Men Training = Women Training
A lot of people out there assume that there is a specific type of training required for men and than there is a special way for women to train. This is totally false. The same biological principles that dictate muscle growth apply for both female and male. That’s the reality of it.
I hear people tell me that I’m training wrong. That there has to be a “lady like” way of doing it. The reality is that you have to do the same things, stimulate the same muscles and workout the same. I won’t be bench pressing 300lbs, but I will be bench pressing at a weight that is challenging to me.
Don’t assume that as a female you have to do this differently. Watch the biggest guy in the gym and copy his routine. You’ll learn a lot. Don’t be afraid to do some deadlifts, they work great. Don’t be afraid to do some squats, they’re powerful. Don’t be afraid to bench press as much as you can, it’s addictive.
You don’t have to train any different than men.
