Strength Training For Women - Facts

In the first part of this video we looked at the most common myths surrounding weight training women. In this part we'll look at the facts. The most important one is that basically you can train just like a man and that there are only some smaller differences that have to be accounted for: the lower starting strength women usually have, the effect of chest training on the bust, how menstruation can influence fitness performance, back training and posture having influence on the bosom as well and, last but not least, that there is no need to avoid the weights section at gyms.

Question by . . .: Weight training for women - how much weight to start with and how much is safe?
I've just started weight training exercises and I was just wondering what is the average weight a woman can bench press and curl when she first starts, and how much weight is safe for a woman to build up to?
and I have always heard that woman can lift weights and not look like the women in body building magazines. Am I wrong? That's not the look I'm after.
I don't want to look like a man for God's sake


Best answer:
It depends on your stature. I would suggest starting off doing very little weight. If you can't easily lift it, then don't try. Get use to lifting and you will learn what your body can handle.

***Added
Yes, you can workout with weights and not look like a female body builder.
