Cathlete
She was on tv the other day..
Her trainer said women should never lift more than 5 pounds..
Women should not be bulky..
Now,who gives her the right to say what women should look like and what is sexy..
I happen to think women with some muscle not huge though is more appealing than a 90# bag of bones with no definition..

In all seriousness.. Most women will never build big muscles unless it is in your genetics or you are taking steroids....

Opinions ..
 
Well, her trainer told her that so she didn't see any harm in passing it on.

She definitely is not "bulky" and not my idea of what women should look like, but she has the body that is getting her the screen roles.
 
I remember when 5#s was very heavy for me. Sigh, those were the days... Seriously, that is such an old-fashioned viewpoint. Go heavy or go home! My muscles gotta work, honey chile!
 
I think Gwenyth Paltrow looks the same as always (except perhaps when she was pregnant). I think she is 'slim and lean' not because of any particular workout regimen, but because of her genetics (look at her mother, Blythe Danner, who has pretty much the same build).

Her trainer has been discussed quite a bit on VF. If you go to her web site, she has a lot of photos of herself (the trainer) that are bordering on softcore porn.

She also has a lot of specious ideas that are unsupported by any fact, like saying the working the small muscles 'holds in' the larger muscles and makes them smaller and tighter.
 
That trainer is also Madonna's trainer and there is NO WAY Madonna is only lifting 3 pounds. (I think the trainer said no more than 3 pounds - crazy!!) Oh, well...what works for one doesn't work for another.
 
totally agree

I agree with all of you. That episode first aired earlier in the season. I just started doing Cathe and could barely lift five pound weights. I don't want to be skinny, I want to be lean and strong. I can now lift ten pound dumbells easily, and have some good definition. I have no problem lifting my 3 1/2 year old or 22 pound baby, so I have no regrets. I am glad I stuck with Cathe. ;)

And, no way is madonna only lifting 3 pounds. . .
 
oh pleeeaaaase!!

you'd never guess the weights I lift simply by looking at me!!

.. and it was actually three pound weights :rolleyes:
 
besides.. if her arm with less "sagg" was from carrying around her 30lb son.. hmm.. I wonder if she can get that with a 30lb dumbell in her other arm..
 
I really hate when people say that. No more then 5#? Hmmmm, I guess I should return all my dumbbells from 10 to 45# then, huh?

Give me a break.

And I have always loved Gweneth. She is beautiful. But she is SKINNY. But hey, if you like that, go for it. To each is own.

I personally LOVE muscles!

Glad we all know better! :cool:
