cars you will know we have left pretty girl advertising.
Rudbeckia, I didn't mean that you have to use the same weights as bx718. Rather, you would use the same "heaviness". So if you can only do 10 reps of an exercise with 10 lbs, and he can do only 10 reps of the same exercise with 30 lbs, you are doing the same work-out.
Can I recommend just trying out a variation of your routine, which is do 2 sets of 12 or 15 going as heavy as you can go. With what your lifting now, try 60 lbs on the lat pull down and 25 lb dumbells in each hand for your chest press. See how much quicker you achieve the same goals you have now by just doing 2 sets a bit heavier.
My goals are currently met, I am just trying to maintain. 25lb dumbells in each hand is way to much weight for me. Are you a body builder??

yikes.....okay so assuming I could lift the weight I am used to, I could get through the week, but I would be sore as shi* and miserable. Those are 1.5 to 2hour work outs, thats pretty rough. I will stick with my 45min to an hour workouts, I can barely fit those in my day as it is.
My goals are currently met, I am just trying to maintain. 25lb dumbells in each hand is way to much weight for me. Are you a body builder??
LOL I'm not at all a body builder. I use 35 lbs in each hand for my chest presses, and 30 for my flyes. I dont look beefy at all, but I am quite a strong person. That's my goal. Remaining as strong as possible and burning as many calories at rest as possible as I get older (and we all naturally lose muscle mass starting in our 20's), and being toned despite the extra meat (fat). These usually cannot be achieved with very light weights or if you never progress higher in weights. Also, you can obviously do a much quicker work out with the same or better results doing less reps and more weight.
6 days a week? hhhmmm - Something is amiss - How intensive are these workouts? Are people disobeying one of the most fundamental requirements of working out/fitness aka REST?. No surprise most are down/out after a month or so due to "diminishing returns".
I dare anyone to do MY 4 day/week routine for two weeks. Don't worry, I'll provide crutches....
3 days of weight lifting, and 3 days of aerobics/cardio on alternating days, similar to the Body-for-Life program another poster mentioned earlier. Each session lasts for no more than one hour, but they're intense.
You only work out 4 days per week, but your workouts look a bit longer, especially the days where you lift weights after doing aerobics/cardio for 30-45 minutes.

In all fairness to the ladies, they spend a lot more money on looking good and getting ready to go out than do the men. And I'm sure some men wouldn't mind if attractive women got into bars and clubs for free if the free pass attracts more women.
well maybe that one guy will sue the gyms also. You know, the guy that is suing columbia for having womens studies and not mens studies, and also the clubs for having "ladies nights" lol

Ah yes, the poor discriminated male (who still earns approximately 23% more than what females earn for the same work).
Also, ever notice at the drycleaners a male's shirt is about $3 cheaper than a female's shirt to clean? That is a well-known gender gap here in the city.
