New Rules of Lifting for Women

roguex_1979

Can anyone please try to explain in simple terms what the workouts entail? I've ready the book now, but I can't quite grasp how the workouts should be structured.

Also, the book seems to contradict itself a bit. For example, the way muscles get bigger is because of the micro-tearing and rebuild, but a few pages later it says that you shouldn't lift weights to the point that your final rep of your final workout is so hard you are shaking so much you threaten to drop the weight on your head/foot, but you should lift weights heavier than you think you can lift.

Maybe I need to read the book again...but anyone who understands it, please do enlighten me.

the workouts are structured in such a way that you alternate the A and B workouts, so one week you do A,B, A the next week you do B,A,B and so on.

within the training days themselves, there are exercises that you superset so for instance you do a set of pushup, then a set of seated rows, then back to push ups then back to rows for as many set/reps as indicated

as for that contradiction, i think they basically mean push yourself as much as you can, but don't over reach to the point where you can very easily hurt yourself. overreaching with a heavy weight in your hands can lead to some bad injuries
