Default Re: Need Tips - Workout Advice for a Girl

Didn't read through this whole thread, but thought I'd offer some firsthand experience since I'm a girl & didn't see any others chiming in.

I've played tennis competitively and trained with weights since high school (I'm 32 now) and have never had any issues with getting too big or musclebound. You should be able to do the starting strength workout with deadlifts/squats with no problem.

Testosterone has a lot to do with gaining size. I've had significant increases in strength without getting noticeably bigger, even when eating a lot.
