“I don’t know about you, but I’m getting rather tired of all the stereotypical nonsense surrounding women and weight training. Deadlifts? No, no. That’s a man’s exercise; we don’t want to hurt ourselves now do we? You better stick to this here butt blaster instead. Don’t go too heavy now; that’ll just make you big and bulky like those female bodybuilders. If you want to ‘tone up,’ you need to go for the ‘burn’ with high reps and just a little bit of weight. Okay, now over to the hip adductor machine. This one is great for targeting and toning up those inner thighs.”

And as if the abundance of misinformation spouted out by the average lay person regarding women and weight training isn’t enough, these words actually came from the mouth of a “certified” personal trainer. A man’s exercise? What the heck is that? Are women so incompetent and weak that they can’t manage to conduct exercises with barbells and dumbbells or something? Higher reps to tone up? Big and bulky?

Man, I wanted to clock this guy; however, instead of “laying the smack down” on his misinformed butt, I decided to write this article instead. Let’s take a look at how a woman should train and at the same time dispel some of the common misconceptions regarding female trainees…”
