cellulite has to do with genetics. Want a bigger bum? Squat heavy. and try some deadlifts.

Cellulite , not so much. But as far as the butt shaping goes, its got muscle also so you can build the muscle there.
Do squats, walking barbell lunges and exercise like that to hit that area!
 
I'm currently logging my progress with Lipotrophin-PM. I just started it on Wed. (8/05/08) so you could keep up with my log to see if you think it would work for your girlfriend. I love the supplement so far.. it's working well for me.

Women at the gym
By Kristin Reisinger

Let me explain. Through the years I have seen many women in the gym lifting these rinky-dink, pink and purple hand weights barely breaking a sweat. I see the same girls do three cardio classes in a row and spend countless hours on the treadmill like hamsters on a habitrail pondering why their bodies look exactly the same as they did six months ago. These are the same girls that come up to me and ask me repeatedly what I do to look the way I do or what do I eat or do I even eat. I even overheard a girl once say, "I'm doing so good today... I only had a bagel and a salad." The list is endless and it is endlessly frustrating.

I wish I had a megaphone right now. Ladies... you need to lift HEAVY to have a physique like the chick from Terminator! When you feel like you can't squeeze out any more reps... do two more! Get calluses on your hands... your man will love it. So many of you comment on how much you'd love to have a body like Madonna or Angela Bassett or Gabrielle Reece but most of you don't do anything to get it! Do you think these women work out with tiny little dumbbells and their bodies look like that by mistake?

Do you even know how hard it is and how much meticulous planning and preparation (and testosterone!) it takes to put on muscle and "bulk up" like a professional bodybuilder? I've been lifting as hard and heavy as any guy I know for two years and I keep getting smaller and leaner! I look sexier and more feminine than ever before, too.

By really lifting weights and stressing your muscles you will increase your lean mass, and since it is this lean mass (muscle tissue) that burns fat, you will have the capacity to burn more fat even at rest. Combining this with a moderate amount of cardiovascular activity (not three step classes in a row) will turn your body into a fat burning machine. Too much cardio works against you and will eventually begin to utilize your hard-earned lean muscle tissue for energy which is NOT the desired goal.

"It's all about ATTITUDE," says Fortress, and I agree wholeheartedly. I would venture to say us women need to dish out even more of it than men...."

You also need to EAT. Your need to fuel your body with the appropriate foods for energy as well as protein for the build up and reparation of muscle tissue. Starving yourself is NOT the answer and is more detrimental than most of you realize. It will slow down your BMR (basal metabolic rate) and hang on to every last bit of bagel you consume as stored energy (fat).

By eating small, low-fat meals throughout the day incorporating a protein source with good sources of fibrous and complex carbohydrates will stabilize your insulin levels and sustain your energy levels. This will prevent your body from going into starvation mode while giving you all the building blocks you need for developing and shaping your muscles. Plus, you actually get to eat more!

"...the gym is our domain as much as any man."

"It's all about ATTITUDE," says Fortress, and I agree wholeheartedly. I would even venture to say us women need to dish out even more of it than men. If I had a nickel for every time I witness some girl feeling intimidated in the gym because of the presence of a man or give up a machine or a bench because some dude is waiting for it, I'd have a bank account like Arnold. I have gone up to girls in the gym and yelled at them for doing that.

Where's your damn backbone?! Self-esteem, confidence and an all-around, I don't give a **** attitude are all part of the package that go along with my philosophies on training like a woman which is far more attractive than a whole heap of mascara, lip gloss and eye liner. And the gym is our domain as much as any man.

Training like a woman is a synergistic framework allowing everything else in life to fall into place that much smoother including relationships, career or whatever you allow it to flow into. Having a great body is merely a fringe benefit. So ladies, to quote a very wise person, "Go hard or go home," especially if you're a woman

Awesome...I love asking the boys to step aside while I grab the 45lb DBs for presses. I also love asking for a spot with 45plates on the rack. And when I have these cardio queens ask me these questions about how do I have what I have...I ask her to excuse me while I rep out a set of wide-grip pullups. I find it to be satisfying to live as an example for working hard in the gym but looking like a woman.

It sends the message..."not only could I steal your man if I wanted him...but I could kick your @$$ if you objected to it." What woman doesn't want that power :smite:

Wonderful post!

This is too funny and great!

There's a girl at my gym that puts me to shame on the BB squat - I saw her doing about 300 lbs the other day.
 
I actually just today saw a girl doing curls with one of those damn baby blue weights. Does that even do anything? I mean what is the f*cking point of even going to the gym when she probably lifts more weight when she picks up her gym bag.

Leave it out sheman, no normal man wants a women built like a bloke.. Nor does he want a women thinking she’s boxer!

Your post is really immature, and it suggests to me you’re very insecure, and spoilt.
 
I think you all are missing the point. She never said that she would do something like that, only that she could. Confidence is a good trait if you can back it up. Some people are just intimidated by a confident woman I guess.

And by the way, a lot of men in the gym do act this way and can't back it up. Neither would they "steal" someone's woman, nor would they win the fight. Us guys talk a lot of s**t but are quick to complain when a woman speaks up. Ridiculous.

Hey guys, calm down a little bit. I wasn't saying I would do anything like that...I'm married, and it's just not in my nature. My point was that women always want to feel this confident about themselves, but always take the seemingly easy road out which leads them back to the same thing...no results. Crader was saying that you need to work hard, I work hard...and I get results.

And no man wants a cocky girl...but every guy could use a girl that is sure of herself and not always asking "do I look fat in this."

I agree. Big difference between doing something and knowing you could. That is confidence to me and not cockiness. I want a confident woman but not a cocky woman. Just like a girl doesn't want a guy who's ego is coming out of his ass. It was just a figure of speech not saying,"I am going to steal this girls boyfriend."

So true! I do not want a girl who thinks she can get any guy she wants and she is god's gift to men. I would rather have a less attractive girl who is confident than a total babe who is insecure. I hate it when you compliment a girl and she is like,"Thanks...I guess." UGH!!

I've been around long enough to know that a woman like that will never be satisfied, no matter who she is with or what you give her. When women act like that, I stay FAARR away. Not saying LJ is like that, but I can't stand that type either. A woman confident in how she looks no matter what she wears is very attractive and doesn't care what other women or men think.
 
f I had a nickel for every time I witness some girl feeling intimidated in the gym because of the presence of a man or give up a machine or a bench because some dude is waiting for it, I'd have a bank account like Arnold. I have gone up to girls in the gym and yelled at them for doing that.

I actually give way to a woman if she wants to live Heavy just because I am impressed that she in in there throwing up HARD just like the rest of us. Even if she is not lifting as heavy if i can tell she is lifting Heavy for her she gets all my respect. But i do the same thing for guys too sometimes i'll see new guys etc and they are lifting small weights or whatever but you can see them struggling or really giving it there all and I remember when i was lifting what they are lifting women or men if they go hard they get respect from me

Haha,I was about to say. I can't imagine anybody going and yelling at a woman you don't know in the gym.
 
true true, but i do love it when you see a girl in there who is actually pushing weight like doing work and not lifting those rinky dink pink 5 pound db and doin curls or w.e exercise just dont get it, so women doin work get points from me
 
I love lifting at the gym. For me, it is true that the heavier the weights the better my curves. :) Besides, it just feels better and sometimes it encourages other women to try it as well.

What's wrong with lifting those pink little dumbells? I can get a REAL burn from maxing out on curls or flat benching! :-D

My last 4 wk wt training program consisted of 4-5 exercises, 1 set of 100 reps, light wt and do as many reps as you can without stopping till you can do all 100 reps!!! Did 600-900 reps total per day, 5 days. I could not get 1 guy to partner up with me in my gym. No muscle endurance for the guys.

You wouldn't either, because as the guys said, there's no point to that kind of training (if you are trying to build muscular endurance it's NOT really the way to go about it; and there are more efficient ways of improving cardiovascular fitness, if that were the aim). There's NO need to do that much 5 days a week, regardless of how LIGHT the weight is (and if you're using light weights then there is NO point in having ANYone 'partner' up with you). You'd be better off doing 4-5 sessions a week of 4-5 exercises per session of 3-4 sets of 6-12 reps per exercise.

well can't it be functional depending on the exercises?. I know in wrestling practice we'll whip out 100 squats or pushups etc. and in Muay Thai we'll do 100 kicks in a row. so exercises like calf raises, leg extensions, front db raises side laterals etc for high rep schemes work very well to increase endurance for fighting. Isn't this the same concept?

Touche. To better illustrate, to the average strength increasing /mass building /body sculpting male who usually inhabits the gym world, this form of excercising is utterly useless. Repping out 100 reps of anything is great for helping out your cardiovascular fitness, although not so for the goals listed above.:type: Guejsn was right in pointing out that there are better ways of going about getting cardiovascular endurance to increase though. In wrestling and Muay Thai or boxing they will have you train specific excercises cardio wise, that you will be using in a match, so that you are used to the movements when you have to use them and won't tire out as fast by doing a movement your body isn't used to. Our bodies adapt to specific excercises very well. Paint the fence Daniel San. Wax the car Daniel San.:laugh:

That's NOTHING alike. If you want endurance for something SPECIFIC you TRAIN IN it, as if simulating it (i.e. what you do for wrestling or Muay Thai); you don't just do random exercises (regardless of whether they are functional or not) for it. Which is what is said here:

My goal was to gain muscle endurance, strength, tighten and harden muscles. In the 4 wks time I actualy went down 4 pant sizes(8 to a 4) increased strength, lost 2% BF and gained major muscle hardness and definition. If YOU have the will power and GUTS try it YOU might like it!!! :scared:

It has NOTHING to do with POWER or GUTS lol, more like cardiovascular fitness centred on specific movements . If you think you have power, try a powerlifting or even better olympic style workout for the day. Balls to the wall.Stick with it for a month, traing as hard as you can..then tell me your previous workout took guts.:laugh:

I doubt that you would have gained musch strength on such a routine (as you said yourself, you were using LIGHT weights). With diet and exercise alone 0.5% BF loss per week is the norm, so no surprises there. With that amount of volume your muscle WOULD be hard (very pumped for sure), and if you lost fat and were relatuvely lean then you would get definition. A size 8 to size 4 is actually only TWO sizes (i.e. 8, 6, 4), but good on you. And it's not about willpower or guts at all (doing high reps at a light weight is nothing); I have done VERY high-LOAD training sessions many times before (that use HEAVY weight), and ALL of my training is INTENSE. It's all about the individual. As said, there are MORE effective ways to achieve the goals you wanted.
