hi ppl....

i made this post on bb.com and then suddenly remebered that i'm a member here as well

ok, i need help...

i have to hook this friend of mine - a 20 year old girl, with a program aimed at fat loss...

i know that fat loss depends on diet, which is ok and i have explained some of that to her...

i thought that for her workout i'd make her do compounds (heavy) 3x a week and cardio HIIT style on the off days...

here's what i had planned out:

Workout A
Squats
Bench Press
Barbell Rows / Deadlift 1x a week

Workout B
Leg Press
Military Press
Barbell Rows

she does it like this:

Week 1:

Monday: Workout A (with deads)
Wednesday: Workout B
Friday: Workout A (with rows)

Week 2:

Monday: Workout B
Wednesday: Workout A (with deads)
Friday: Workout B

Week 3:

Monday: Workout A (with rows)
Wednesday: Workout B
Friday: Workout A (with deads)

and so on and so forth..

now, from what i've read, girls can train the same way as boys.. they too should try and lift heavy - "heavy" in the sense a load which is heavy for them - and yes, "them" IS a relative term....

now my problem (assuming YOU are ok with the program so far) is choosing a set/rep scheme... i am confused whether to put 3x5 with the same weight which will and MUST be increased every workout or 5x5 ramping the load and aiming for a new 5 Rep set every session.....

please help... thanks

Anuj
