[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]pssst - you don’t need a program “for women.”

You do. Women have greater joint flexibility and modification from a man’s program can help reduce injuries. Women also have stronger legs so knowing how to use them is important. 
After birth? A program to rehab the back muscles and core will help a lot.
A split program focusing on left and right is also more practical for women. [/quote]

No women truly do not need different programs. Most programs customized for “women” don’t focus enough on actual lifting and can be too easy. About the only thing different is that men are vain about biceps so women can skip any biceps curls. Men AND women benefit from unilateral exercises and core/back strength. [/quote]

Programs should be customized to the individual. No one should be wasting their time lifting baby 2 lb weights but a middle age woman does not need to kill herself trying to go above 200lb with her deadlift either.[/quote]
