Don’t let her lift heavy, because she will begin to enjoy it and the next thing you know she will be hoeplessly addicted to lifting heavy. Look what has happened to some of the women on this site. Yeah, just look at what has happened. Isn’t it GREAT!
Find her a female training partner or two.

I don’t know their training routine, and I must say that the difficulty of a women to look like that is undeniable, I also think that steroid use could play a major factor. Lifting heavy for a women would be curling about 10-15lb dumbbells. It’s usually harder for a female to gain strength to go past that, and that said, that weight will not make you bulky at all.[/quote]
*snort
I know you meant a female NEW to lifting…do you mean it’s hard for a female to WANT to go past the 10s and 15s?
I’m not a powerlifter or a bb or a figure competitor…just a girl who likes lifting as heavy as possible…no matter if its 15-20 reps or 3 reps…where’s the challenge in using 10lb dbs all the time?
And PS- the blond lady with the pixie style haircut built her body Au naturel! And I’m fairly certain she can curl more than 10lbs

Try the book: The New Rules of Lifting, For Women. The girls I know swear by it. It has clean nutrition, challenging plans, and, unlike many fitness related books, it doesn’t read like a ten year old wrote it.
FWIW, an analogy I’ve heard is this:
You wouldn’t say “I don’t want to go for a jog because I’m afraid of setting the new WR in the 100m.” So why would you said “I don’t want to lift weights, because I’m afraid of getting too big.”
Well, I don’t think that people are understanding me. I am a personal trainer, and most of my clients are normal, run of the mill females, who haven’t ever lifted in their lives. I know that curling 10-15lb dumbbells may come easy to some of us (I workout with that weight) but for someone NEW starting out, they will stay at 10 lb dumbbells for a LONG time.
As a matter of fact, I curl 40 lb barbell when I do biceps, and I feel, that that is pretty decent, I am not a powerlifter by any means, but I feel that is above average for the typical female lifter who isn’t competing, and definitely above the newbie, which is what I thought this was all about to begin with- someone new in the gym? I was posting on what I felt the new females to the gym are lifting, based on my experience, not what I lift, or what I think is a lot of weight, because what I think is a lot, is way beyond what my clients think.

I don’t think anyone cares enough to try to understand you.
Only if you suck at your job.
What’s a typical female lifter who doesn’t compete? I can and have curled a barbell with 85lbs on it. I’m def not the strongest woman here.
and the OP came back to thank us for the laughs and for our advice. HE understood what was goin on.
YOU obviously dont.
Don’t bother replying till next year. In the meantime, keep curling those 10lb dbs.
to translate into nice-speak:
it’s a local etiquette thing. There’s so much bs about women lifting in the wider world that in here we don’t like to put an upper limit on what anybody can lift.
Also, newbs vary a lot and you don’t know a priori what they can’t do. Someone who’s never learned to lift, but did a lot of sports or dancing, can be surprisingly good.
It’s just never good to assume that such-and-such is the most your clients can do. Somewhere out there a woman is lifting more.
She gave me several options…
I really do wonder what it would be like to get slapped by Cbear? Miss Oro ect…?
“Only if you suck at your job.” Yikes!
Holy threadbump, Batman!
are you all still curling 10lbs?
