I guess I'm looking for more than "training like men do". I've been thinking a lot about program design for both men and women. Other than my NASM book, Starting Strength and a few random others I don't feel like I have a lot of good examples. I've only been doing this since last Summer/Fall. Though I have worked with some good trainers I wish that I'd had (or will meet) a mentor for training.

Anyway, here's an example of what I did with my client tonight. It's one day of a two day split.

Here's what we did tonight:

warmup circuit x3:
overhead squat using dowel, halos with 8kg kb, and pump (downward dog into upward dog)

strength:
Superset (x5) body rows on trx sysem x3 and db overhead press db x5.
SLDL using db's 5x5

Circuit x4:
20 kb swings
mountain climber x20
bosu toe taps (seemingly lame exercise but worth doing)

3 min. walk on tread mill
10 mins. of stretching with band
In my personal experience I found most trainers weren't into pushing me as much as they did my hubby. Only one really treated us as equals. I guess I'm talking more about a program like the New Rules of Lifting for Woman.
