Bench pressing for a woman

sixftladyj Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/07/14	2004/11/09, 01:28 PM I bench press at least 3 times a week..I usually lift anywhere between 65-70lbs and i do this in 4 reps of 10..My question is, i don't want to bulk, so will you suggest i keep my lbs. at this weight and concentrate on getting my reps. higher?..

You are a female, you do not have the testosterone. We as males try very, very hard to bulk and have a hard time doing it! -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
