section at the gym and start Stronglifts (free with free iphone app! Woot). At the moment I'm not sure i could lift an empty barbell...so wanted to build myself up a bit first.
