Hey, Chuck. Women should train like men. There is no difference. And free weights are the way to go. Good Luck to you and your woman.

I AGREE MY WIFE HAS BEEN TRAINING WITH ME SEINCE AUGUST. I TRAIN HER LIKE I TRAIN AND SHE HAS MADE EXCELENT PROGRESS. SHE HAS LOST 55LBS OF FAT AND GAINED 10LBS OF MUSCLE. SHE STILL HAS A WAYS TO GO BUT SHE IS VERY DETERMINED.

GOOD LUCK....WARLOC

FREE WEIGHTS are the way to go. I love it. Don't be afraid to have her work out with free weights and heavy. She will not get TOO BIG, like most inexperienced women think. She will love the changes her body makes in a short period of time and then she will be hooked.

Good Luck to you and your woman. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Since the day I began lifting I did the same thing as the guys, minus the traps(until lately)....Picked up the heaviest weights I could handle, trained as intensely as I could....as you know women dont naturally produce testosterone so it is possible for them to train similar to men without getting the same results as men.

I agree with everyone. Definitely train her as you would yourself and split her full body into two or three separate routines.

Use very light weights on a machine, go for at least 20 to 30 reps, and then toss in at least an hour of cardio every day. One must also cut back on protien to no more than 50 to 75 grams. And above all eat only two meals a day with no more than 1200 cals (600 per meal) Of course do not eat any fats, but a good amout of sugar is ok - helps with energy.

Did I forget anything????

Ahhhh, it's nice place around here, think I'll hang for a while [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Please, Please.... Let this guy know you are just pulling his chain. Since you are one of the experts around here, he may actually tell her to do this.

You just NEVER know.
