Women weightlifters?

Question

Hi ladies! I really want to get into weight training but I don’t know where to start. If you are a woman weightlifter can you please tell me how you got into it and what routine did you use as a beginner? 
Thanks

Answer

They have a ton of videos on YouTube and it’s workouts and also if you have an Instagram go follow pages like Katy Hearn, Whitney Simmons, suzie Kb, cass martin, Amanda Arrigo, Sarah bowmar. They all post a ton of workout videos which is how I got started. Try doing 2 leg days a week, a shoulder and triceps day, back and biceps. Also bodybuilding.com has a ton of free workouts on there.

I would HIGHLY suggest to get in contact with someone at your gym who can teach you in a hands on way good form. Having good form is so incredibly important for muscle growth and injury protection. 
Watching videos online is a great tool, but if no one is there to tweak you or help correct something that is off (like for squats, getting parallel to the floor, knees out, and foot placement) then you won’t be able to lift the weight you potentially can because your form isn’t great. And it’s hard to tell for yourself if you are hitting all the queues needed.
It can be pricey but it is so worth it to KNOW you are squatting, deadlifting, and benching correctly. Those are the 3 main movements and you can add in accessory work around them. 
I would also suggest like someone else said, watch instructional videos on some movements. Layne Norton has some great videos on bodybuilding.com that teaches you cues to look for while lifting. They also have programs you can follow for leg, back and chest, and arms and shoulder days at the gym. 
Lastly, don’t be afraid to do the movements. You know you are an beginner but the one thing that keeps women from lifting is feeling self conscious about it. DONT! You are there for you and eff everyone else 💪🏼

Answer

I have a personal trainer. And he is worth gold! Been weightlifting for almost three years. Amazing results, and no injuries. You can do easily get injured or plateau. Especially if you don’t really know what you are doing. Position is really really important.
