what do you women do for weight training routines? | Thread profile

do you use the wwb routines? or is there something better you think? can you please give an example of one you think would be good for a female begginner. Also a routine that isnt focused on muscle building but rather toning, therefore fat burning and trimming. The female is also is fairly good shape... well looks good anyway. its not that she needs to lose 50 lbs or anything, if you know what ...

wow, a quadruple post. wbb is a good routine for pretty much any beginner who doesnt have a disability or injury imo. a routine itself shouldnt be the focus of fat burning. a cutting routine should focus on taxing the muscles enough to encourage the body to keep them while shedding fat because of a calorie deficit

Oh dear God toning ... There's no such thing. If she's fat, she'll have to diet and lift heavy to cut, just like everybody else.

You have angered Built with your toning comments, there is no help for you now.

I would say lessen the amount of upper body that you would generally see on a program for a male and keep the lower body work the same. but obviously diet is really the keystone to any body change.

The females lift the little pink dumbbells and do lots of tricep kickbacks.

Most of the ones I see do, anyways. Except for one woman whose back puts mine to shame who I see curling 30lb dbs for minutes straight at a time. My girlfriend does front squats with her dumbells (nice adjustible dbs that I envy). Her sense of balance destroys mine.

My GF does everything I do, including barbell rows, barbell squats, deadlifts, SLDL, bench, military. You name it, she does it. Muscle is muscle.

My girlfriend's routine: Back squat Deadlift DB Bench DB OH Press Pull-ups Row

Why do people on this site get so upset when someone uses this word? It's kind of elitist if you ask me... Not everyone understands bodybuilding or training verbage and use words such as the above to explain what they're trying to...
