Default Re: Need Tips - Workout Advice for a Girl

[ QUOTE ]
chair, you are really off base here...those are the kinds of exercises that she needs to be doing...

a standard women in the gym routine looks like this...

5lb dumbbell - 3x50 tricep extensions
5lb dumbbell - 3x50 bicep curls etc...

most women in gyms make no progress and are fat...

WOMEN NEED THE SAME TYPES OF PROGRAMS AS MEN...compound movements with a weight that challenges them for the specified amount of reps/sets...

thirddan,

I've got no problem with a woman doing compound movements...and I see your point. I guess I was just kind of grossed out by the image in my mind of my gf dead lifting 200lbs...lol.

Anyways, the main point of the OP was for recommendations on a workout that can be done at home, with minimal equipment (dumbbells).
