Calm down boys…! 😉
While I totally dissagree with this article, I can also see where they're coming from. Most women throughout the world are totally content to be small weak and demure. Now if they feel pressured into working out, this is most likely the approach they'll take.
It's a very good thing that any woman serious about working out has access to facilities and training programs that will help her reach her goals. Anything is possible! I just wish that people like Tracey didn't get so much media attention and coverage…

I think (certainly it's the explanation in my case) that we're raging here because of what you said – the pressure on girls is bad enough, then the likes of this woman come along, and, either through their own ignorance or (more likely, IMO) opportunistic tactics, take advantage of the reticence of most of these girls by reassuring them that, if they never work-out with anything heavier than 3 pound dumbells they won't end-up looking like "teh Ahhhnold" circa 1980. In fact, if you look at the article linked-to by the personal trainer who is ranting about this, mostly the resistance isn't even as much as three pounds, but only gravity and air resistance. ::)
I'd love to see photos of someone like Pauline Nordin offseason on billboards with a note underneath saying something like "I workout with heavy weights" or "Lifting heavy made me look this hot" as I think most girls think they'll look unfeminine and ugly if they pump iron. The only thing that will do that is excessive steroid use (please note my use of the word "excessive").
in contest shape these days. If I ran an FBBing show, this would be the stage of conditioning I'd be encouraging the judges to go for. Another bonus isd that I think it would prove to be more popular with the semi-casual punter as well.
