There is your problem. The difference is you posted an "opinionated" video. People are replying with actual facts.
Yes I did ask for Opinions. I just assumed people were reading this to be helpful not input hurtful opinions on whether they thought it was stupid. That's all.
So. Stop being butt hurt and tell us what you're goal is so we can actually help you. Because other wise we are just going to continue to sit around and argue about why we think that training program sucks.
You say you don't have that much information- let us help you- but we need to know what your goal is in order to do that efficiently.
I'm not "butt hurt" but it's like really... Anyways thank you but at this point in the discussion I'm over it. I'll figure it out on my own.
Yeah you are!! Listen to what these people are telling you.0 -

Because we don't know what her goal is. Because she hasn't said so. she could want to be a marathon runner for all we know and just do strength training on the side.0 -
Six pack short cuts. Is'nt that Mike Chang. Most of the notable youtube fitness people usually don't agree with Mr. Chang. Train like a beast if you want to look like a beauty. This goes for your upper and lower body.0

well yeah but i'm saying if someone's neglecting their posterior chain or whatever and setting things up for weird imbalances that is not a good situation to be in. they're free to do it, obviously
I agree with that... but you specifically said women should train for health.
But the reality is- women should train like men do- like ANY SUCCESSFUL ATHLETE does- for a purpose. A goal.
And yes- general health and wellness is a goal- that's fine- a generic over all lifting program is fine too.
meh ...woman need to make sure that they are strong enough to lift the laundry and get the casserole dish out of the oven ..anything other than that is useless...
and that is sarcasm before I get slammed....0 -

Yep, butt hurt!!!0 -
Specifically training legs is not going to get rid of leg fat any more than training abs will get rid of belly fat.women should train for health - ie such that muscles are developed in a reasonably balanced way to prevent weird biomechanics and vulnerabilities.
that said, as far as aesthetics goes, it's personal preference. i think people can develop their upper body to a point they're happy with (that's balanced, idk what minimum level that would be) and then just maintain that if they want without necessarily progressing in weight.
women's legs DO typically carry way more fat than men's bc of hormones, and if people aren't happy with that, i think it's smart to treat that a bit differently (ie focusing on building up more muscle there to firm things up)
And women should train for whatever they please.

Reminder: Women, you won't get bulky lifting weights unless you take steroids and that's your goal. We simply don't create enough Testosterone to enhance our muscles the size of men's unless you take some type of muscle enhancer ...

I workout a lot and I feel tht this is a good concept because women are not men. There body structure is totally different from men. Genetically they are different. Women should focus on the lower half more because that is where most of the weight is. And they won't be built like a tank. For most morons who said that. Also I believe that people should work out any way they want. If people don't like what someone else says just don't comment. All you trolls out there who would bring another person down just for asking a question should really think why they are doing that. Most of you people probably don't even workout, you just do cardio all day thinking that that is the key. But like arnold said" don't listen to the naysayers". Danielle you got my vote. Keep up the good work and don't let any of these *kitten* tell you otherwise.

I am at work so I can't watch the video right now, but I fail to understand why I wouldn't want to strength train my upper body. I mean...having done so allows me to be a stronger tennis player, pick up my 9 year old son when we're goofing around, move air conditioners, push 960 pounds of bagged concrete on a cart that didn't want to budge...0

I am so confused why you are upset here.
The plan you outlined wouldn't work for me because I want to improve my upper body strength, which is one of my goals.
What is your goal? If it's just general fat loss and improved fitness, the plan you listed with a caloric deficit will get you started. Just remember that, as you go, your goals will evolve and that means your program might too.

Yes because, apparently, that's the way you target butt fat.

Their suggestion for a workout plan was like this:
Day 1 - Glutes
Day 2 - Hamstrings / Core
Day 3 - Upper Body (all muscles)
Day 4 - Quads / Core
Day 5 - Glutes
Now, they structured this to give women a fit toned sleek look with curves... so what do you all think ?
Reminder: Women, you won't get bulky lifting weights unless you take steroids and that's your goal. We simply don't create enough Testosterone to enhance our muscles the size of men's unless you take some type of muscle enhancer ...

I workout a lot and I feel tht this is a good concept because women are not men. There body structure is totally different from men. Genetically they are different. Women should focus on the lower half more because that is where most of the weight is. And they won't be built like a tank. For most morons who said that. Also I believe that people should work out any way they want. If people don't like what someone else says just don't comment. All you trolls out there who would bring another person down just for asking a question should really think why they are doing that. Most of you people probably don't even workout, you just do cardio all day thinking that that is the key. But like arnold said" don't listen to the naysayers". Danielle you got my vote. Keep up the good work and don't let any of these *kitten* tell you otherwise.
Do you even BroScience?
Thats OP from her alt account obvs
Actually I'm my own person but I believe that people missed the concept. She's not going to train only legs. She just asked about an idea and needed help. That's all. Just answer the questions without being an *kitten*. This is the problem wih our society and yes I can probably lift more than you 0 -
and she got the help and didn't like finding out the video was crap....nope we got the concept.zakmccartney79 wrote: »LolBroScience wrote: »chivalryder wrote: »zakmccartney79 wrote: »Danielle721007 wrote: »Hello All, so I am a huge YouTube junkie and I just watched a video from Sixpackshortcuts and Andrea Albright (both who are awesome!) which talked about how women should specifically strength train the lower half of their body ... glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves more so than upper body.

so you are saying a training program that is 3:1 legs over upper body is superior????????
so when someone has arms like a twig and a rear like Ice T's girlfriend Coco or whatever her name is, you think that is a good look?
No, but I'm saying when you wanna train te way you want that it is ok. You can't nicely put comments on here without being an *kitten*.0 -
Danielle721007 wrote: »
I'm not sure that you do see the point. Working upper body once a week and lower body 4x a week is going to leave you unbalanced even if the upper body work is heavy. My guess is that you are at a beginner level, which is when full body programs are ideal. Once you are an advanced lifter--which is years away--you might go to a body part split that has you work a part once a week. Again, though, that's really inefficient at this point. I pretty much don't think that you'd be working your upper body enough to gain any strength doing it that way. And again, if you don't care about upper body strength, go for it. But that's kind of a headscratcher for me because life is so much easier when you can lift and carry and hold heavy things.0 -
