[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

omg no you do not. Use Starting Strength.

-woman lifter x 25 years. [/quote]

So? I have been lifting for 12 years, not a spring chicken either. The key is to allocate your time and energy wisely as what you do outside of the 3x workouts that actually matter.[/quote]

You really have not successfully defended your original (inaccurate) point here. There is no man’s vs women’s weightlifting program. There are lifts and mods and maybe you have a specific reason to have PT for some period of time. The “split program” being uniquely good for women I can’t make heads or tails out of; there’s no anatomic or physiologic rationale for it.

OP, there’s a lot of BS in and about the gym. That’s the bottom line.[/quote]

I agree with you!  I haven’t been lifting nearly as long but I do everything men do just lighter weights.[/quote]

Most men can’t do single leg dl as perfectly as me. This is precisely why I advocate for understanding women’s body more as opposed to just do stuff that “men do”. [/quote]

I also do those along with regular and sumo. I can also do regular push ups.[/quote]
