5 ways women should train differently than men

Published: Thu, 05/18/17

Hey,


To be honest with you, 80-90% of a female routine will be similar to a man’s routine.


This is because the science of getting stronger, losing fat, and building muscle is universal.


But what about the other 10-20%?  


That’s what really separates the women from the boys.


Here are 5 ways that women should train differently than men:


==================


1. WOMEN NEED MORE UNILATERAL WORK

Due to biomechanics, women are at a higher risk of knee ligament injuries (particularly the ACL) than men, hence, more unilateral leg work could well be beneficial.

2. DITTO ON THE GLUTES

This is once again linked to the idea of anatomical differences, but I also noticed that my female clients often remarked that the last thing they wanted was big, tree trunk thighs, but they DID want awesome glutes. It enhances the natural hourglass figure.

3. DEDICATED CORE WORK IS MORE IMPORTANT

Guys can kind of get away with minimal core work. For one, they lift heavier, so their cores get worked more during squats and deads, but additionally, women tend to be far more prone to being hypermobile. This can cause hyperextension on lifts like the aforementioned squats and deadlifts, thus stressing the lumbar region. Ergo, ladies will do more core work.

4. WOMEN HAVE DIFFERENT UPPER:LOWER BODY STRENGTH RATIOS TO MEN

Women have around 65 to 75 percent of the lower body strength as men, but only 40 to 60 percent of the upper body strength.

This might not seem to make a huge amount of difference, but girls need to get stronger upper bodies and be able to move themselves around with ease. This means subbing out some free-weight exercises in favor of bodyweight ones, as well as lowering some upper-body rep ranges.

5. WOMEN CAN HANDLE MORE VOLUME THAN MEN

This means that girls can do more work, and train more frequently than men.  The reason behind this is that women have more Type I muscle fibers than men. On top of this, women have higher estrogen levels.  The estrogen hormone does many things, but one of them is that it helps repair a muscle, allowing you to train it more frequently.

==================

Got all that?


Women need to train like women.


You can’t be training like a man.


I recommend all girls to train like this:
