All-round strength training from a female perspective. Free weights, bodyweight, olympic weight lifting, unconventional strength training - it's all here.

Demos, tips on getting started, opinion, discussion and inspiration.

I'm not pushing any particular training programme, just sharing my enthusiasm for strength training and increasing my own knowledge.

@ ytownninja: thank you! I use kettlebells occasionally when I have access to them but I don't own any at the moment. I quite like them but you can use dumbbells for a similar effect.

These are great all around videos! I think anyone could benefit from these exercises. Plus it is nice to see someone that doesn't just hit the weights, but you do all around performance training. Do you do Kettle bell?

A lot of good videos. My favorite is the bodyweight one. I was thinking of an easy way to work the back muscles and it showed the bodyweight rows.

Hi
That video of your 7 types of press ups is amazing

Do you think that it would help me do more MARINE STYLE press ups if i trained by doing them all or something, the thing is im aiming for 60marines press ups in 2mins, but im only getting like 45-50?
ANY ADVICE ?

@ roshagawa: Hi, thanks for your nice comment. Yes, you are right, it is a lot to do with diet. However, women don't bulk up with any kind of strength training, so I'll never be big and bulky unless I use drugs to do it. Strength is not necessarily a function of muscle size either, so train hard, sleep well and eat a clean diet - with slightly reduced calories if you want to get leaner.
