From my own experience. Let's take an untrained guy and assume at best he can do 3 wide grip pull ups untrained. A woman can easily reach that within a few months of training (if they train properly, not HALF ASSED TRAINING like in that one NY Times article). I am talking about negatives, heavy rows, grip strength training…

I am female and I can do 6-7 wide grip. They are easy for me. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftIxAq8PdYs Honestly. I feel that the military requirements for 3 pull ups minimum are TOO LOW and pathetic... and that is coming from a woman. If you can't do 3 with just body weight you have no business being in the…

Yep, 70 lbs for HIP THRUSTS.... READ THE POST OF THE PERSON YOU QUOTED... THEY WROTE "Hmmmm thought you said people that couldn't squat 70 but I'm not re-reading 20 pages to find it." SQUAT SQUAT SQUAT When did I say 70 lbs for SQUAT? I said HIP THRUSTS... and I still stand by that... Do you even read?

It's not necessarily psychologically. Some people can't even do a full squat with no weight due to mobility problems from sitting in front of a desk for years and poor mobility etc.... The drills I posted above can help with that.

Use the pad that people use for squats... take it from the squat rack

It could be a mobility issue; even something like lack of ankle flexibility can prevent someone from squatting deep... Do all the drills here three times a week... there's videos..... (3 pages) http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/squat_like_you_mean_it_tips_for_a_deeper_squat It will help immensely...…

There's no need for all those crunches. If I were a beginner I would do Starting Strength 3x a week. All compound lifts. The key is progression; adding weights. Bicep curls are not needed; biceps and triceps already get hit via bench, OHP, deadlifts. If you don't want to Starting Strength I would add in deadlifts and…

Good for you. I never said rough hands a sign of strength or success; it does mean that the person is tougher tho generally. In my opinion it is also sexier and manlier.... and more badass for both genders. I don't like gloves and don't wear them.

I never said people should start squats at 50 lbs... HIP THRUSTS are EASIER than squats and most people will be able to hip thrust at least 2x what they squat if they keep at it... Just like most people can deadlift way more than they squat. Did I say people should start at 50 lbs for everything? If you are going to quote…

Did you even read her post? She is at her ideal body weight and wants a BIGGER *kitten* and BIGGER /FIRMER BOOTY... which means bigger, not smaller... For people who want a bigger, super rock hard *kitten* BBL is not the way to go. Not everyone wants to lose weight. FYI I am actually BULKING to get BIGGER. Imagine that.

I denied every single friend request on bodybuilding forum and will do the same. I never even accept those. I won't accept any friend requests on this site either.

I guarantee you those dvd's will NOT make your butt bigger.... I've done them before a long time ago. They are useless. Heavy weights are required for a bigger *kitten*. Eventually you need to go to the ":weight lifting" section of the gym and squat with the BAR (not dumbells) and do hip thrusts etc... Body weight…

This is the best exercise for glutes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEM5_edC8yE&feature=c4-overview&list=UUQHuDtci_OuUixuCMOVK_6g Google Bret Contreras on youtube for form instructions. That and heavy low bar squats. Low bar hits glutes more whereas high bar squats are more quad dominant.

Because anything worth doing takes time, patience, blood and tears. I have never taken the easy way. There is satisfaction in admiring your glutes naked and knowing they are actually there.

thank heavens no. I don't have a maternal bone in my body. I don't like children at all.

The Brazilian butt lift cd's are crap and will not make your *kitten* bigger. The weights are too light and the exercises not optimal. http://bretcontreras.com/how-to-get-a-better-butt-step-up-your-knowledge/ Here is what Bret wrote about that program The onus has to be on you, the consumer. I therefore implore you to step…

I am not trolling. This is my personality; I am antagonistic... don't really care about making friends or getting along with others. I like to debate online. So what?

Wimps... Espec if they are using gloves at the same time. It's the most unmasculine and unsexiest thing ever to see a guy squat with a pad and gloves. Turns me off. I am not trolling but totally serious. I cannot respect a guy that has a lower pain tolerance than me and I'm a petite female.

To prove others wrong; that squats are not #1 for dat *kitten*. It was to prove a point and to debate/argue. Not done on purpose to educate people although that was a side effect.

Nah I think they do know how to use it..... majority are guys... also i have seen many GUYS writing on bodybuilding.com that they prefer using a pad... even though they know about form etc... they were asking of others "judged" them on it..... which i btw DO. I think many guys are aware of proper form but still like to use…

It's not my job to educate people. It's so much more fun by being macho and calling people wimps etc. Yes; using good form (proper bar placement) and squeezing your shoulder blades to create a shelf helps. I am not here to educate people though.

I don't consider myself delicate in any way. I may be under 100 lbs but I like to consider myself tougher than most men at my gym and I like to scare most of then men at my gym by being badass, dropping/slamming weights around and wearing no gloves.

Aware but for most people they will still be sore in their back the first time they do it even WITH proper form because they are not used to having a bar on their back. However they are too wimpy to suck it up and get used to it and resort to using a pad etc.

Yes; I agree. My priority is not a "standard weight routine". My priority is DAT *kitten*. I want my *kitten* as BIG AS POSSIBLE. I train for AESTHETICS. DAT *kitten* is the #1 focus for my routine and everything I do.

I don't care about having soft hands; I take pride in callused hands. It shows toughness in my opinion. Of course it's not necessary; I just don't like using gloves. Also, the majority of people at the gym have no need for gloves. The only exercise that I could imagine you may need gloves for are heavy deadlifts. Are guys…

How much weight did you use? I do use a pad when hip thrusting; same pad folks when squatting.... btw; I DONT use a pad when I squat; that's wussy. Yes; bb hip thrust will make that area sore when you first do them... you get used to it but it still gets sore when I move up in weight. When I first did 195 lbs I got bruises…

I ain't a lady. And me being able to hip thrust 200 lbs has NOTHING to do with size btw. There's a guy that is 6ft and does hip thrust with 500 lbs.... so size has nothing to do with it... I believe Bret Contreras is also over 6ft... and hip thrusts over 500 lbs... Most strong guys who train their hip thrust regularly can…

Oh and btw here is the video of the plates on the bar...... I know its not conclusive because I don't thrust right after i tape due to the fact that i have to SWITCH to the front facing camera in order to tape MYSELF... so it is not possible for me to record the plates on the bar in normal mode and then back to front…

So you accuse me of not delivering but when I do deliver I am "hilarious"? Answer the question though, DID I DELIVER?
