Attention Women: Lift Heavy Weights Often
Forget what you’ve heard about weight lifting making you bulky. You don’t naturally have the chemical makeup (aka testosterone) for that to happen. Women who appear that way have been “enhancing.”

How much should you lift? As much as you can while maintaining good form for that rep count. When you are hitting all the repetitions for that set, it’s time to make it heavier. The idea that the only way to get toned is by lifting super light weights a gazillion times is nonsense.

How often should you lift? Depending on your goals, 2-5 times a week. Women tend to focus on cardio over strength training and that’s a mistake.

Let’s recap: Lift heavy. Lift often. Rinse and repeat.
