Just wondering why they felt the need to inlcuded the word women in the titles. I've never followed a specific program and my current lifting routine is the same one my boyfriend does. definitely nothing about the women in those groups is "easy" or "lighter" than what men do. Most of them can probably out-lift your boyfriend.....just a group of gals getting gal's perspective. My husband can spot me, but he can't help me with a good bra for lifting, gloves to fit my smaller hands, the way my deadlift is more painful after I gave birth to my last baby....etc. I wasn't implying that. Just trying to understand why they felt the need to specifiy they were woman only programs which is what I get from reading the titles. But like someone else mentioned it's a good marketing ploy. Lol. Haven't had kids so can't relate to that aspect and I didn't know there were special bras for lifting?
