To take it even further - it's not possible, naturally. Women are from the planet estrogen, men are from the planet testosterone. No matter how heavy women lift, unless they are getting some 'help' from illegal substances, they are not going to look like men. Take it from someone who regularly leg presses over 600 lbs.

Suze, I'd definitely look at a structured program you can follow at home, like Body-for-life or Body-Rx. I'd also focus on working my whole body. The largest muscles in your body are in your lower body and working them will provide you with lean, long metabolically active tissue that eats fat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Why short change yourself by working only your chest and arms?

You can learn more about BFL at www.bodyforlife.com and you can find BodyRx at www.bodyrx.com

Cheers,
