Which is the best way to train?
Option 2: Girl Training - lots of cross trainer, pilates, yoga and colorful outfits.
The answer is none of the above. Training modalities are not determined by gender.
Over at the FCF Facebook Page I posted a link that I came across on the internet on the weekend on Cameron Diaz's buffed body.
Is this the ideal body type for you? Maybe, maybe not but I think the most important thing is that she has actually dedicated herself to get in the type of shape that she wanted.
Those "guns" definitely were't built in a day and I have also read that she is very diligent with her high protein diet.
As dedicated as she is, and has been, I think that you'd have to agree with me that she doesn't look 'bulky", which is a female's number 1 fear of training with relatively heavy weights.
To simplify:
1 - The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate.
2 - The higher your metabolic rate, the more calories you burn at rest.
3 - The more calories you burn overall the better you'll be at maintaining, or reaching your ideal body composition.
This would make the lots of weights portion of "man" training a good thing and is exactly what we preach at FCF.
With a focus on actually increasing strength through resistance training, you will build more muscle but be rest assured, you will not get bulky.
Females just don't have the hormones to do so.
A testament to our training is an ex-client one of ours who looked a lot better on her wedding day then she did in "the red dress", where she trained with us in between those 2 images..
Then:
Now (minus her now too many kids!):
