Differences between men’s and women’s training
What are the differences between men’s and women’s training? This is a very common question. “Ahh, but will strength training make me look masculine?” 👎 NOOOO!!!
It’s not easy to get big
Don’t worry: although testosterone is found in both sexes, men produce about twenty times more of it than women, and we all know how hard it is to gain lean muscle mass…
Women simply don’t have enough hormones (testosterone) to gain muscle mass in the same way men do.
Don’t be afraid of hypertrophy
Getting very big is difficult. Hypertrophy isn’t easy. That’s why the difference between men’s and women’s training
Some women avoid training their arms at the gym, and this even has cultural roots… Many say they would end up looking like a “man.” But you won’t look “masculine.” That won’t happen, especially because of the hormonal differences between men and women.
Women produce about 20 times less testosterone than men… don’t worry, none of you will look masculine! Quite the opposite… you’ll look #hot!
Muscle hypertrophy can be achieved through a good strength training program at the gym! But you need a routine and consistency! Shortcuts in strength training are important for achieving this faster.
Every workout, when properly prescribed, aims to increase lean muscle mass and reduce fat! What will enhance these results—or not—is your diet! No properly designed workout will “reduce” your lean muscle mass… believe me!
When a person gains muscle mass, their basal metabolic rate increases—that is, the calories they naturally burn at rest—because the body needs energy to maintain a certain amount of muscle mass. This increases your daily calorie expenditure; consequently, if you have a good diet, you’ll burn more calories and have more success reducing body fat. It’s that simple.
