    This thread turned out pleasantly funny. Especially the part where some women thought they could lift weights. Especially the ancient legend of Sara the Juiced Powerlifter. Thank you all.

    :laugh:

    ( :flowerforyou: for Sara :tongue: )

    I believe a woman should lift has heavy as she can while maintaining proper form.

    It all breaks down to what the person's goals are.

    yes, bad form in the kitchen and laundry room is a bad thing....I agree...

    what about sammich making?

    I know that's one of my top duties in life.
    Sammich making and beer opening.

    It takes about four months to put on a pound of muscle. If your gaining weight faster than this, its likely not muscle. (either fat or water weight). I'm a personal trainer who specializes in weight training for women. I lift heavy and so do my clients, none of them get "bulky" or "manly". Heavy lifting can help enhance women's curves and give the look many women try to achieve.
