I already put my two cents in the comments on his page, but I present them here for you: one penny plus one penny plus maybe a few more haypennies, on the world’s most ridiculous list of “tips” for women’s strength training<\/a>\u00a0by \u00fcber-glute, Bret Contreras. (He admits that “many aren’t really tips, just observations”. Uh duh.)<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0Women absolutely love it when they perform their first legitimate push-up and chin-up, and many love doing \u201cmasculine\u201d things in the gym such as pushing sleds<\/em><\/p>\n

Guess what else I absolutely love: everything that’s difficult that I work toward and then accomplish. So masculine! Gosh, between getting a Master’s, fostering pit bulls, and walking two marathons, it’s remarkable I haven’t grown a penis.<\/p>\n

65.\u00a0Some women make sexual-sounding grunts when lifting; men grunt but it doesn\u2019t sound sexual<\/em><\/p>\n

Here we have a classic case of Auditory Hallucinations for the Heterosexual-Heteronormative Male.<\/p>\n

55. A small percentage of women possess what I call \u201cTasmanian devil syndrome,\u201d characterized by a barrel chest with two chicken legs \u2013 this is the hardest body type to improve!<\/em><\/p>\n

Because that body type is wrong—WRONG. If you’re apple-shaped, your genes are WRONG. And hard to improve! (Your body needs to be improved!)<\/p>\n

64. Women don\u2019t tend to care as much about science and research \u2013 anecdotes are often sufficient for evidence<\/em><\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

18. Certain female sexual positions might contribute to women possessing good hip mobility and pelvic control (ex: ones that have the woman in a deep squat position, ones that have the woman in a bridge position, ones that have the woman rocking their hips back and forth, etc.)<\/em><\/p>\n

LOL-ing at this juxtaposition. Studies upon studies, so much<\/strong> of the scientific evidence proving that Reverse Cowgirl helps my front squat.<\/p>\n

But it is true that my vagina makes me hate research, so what do I know?<\/p>\n

52. Where women store fat varies dramatically between women \u2013 typical problematic areas for fat storage are the inner thighs, buttocks, and back of the arms, however some struggle in the lower abdominal and lower back regions too<\/em><\/p>\n

LOL-ing again. Absolutely no awareness—not even a synapse in the general direction—that \u201cproblematic areas for fat storage\u201d is a social\/cultural construct.<\/p>\n

61. Women sometimes dress very sexy for the gym and are then annoyed when males show interest while they\u2019re training, which on the surface doesn\u2019t make the best of sense.<\/em><\/p>\n

#rapeculture #victimblaming #fuckyouandthehorseyourodeinon<\/p>\n

7. Many women have unhealthy attitudes about their body images<\/em><\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t be because some bonehead said they look like a Tasmanian Devil, could it?<\/p>\n

56. Most women have well-intentioned male friends who give them horrendous advice pertaining to their goals<\/em><\/p>\n

No. NO. Like who? Who might do that?! I can\u2019t think of anybody who, for example, would make a list of 120 \u201ctips\u201d for women\u2019s strength training, many of which are misogynistic\/moronic.<\/p>\n

What complete and utter bullshit—except WAIT.<\/p>\n

9. Some women have \u201ccoregasms\u201d when training, and the hanging leg raise is the primary culprit (these orgasms usually aren\u2019t welcomed as they\u2019re inconvenient)<\/em>

Um. Can this be taught? Two birds, you know?<\/p>\n

(Unwelcome orgasm? That’s like an undelicious s’more.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
