I blame the 19th amendment -- the world has gone to crap ever since women got the vote. They go around thinking they are all EQUAL or something...

Personally, I'd ditch the arm day leg day core day strategy. My current workout Workout A: Squats + bench + chins Workout B: Squats + OHP + deadlift alternate workouts. Whole body workout each time. Here's someone who did a similar workout: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/fivethreeone/view/how-did-i-workout-570888

Sugar is sugar. Starch is starch. Fiber is fiber. So carbs are carbs. Carbs are only "unhealthy" if you have a pathology, like diabetes or something. Consuming more calories than you burn will make you gain weight. That is all. Edited for typo. Doh! You knew what I meant!

The best exercises are indeed the squat, deadlift, and bench press. I'd throw in OHP as well. And it is well nigh impossible to squat or deadlift dumbells. Weight lifting is hugely important -- it will help your strength (duh), your bone density, mobility (if you're squatting correctly), blood pressure, and a bunch of…

I'd do 5-10 mins of warm up before lifting. I would not do serious cardio and serious lifting on the same day.

I wonder if this is how Deep Blue Something got their name. I'm very afraid of where Glass Tiger came from.... ouch.

I do low carb, so add me if you like, but I'm also doing >3000 calories a day, so not sure it'd be much help to you.

So if you're lifting heavy, you do 5 squats, and then rest until the fatigue goes away, and you can do it again. It's a personal thing, and it depends on how heavy you're lifting, but for a beginner, probably 2-3 minutes. It might be as long as 5 when things get really heavy. For more information than you could ever dream…

Well, if we're going to talk about bulky, we need to reference Taunto's most awesome post from a while back: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/987513-lifting-is-the-most-horrible-thing-to-a-woman-since-twiggy

OP - Depends on your goals. Typically bodybuilders do routines focused on individual muscles. People worried about strength for sports, or everyday life, do compound lifts. I really hate you right now.

=D StrongLifts does nothing to develop power. If you're not planning on being any kind of athlete, you might not care. Rows are a silly exercise. 5x5 is a bit much when things get heavy. But mostly, I thought it was a complete waste of time to start with the empty bar. And ya, it kinda bugs me that Mark Rippetoe (wrote…
