Ladies and Pull-ups!

Females can be especially intimidated by the bar, but

let me assure you, women can do pull-ups! It might be

a little more work for the ladies, but it is within the

potential of every able-bodied woman to perform a

pull-up.

Some women may be concerned that pull-up bar training

will make them too muscular.

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this myth perpetrated.

Being afraid that pull-ups will make you too muscular is

like being afraid that reading books will make you too

smart; it's really just an excuse for those who aren't

willing to make the effort.

Sadly, this misguided notion prevents many females from

achieving their potential.

That's right, ladies - anyone can do pull-ups!

The truth is, most women don't have enough natural testosterone

to gain muscle easily. It takes time for females to build the strength to

do pull-ups (and the muscle that comes with it). Overly muscled

women are either a genetic anomaly or taking artificial "enhancements."

Your natural body type is what it is, pull-ups will only help

you get stronger and leaner. I've had a lot more clients quit over the

years because they couldn't hack it than because they had gotten too

muscular.

Here is some motivation for all ladies..
