Women have got all the same muscles as men, in the same places more or less, just a little altered because of wider hips. On average, they begin with less muscle mass overall - so the average woman will start with lower weights than the average man.What is recommended for Women? I was thinking it would be the same as Men but unsure?
That's exactly what you should do.Josh said:Maybe I should get her on the 5x5 haha.
Women tend to be resistant to the idea of heavy weight training. But if you can persuade her to it, do it. Once they get into it they love it, unless they're complete wusses.
Well, the thing is that nobody reads stickies, and there is no "definitive" 5x5, there are several, each with their advantages and disadvantages. While stronglifts is good, there will be individual circumstances like (genuinely) bad backs, half-hour workouts needed, home gyms with some equipment not available, and so on.hmmm, after reading this thread and this other one (http://ausbb.com/bodybuilding-training-discussions/9192-tailor-me-workout-please.html)
it looks like we need a definitive 5x5 workout routine? since the same questions are popping up again.
Awesome. Josh & Meg, Katie & Unnamed Hubby, Markos & Nina, this is becoming the forum of Heavy Lifting Couples
Lol @ unnamed hubby. I'll see if he will sign up to ausbb someday! For the time being I'm just pleased he's going through Markos' 70+ newsletters (or is it 80+ now?!?)
