    In my opinion, there is nothing more attractive than toned arms on a woman. It makes them look fit and healthy and takes years off their age. By combining push ups and women using the Push Up Bench, its the most effective, easy and fastest way to toned arms. Google "Push Up Bench and check it out!

    My idol (or inspiration) is Ernestine Shepherd). She's a 73 year old body builder/fitness trainer and she looks amazing. It is my desire that when I am her age I'm still in the fitness lifestyle.

    Damn! I have a new idol!

    It's tempting to say that women will not bulk up. As a trainer, I used to tell people that....But some, do, and they know it. There are different body types.

    I've seen people say this, and I don't doubt your experience, but I wish I could see some photographs of women who have bulked up or something because maybe it's just that my definition of "bulking up" is different from theirs.

    I have seen pictures of extremely bulky looking women along the lines of Arnold. I'm sure they are the few. Isn't that due to some kind of steroid use or something along those lines as well? Even in women? I'm ignorant about the topic but would like to know the answer.

    Those women try to get that way with gainers, teststrone boosting and all sort of other stuff. Its purposeful. You, normal people, aren't going to get like that unless you try really hard too.

    Lol! Yeah! Me too! She looks fantastic. I can only hope that I am still going strong and healthy at that age.
