3kgs? That twice the limit! They’re fighting over the 1kg weights.

“Only 3-pound weights,” Tracy says. “No woman should lift more than 3 pounds.”
I refuse to read any further. That is pure and utter BS and Paltrow looks anorexic.[/quote]
Agreed on both points. I can’t even bring myself to read it.
Paltrow is way too skinny. When she walks her knees look like they buckle inwards. Let’s not worry about strengthening those leg muscles because I’m sure that’s proper leg function.
I love how she says that the bands allow her to get deeper into the muscle.
This is the missing link in my training. I haven’t been getting deep enough into my muscles. I swear people will believe just about any bullshit that comes there way. Whats sad is that, truth be told, I have seen plenty of women who look better than these movie star types.
I say that because I live in a city where its no big thing to see an A-list celeb walking around.
I have seen better physiques from women who bust ass in the gym compared to these movie star types.
Also why she will eat birds but not 4 legged animals is just stupid. Chickens bob their heads when they walk because they are on the lookout for me.
some of the shit on that show is ridiculous… I dont watch it usually but I was flipping through the channels and I heard the phrase “if you loose 15-25lbs (im a big fat ass!) you’ll see an inch more of your penis” because of the fat around the pubic bone covers part of it…
then I did the math and realized if I got down to 10%bf Id be hitting the big 15" hmm doesn’t sound right to me LOL

Meh…they were lazy before she came along.
The recent influx of awesome women into this site gives me hope.[/quote]
We agree on something? Damn
I think the women on this site should be crusaders at converting all the cardio bunnies and skinny-fat sisters into iron-loving goddesses such as themselves.
For whatever reason, women need to hear it from other women. No amount of convincing from a healthy, weight lifting man will ever convince a non-weightlifting woman to ditch the 3 pounders. Women tend to hold themselves back in this regard.

This will set back women’s weight training decades.
Oh wait, the only people who watch Oprah don’t really work out, anyway. Plus, fewer women lifting heavy = lower chance of someone using my cage at the gym.[/quote]
It’s hard to imagine it being set back any further than it already is, but I think you’re right.
My wife’s friends ask her how she got so lean and hot and she explains the concept of “squatting”, “deadlifting”, and “progressive overload.” That usually ends the conversation.
Every girl thinks they will turn into a man-faced woman bodybuilder if they lift anything heavy. Loading the spine with a barbell is the best bone density builder out there, which is what women need.
