    If you lift for women, you're doing it wrong.

    insert sarcasm

    Did somebody say "lift four women"?

    yeah this sounds like a definite troll with the bicep curls and pushups

    but if you want a good beginner workout program - youtube jason blaha's novice 5x5 - three days a weel and in a years time you will make some seriously substantial progress.

    Yep, that's why we are all taking this thread so seriously.

    OP, was that you curling in the power rack at the gym this morning when I actually needed it?

    Why do I lift? "Because strong people are harder to kill, and more useful generally." - Mark Rippetoe.

    On that note, ditch the curls and pushups, and buy Starting Strength.
    I started with StrongLifts, but I don't think he gives nearly enough info on performing the lifts properly. And I got irritated at starting with just the bar, when I was capable of more.
