Rummage for treasures at Endeavour yard sale!
Good food, good wine, good cause!
bout five times a month, I get thesame perplexing question frompotential female clients: “I don’twant to bulk up so I probablyshouldn’t lift anymore than 10
pounds, huh?”It’s not even a question in my mind, so
my response is always somewhat delayedbecause of disbelief of what they just asked.
Part of the problem is fear, and I under-stand that. Whenwomen are intro-duced into theweight room, theyare usually taughtthat there’s only oneway to perform eachset, and if they veeroff that, somethingwill cause their mus-cles to get huge.
Tell that to a man,and he will neverallow his brain toprocess that state-ment.
According to AlwynCosgrove, author of“Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess,”genetics do determine the way you look.
Cosgrove is very influential in the fit-ness industry. He has challenged me torethink what has been common practice infitness over the years and has made mywork more evolved and science based.
Factoid number two is: If you challenge
your muscles in the gym, they will grow —period.
If you’re looking for endurance, go aheadand perform the exhausting 15-20 reps, butthis is counter productive, in my opinion.
Muscle will not grow unless you inducesome minor damage to them — that’s thesoreness you feel after a challenging work-out.
There are two rules in the gym — theobject of lifting is to build muscle and mus-cle is hard to build.
Yes, this is true for most men, too.If you’re lifting/pressing the Barbie doll
weights — “15 times and increasing to 20times,” and your goal is to make your mus-cles grow, then you’ve done the opposite ofwhat you need to do. Muscle is so hard tobuild for women because of lack of testos-terone — it just doesn’t happen.
I never go into a workout and tell myself“Gosh, I don’t want to get big today!” Guyswouldn’t dream of saying that.
In my personal training career of 29years, I have trained only two women thatcould actually grow muscles at a prettygood rate. They carried the “buffed” gene— which is quite uncommon, actually.
The idea, ladies, is to lift as heavy as youcan, with correct form. Exercise with cau-tion, and barring no injuries that mightexacerbate your injury/condition, thenCHALLENGE yourself!
When you color outside the lines a bit,and work harder, your muscles will respondby getting strong, fit and lean!
When muscle is torn down, it heals (withproper rest and nutrition) and then, andonly then, will it build back up, thus givingyou that fit and tight look. This includesupper- and lower-body workouts.
You will not turn into a bodybuilder. They
(both men and women) have to work outseveral hours a day, eat impeccably clean,get enough sleep every night and slather onbaby oil after tanning. And, while I canappreciate how hard they train, who hasthat much time anyway?
Muscles will respond to what you trainthem to do. If your parents are buffed, yourchances are pretty good if, indeed, youwork towards that.
And while we’re at it, no workout willmake your muscles longer. That’s like say-ing you can work out and get taller. Again— genetics here. Muscles have a predeter-mined shape; when you challenge them,you will see what “shape” they will take on.
Ladies, I implore you to pick up heavyenough weights to see a difference!
Yes, we are different than men, we have ahigher proportion of fat and slower metab-olisms — all the more reason to pack onsome muscle.
We have the same muscle fiber structureof a man, but are chemically and hormon-ally different. We may be separate genders,but we are not separate species.
Strong muscles keep us healthy, and revsup our metabolism. There is no evidencethat women should train differently fromhow men do — I don’t — and my musclesaren’t big.
I lift as heavy as I can. I love it! Try it —your body will take on a whole new shape.
Challenge yourself to a better body!Please consult with your doctor before
beginning any exercise program. Lift safely,and correctly, to avoid injury.
