I'm a women looking for an introduction to strenght training program, what is the difference between NROL and NROLFW? Seems to me like the original one would do the job but why is there a separate program for women?

Thanks!

There's a great thread here about strength training programs, including some discussions of pros and cons:

If that discussion doesn't answer your questions, it would be a really good place to ask.

Best wishes!

NROL is just fine...NROLFW goes into more detail in the read in alleviating concerns that a lot of women have in regards to weight training. It's the read more than anything that is geared towards explaining to women why they should lift and why they shouldn't be afraid to lift. My wife started with that and she liked it for that educational aspect more than anything else.

I personally like New Rules of Lifting Supercharged because it gives you a template of movement types rather than this or that specific lift and then shows you the lifts that fit those movement types...I tend to get a little bored, so I like doing a variety of different lifts that fit a specific movement type. It's also not just one program...It has bootcamp, hypertrophy, strength programs. It also outlines beginner type of lifts as well as more intermediate and advanced lifts to suit a specific movement.
