    I would never joke about bullying. Think of the children.

    From the article. This is awesome...

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    My primary advice to ladies seeking the “slender model look,” however, is the following:

    Wait until you start getting “bulky” or “overly muscular” until you decide to switch up your training.

    Start off training just like other fit women. Wait til you get too bulky to admonish heavy strength training. Many women never bulk up or develop bulging muscles. This is why the typical strength training advice – to focus on progressive overload on a handful of primary movement patterns – works for a good percentage of women.

    Moreover, any muscle that a women packs on will elevate their metabolic rate and help them lose bodyfat. So the training itself and the adaptations the training imposes will help women reduce their bodyfat levels and improve body composition.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    I loved this part as well and found it to be good advice. Heavy lifting is worth a try and it's not forever- if you don't like the results, it's not like it's a lifetime heroin addiction.

    A really informative, even-handed approach. We could stand to have a little more of that around here. Thanks for sharing it!:flowerforyou:

    It's kind of funny the way the article was received in this thread. On the Jessica Biel thread, it was called "BS" and other stuff..
    I find it interesting (and disappointing, as I stated on the other ^^ thread... I always thought Mila Kunis was hot.. but she doesn't have a bum.. what's up with that?! LOL)

    I'm not overly overweight. I am very muscular naturally (from my birth father) so it says to just keep dieting. So, I will!

    That was a very interesting article that was pretty informative. That flow chart needs some work though. Or maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet.

    6. Faster pace – you want dense sessions that are metabolically demanding. There’s no need to rest longer than 90 seconds, as you can employ paired supersets that combine non-competing lower body and upper body movements. A 60 second rest period is the usual here.

    I don't know if it's because I haven't had my full cup of coffee yet, but can someone elaborate on this bit? Specifically the "you can employ paired supersets that combine non-competing lower body and upper body movements"?

    Interesting, but I don't feel that I've come away with any solid advice from the article.

    Seriously? I thought it was an excellent article packed full of good advice. :drinker:

    Agreed

    Agreed, this is a really good read. I think it's important to note that he recommends that everyone start out the same and then, when they get down to a look they're beginning to not prefer, change it up . . . but still keep lifting.

    It's like following a set of squats with a set of OHP instead of squat set, squat set, squat set....

    Thank you for posting this article. I'm not quite there, yet, but it's nice to have a new perspective for a slight concern that's waaay down the road.

    You don't have to sit on the bench staring at the clock for 90 seconds between sets of an exercise if you do a super set. You can do 10 push ups, wait 60 seconds, and then do 10 seated rows. Your muscles are actually getting more rest, but you're moving faster and burning more calories.
