Product Description:
In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength, conditioning, and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong body.
This book refutes the misconception that women will bulk up if they lift heavy weights. Nonsense! Its tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle: natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight lossits that simple.
The program demands that women put down the Barbie weights, step away from the treadmill, and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman.
The New Rules of Lifting for Women, now in paperback, will change the way women see fitness, nutrition, and their own bodies.

I bought this book for my wife after she began seeking out further information on lifting weights. Like many women, she had been lifting weights for a while, but was still caught up in the "bulking" myth, wasting her time with high reps of feather-weight dumbbells for fear of "bulking up." This book has become a great resource for her in increasing her effectiveness in the gym.
This book does a nice job of debunking popular myths and getting its basic points across. To get results you need to lift heavy weights in compound exercises, eat an adequate amount of carbs and protein, and stop jumping on the scale to measure your progress. Weightlifting is the top fat-burning activity, and revs your metabolism to keep reaping the benefits throughout the day. The treadmill won't get you the same results. These points are the main focus of this book, and after almost 15 years of weight training, I couldn't agree more.
I also chose this book because of the workout ... Read More

I read a book like this and injured my knee. That's quite a learning about my body. I am petite and was working out for a couple of years so I thought I could relly lift "serious" weights and I had learnt tecnhiques enough... to follow the book on my own, I was feeling great since I got results but ended up injuring my knees.......
Now I can appreciate the work of good personal trainers.

Using these workouts, I've added more strength in the last five months than my last five years. NROLW got me out of a workout rut and made workouts FUN again. If you've never done any barbell training, the workouts will push you out of your comfort zone and into the squat rack. In the beginning, learning to squat and deadlift was intimidating, but I quickly got over it and had a real sense of accomplishment with every workout.
Lifting like a man has lifted my butt plus helped my posture, increased flexibility and added strength without bulk. So many benefits for an investment of 3 or 4 hours a week. Thank you Alwyn, Lou and Cassandra for opening to eyes to heavy lifting. I am thrilled with the results! Highly recommended.

This book is written mainly by Lou Schuler, a journalist and strength and conditioning coach. Alwyn Cosgrove designs the workouts in the book and Cassandra Forsythe designs the meal plans and recipes. These are experts that I keep up with and respect very much so we're off to a good start.
WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR
This book says it's for anyone from beginners to experienced exercisers. I disagree that it's for all beginners. I think there is a lot to digest in this book and beginners might get frustrated and confused and end up putting the book down. However if you have the motivation I definitely think it's doable.
I'm not going to mention that they remind women they will not bulk up from lifting. I am so sick of this excuse from women and that we have to keep repeating it. Why are we still talking about this?? Is it not public knowledge now, even if you only read occasional fitness articles, that women will not bulk up like men if they lift like men? ... Read More
