In an earlier conversation you mentioned that you train some people for powerlifting. I'm currently working with two ladies. One is a Masters and the other is a Submaster. I think most men feel funny about having a woman train them. I think I'm a little more understanding about what a female lifters needs than a man would be.
Training methods are like a lot of things in life.
What works for me may not work for you. We are all individual and our workouts need to be adjusted accordingly. I do believe in lifting heavy. I have to or my muscles get lazy. Normally I have a pretty boring life and I really prefer it that way.
