Strength without size: How to get stronger without getting bulky

A really great article that should help women understand why:

1. Low weight, high rep is a waste of time, and,

2. You can't, and won't, turn into a she-man.

My favourite quote for thoes who don't want to sift through the entire article:

"Even if you’re not a fan of bodybuilders, it’s an insult to all their hard work to think that you might look anything like them without years of ungodly dedication, unwavering adherence to programs specifically designed for size gain, great genetics and (most likely) some unnatural supplementation. Without embracing the lifestyle wholeheartedly, the closest you’re ever likely to get will be a bad spray-on tan."

Good article - although I came into this thread (based on the title, without seeing who had posted it) ready to be mean. :)

Haha, I would have too if I wasn't the thread starter....

lol this was my favorite line in that article:

"Trying to lift maximal loads while fatigued is kind of like practicing chess while drunk. After months — even years — of this approach, you will still suck."

 I do pilates because the person selling it says it'll make my muscles longer.

I thought it was just the plural of Pontius Pilate.

I just like to say it in these threads to see how much backlash it'll get.

^^  Backlash?  Meh, I just did a great strength routine...I am stress and backlash free.
