Absolute rubbish.
1. Females produce less Testosterone than Males.
2. Even if a women ate 200g Protein a day, had a 4,000 calorie diet and trained hard as nails, they could probably only get, (I would estimate), 150lbs mass as a natural upper limit, and then need Steroids, and 150lbs would be for the minor few, not a genetic certainty for all females.
3. You still need to lift hard to make changes. You couldn't realistically get anywhere doing 20 reps on a muscle group, save for possibly Calves.
A womens training often is similar in basic terms to Mens, albeit with differences certainly in sets, and possibly reps to a lesser extent. There is no such thing as a weightlifting exercise, I'm 99% sure of that. Could possibly be wrong, but don't think so.
Also many training regimes or quality routines, are suitable for females, even if they may require a few sets removed, or other minor changes to reflect a females response, to loadbearing biomechanical or biophysical systems / regimen.
Also regards hearing stuff. If you don't know what you're hearing is right or wrong, ask where the person has heard or read what they're saying, don't just take dubious info as gospel, because you don't want to offend a friend, or parent, or relative.
I am reminded of the woman who told her daughter, weightlifting would make her into a bearded Lesbian, so she shouldn't do it, but how would someone in that situation, be able to turn round and tell her Mother, she was talking B.S. and should get her facts straight?
Sometimes the ones who try to care, are the ones who can do the most harm, when it comes to giving out wisdom on such issues, and most kids beyond the age of 10-11 years old, finally realise parents don't always know best.
Yes there are instances where some females gain muscle quicker than others, same for men too, but reality check says, unless you were prepared to use Steroids, and get some unnatural mass, you'd be capable of looking like a female shotputter / Hammer thrower with definition, but nothing much more than that.

- you CAN'T get man muscles so don't worry about it
- a1 and a2 are simply exercises pairings so if it days 4 x 6 w/ 60secs rest it would go like this: exercise a1 (bench press) x 6 reps, rest 60secs, exercise a2 (rows) x 6 reps, rest 60secs, and repeat that pairing sequence 3 more times
- yes follow the same plan...training doesn't change for gender
- yes, no ab workouts needed
- all bb exercises can be performed with db's no worries
- don't worry about what you've heard, dispell all that and follow recommendations
- how many "bulky" girls do you see in the gym? none...fat one's yes but 'muscley" one's? none

ok thx guys for all of ur help (even though I may have drove u crazy haha) when I feel something is not right I would usually say it to the person & question them but as I said I have heard this thing several times from the same people but its good that I am learning from u guys who seem like you've been working out for a long time to know what ur talking about haha. by the way, what would u recommend better.. elyptical or treadmill? elyptical is for lower body like thighs and bust which is a trouble area for me.. and i would do it using HIIT like 20-25 mins..same a treadmill..but what is better? any suggestions ? thx again .. !
- about the a1 and a2.. 4X6. .. so basically I should do A1 THEN A2.. or do I do ALL of A1 together and finish from the whole set then continue to A2 and do that set then B2 etc?
- check this out..it says the art of the waterbury method and it shows a plan.. what do u think of it ? http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=693794
- also when lifting do u recommend fast or slow motion? what is more effective.. i wont tell u wot i've heard..it's probably some other rumor which im sick of lol

- i hope your bust isn't located at your "lower body' area, that's what when your old isn't it?
- mix cardio options up each session w/ trwady, x trainer, rower, bike etc
- remember 20mins max or your not doing it hard enough
- alternate exercie within each "A" pairing, in this case A1 and A2...so 1 set of A1, rest as prescribed, 1 set of A2, rest, 1 set of A1 etc until all sets are done then do the same with the B's and C's etc
- you can do that one if you like
- lift as quick as you can but it has to be controlled w/ perfect technique...you've probably been told to lift slow...even though "bar speed" may be slow or mediaum pace, your "intent" is to lift it fast

Barbell Back Squats
Sets: 10
Reps: 3
Rest: 70 seconds
A1 Dips
A2 Bent-Over Barbell or Dumbbell Rows
Sets: 4
Reps: 6
Rest: 60 seconds (between exercise pairings)
- here is part A of the Waterbury Method. so i would do the dips in sets of 4 and 6 reps (or 6 times) in each set? so basically A1 is done 4 times(1=1 set) and A2 is the same way? so total of 8 times but i should focus on a weight that will not allow me to go further, is that correct? and each time i would increase the weight?
- also the site i went to does not have pics of the method, do you know a site that provides pics so i can do each exercise the right way? ex-dips, skull crushers, etc etc .. ?

- it says to use a wt that you can lift 8 times and no more so the first few sets won;t be a max effort but the last few or at least the last one should be...we want to get all the reps though
- yes increase the wt each session with the smallest wt increase you can do
- simply search google images, video or web and you'll find them...www.exrx.net is also a good one too
