Possibly a dumb question. But regarding chest training

[jenscats5]

This is a funny subject - women shouldn't do this or that. What kills me is that for centuries of human evolution, women have been the pack horses of civilization. They carried all the shit around, planted & harvested crops, had kids, dragged the kids around, etc. etc etc. WTF are women so fucking scared of lifting and USING their muscles.

Seriously just blows my mind when these topics come up.

But, to Missfit's point, at lower bodyfat when the ol' girls aint' around so much anymore and you do start to get the developing pec look, that becomes an issue in "how you look". This is the exact reason why competitors basically HAVE to get a boob job if they plan to go anywhere in BB or fitness competition. The "feminine" look. That makes everythign about how you train a choice about what look you want at the outcome. You shape yourself many different ways based on how you diet & train. But that is your choice. To say women "should" or "shouldn't" do things is kinda dumb. They should understand the basics and apply intelligently.

You just reminded me of the old Cosby stage show where he was talking about the women picking rice & having a baby out in the field who, once "popped out" starting picking the rice with the mother....

Good points as usual!!

Sorry I get on a rant, but I am so muthafuckin sick of the girls I see in the gym "Oh I'm going for reps , not weight" "Oh I dont want to get big" "Oh I think muscles make you look like a guy" "Oh you're a girl, you should just do cardio and use the pink weights"

Goddammit.

Like I said, women have done many things to keep the human race moving. Imagine if it was all left up to the guys like the Victorian era recommended. Holy shit. We'd still be living in caves & sitting around in smelly underwear.

Well, Sassy, heavy weights DO make you bulky. Didn't you know?


lol As IF gaining muscle was that easy.

Also, 99% of the females complain they have "big thighs". They don't do legs because their legs get too big. I am sure that 800 hours of cardio, starvation diet, and the one meal of a big mac had NOTHING to do with the "bulky thighs".

LOL and let's not even bother talking about diet....
