Did anyone else find it ironic that many of the pics were of ladies doing exercises like kickbacks with very little weight and "serene" expressions?

The interviews were great tho. Good work JJ and Slinky!

Slinky saved us by putting in a picture of her doing push presses. I personally would never consider doing kickbacks...

Slinky is Patricia Smith aka Wonder Butt.

YES!!! Even in the article it's mentioned that compound exercises and oly-lifting should be performed MORE. Then they post pics of wee isolation movements

Okay...*breathing deeply*. However that, glad you all liked it. I've been pushing HARD to get more articles about women and strength training. Next one I'd love to see would be a roundtable with various female strength athletes. Maybe our own spatts and Bigguns thrown in the mix. I'll keep ya all posted on that.

In the meantime, if you truly liked that article: sound off to the editors! When they see that there's an interest, they'll post more like this in the future!

Here's a slinky quote:

"And for some reason, I believe that whole "you should be able to talk" while performing cardio is applied to weight training. Many women that go into the gym believing "working out" means more time should be devoted to conversing and "making friends" in the gym rather than actually training. I see it all the time, women talking during their sets and between their sets, never focusing on the task at hand. A lot of them think that if they were to up the intensity, they’d get ugly, bulky muscles."

What's really amazed me is this is an issue with the female athletes at the college I'm helping at. The women talk for 10 minutes between sets as the men are just going at it. I honestly don't understand it. It's like they don't care that strength training will help them perform better in their sports. I may have to train there one night just so they can see how women are really supposed to train.
