I just read this post by Tony Gentilcore and I HAVE to link you to it: read here. While I’m not a big fan of guys making reference to women’s breasts (being the object of guys ogling pisses me off), the rest of the post is right on. Goes right along with my post a while back. Women, listen up, you’re not going to lose any weight or get the body you want by lifting those stupid pink dumbbells – ever. I don’t even think those should be allowed in the gym (any real gym anyway). Watch the videos on Tony’s post and take notes: this is how you should be training if you want to see results (unless you have joint problems that keep you from doing some of the movements). And do me a favor, if you go to a personal trainer and want them to help you get fit, don’t sit in the consultation and tell them that you don’t want to ” get big” or “bulk up.” It ain’t going to happen unless you’re some freak of nature that has ungodly amounts of testosterone coursing through your veins. Lift heavy. Make those scrawny guys in the free weight area that only know how to do bench press and bicep curls embarrassed to be seen lifting next to you. Then you know when they’re staring at you, they aren’t staring at your boobs or butt, they’re in awe that a female actually knows her way around the weight room.
the proof is in the pudding
