At least I've actually done Starting Strength and Wendler's 5/3/1 for a substantial amount of time unlike most all of you.
But you're right, my 16th post WAS a waste. I'm going to get back to real lifting forums where people actually have a single clue about lifting and assitance work.

Pretty sure *most* of the women on this thread could smash your pretentious and obviously uneducated *kitten* through the floor. Please go back to bb.com and leave the grownups alone.0 -

Oh, I didn't realize you had insight into our lifting routine. Congratulations to you for doing programs that myself and most of the other girls are doing (and have done) as well. I didn't know you were the first to discover those. I've done stronglifts, RPT, and Wendler's, I must be a fracking expert! We'll go ahead and chalk it up to you being a typical 24 year old that considers herself smarter than everyone else.0 -

OH you have blown us away with your two references to a beginner book and an intermediate workout routine. My you are the goddess of the weightlifting in all your glory. pffft :laugh:0 -

So in your opinion you think Starting Strength is better than the Strong Lifts recommended here? They are both based off Bill Star's program and are very similar to each other. However, Rippetoe's form videos are somewhat questionable, I prefer Elitelifts for form video.
Wendler's program is not for beginners.
We questioned the OP's use of 3 different bicep and triceps isolation exercises recommending instead to do a compound program like Strong Lifts. Judging by her "new" status, I doubt she was using them as "assistance" work to big compound lifts (as you do in Wednler's).
Furthermore, most of us are insulted because you are implying that since we possess vaginas (as I imagine you do as well) that we know less about fitness than members of our species that do not. That is ridiculous. A lot of women have lifted for a decent amount of time, and have done the research to support our opinions.0 -
What specific exercises are you asking about ie: bicep dumbbell curl or barbell curl?
Dumbbell curls
Preacher curls with EZ bar
Concentration curls
Tricep extension with cable
Tricep extension with dumbbell
Skullcrushers
Is there any particular reason you are doing so much isolation work? Are you prepping for a contest or something?
With regard to comparisons of strength levels it's a little pointless as it relies on so many variables including previous training, limb length etc.
Stick to the basics: good form, intensity, progressive overload and you won't go far wrong.0 -

Good idea. Go to bodybuilding.com or something and see what happens when you talk about new lifters doing direct arm work.
Yes! Wondering when you were going to show up. Girl, actual bodybuilding forums will eat you alive.0 -

Bout time you showed up!
Says the 24 year old woman.Oh God, a bunch of n00bs who think they know everything about lifting. This is why you don't go to a fitness forum with 90% women.
Please, enlighten us with your wisdom. I'm dying with anticipation.
We're waiting...
I am interested in the words of wisdom she would like to impart also.
Well, I obviously could learn a thing or two as I have no idea about these cutting edge lifting programs that apparently no-one else on here has heard of.0 -

I was almost ready to be on her side because she was right about assistance work ... for people who have an hour to kill and have already covered their bases with the big lifts, assistance work is fine. Not at all necessary, but fine. But when someone posts a topic called "Women who lift heavy" and proceeds to ask about biceps curls and triceps extensions, it's usually a safe bet that the person isn't currently doing any deadlifting, squatting, pressing, etc.
Then, in her 17th post on the site, she went all "I've done two lifting programs, which is more than all of you," and it became clear she had reached the depth of her knowledge and would rather snap her fingers and stomp off than face the music and admit she acted like a douche.0 -

If you did any of those then you'd know the importance of assistance work.
You are all touting the importance of doing and ONLY doing the main lifts.
I'd love to see your *kitten* struggle on unassisted dips because you've never attempted them. OH! But you get enough tricep work on your main lifts? LOL! I'd love to see your tricep gains on bench and overhead press. Really, I would.0 -
DB curls: 30-35
Preacher Curls: 50
Tricep extension with cable-one arm I believe 17.5....I find these awkward so I really don't do them very often
Tricep extension with DB-overhead 2 hand-40-45
Skullcrushers--45? I'm having a blank and dont have my log right here with me
The weight varies depending how many reps I do but right around there0 -
What specific exercises are you asking about ie: bicep dumbbell curl or barbell curl?
Dumbbell curls
Preacher curls with EZ bar
Concentration curls
Tricep extension with cable
Tricep extension with dumbbell
Skullcrushers
Now just replace the 6 above with the 6 below
Deadlifts
Squats
Bench Press
Overhead Press
Barbell Rows
Pullups
There's no need for that. People can choose to add assistance work after their main lifts. Most do.
There is no need for compounds? If you do not have a compound as your main lift, what exactly do you suggest your main lift to be? Bicep curls?0 -

If you knew wtf you were talkin about, you'd know that SS specifically does NOT contain any isolation lifts, and that no 5/3/1 template includes any either aside from abs. Adding direct arm work to 5/3/1 is optional, but is not shown in any default template.0 -

We are assuming the OP is a beginner. Beginner programs do not need assistance work.
I am not a beginner. I do assistance work, as I listed.0 -

You realize that we're on the internet right, and generally the person **** talking like this ends up looking the fool? That's just sort of how it works. Unless you're an elite lifter or something.
I invite you (and everyone else) in the thread to join the "virtual powerlift meet" going on this month
