“A woman shouldn’t be doing an Arnold split.”

[melodyonpoint]

@jimjam Nothing wrong with it at all. In fact I would say a woman is in a better position to do an Arnold Split than a man!!!
This is based on research that shows that women recovery faster than men both in between sets and in between workouts. So we have a higher pain tolerance and a lower rate of perceived exertion so we can handle more reps & volume.
Explains why Arnold needed steroids to maintain that split

@melodyonpoint That’s what others have said! I hope I have some success with it.

@jimjam But what if you have PCOS and have higher testosterone then the average woman

 

[jimjam]

@gorgomorgo I don’t but I wish I knew that to have said that!

 

[gorgomorgo]

@jimjam Save it in the vault for next time! Sure it won’t be the last time you have a similar conversation with someone.

 

[jimjam]

@gorgomorgo I have a feeling you’re right!

@jimjam that’s a dumb comment he made. at the end of the day you’re working out. your goal doesn’t have to be a body builder to follow a workout plan wtf also have to eat a shit ton to get big in general

 

[jimjam]

@mich1973 He made me feel dumb, so I am glad I posted here.

 

[mich1973]

@jimjam men are dumb. that’s all lmao

@rijames99 Boy** not man

@rijames99 Preach

@jimjam It’s probably overkill on the volume regardless of gender, but if you enjoy it then get after it!

 

[jimjam]

@sti2010 I think I’ll do it just for a bit for something fresh. I do agree it’s a ton of volume!

@jimjam No, you’ll probably love the results of it. I did a bro split for about 2.5 years when I started lifting (about 6 years ago). I’m tall and thin and just got really toned but didn’t gain a ton of mass. Unless you’re on steroids, you’re limited by your natural hormones.

 

[jimjam]

@tagliatellimonster I have a similar build. Thanks! Not on steroids.

 

[tagliatellimonster]

@jimjam I think guys automatically think you wanna get huge if you’re doing an Arnold split. Their brains can’t comprehend that we can just lift and not gain a bunch of mass and/or not want to gain a bunch of mass
