    You're not going to get huge so don't worry about that.

    Lift as heavy as you can for anywhere from 3-4 sets of 8-15.

    I generally do 4 sets of 8 or 3 sets of 12-15

    This.

    Reps will build your endurance, weights will lean you out.

    No. Sometimes you will be. Sometimes you won't be. Proper nutrition will minimize soreness.

    Heavy, low rep is wayyyy fun and results are great. It's awesome that i lift more than some of the boys in my gym, and there is no bulk here!! Just nice pretty definition!!

    If you are new to lifting, New Rules of Lifting for Women is a great beginner program to start with and you will learn a lot from the book.




    I think I am going out to buy this Book!!
    :drinker: I like your Philosophy!!
