I've just bought a book called "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" by Lou Schuler. It's been recommended to me by several members of the Lean & Strong facebook group and I can already tell it's going to be a great read just from the introduction. I'd love to share this great quote with all of you:
"In the quarter-century since the idea that women could benefit from strength training kicked in, a powerfully counterproductive notion rose in tandem. That's the idea that women should use exercises and techniques different from those used by men.
It's a ridiculous premise, bordering on fraudulence.
And yet every time I walk into a weight room, I see women doing things that nobody would ever recommend to her if she happened to be male."
