Should girls train chest?

[jenscats5]

I bench about 90-100 lbs right now, free weight & weigh about 135-140. My BF % is too high to have that look of separation, etc. So, like everyone says, have her start with a weight that won't cause her to hurt herself & work her way up from there. I can lift just as heavy as most guys & you wouldn't know it to look at me.

I love my muscle cleavage...and that nice curve coming from my armpit, too. I just can't imagine not training my chest.

Plus, it's so much fun to press what the young guy on the next bench is lifting. Especially when their friends notice and rib them about it.

I love this too! I workout at a gym that is primarily a tennis club with nothing but cardio queens and circuit trainers, so it feels awesome to show the men up! My husband is my trainer and unfortunately encourages that behavior.

fitfossil....so true, so true....

bwilson...you're damn right, hell nothing gets big overnight, darn.
j/k...

My man always had the cardio queens, oh, cardio queens with big ta ta's at that. Then comes along me, BBing is my thing, soooo I have no ta ta's...LOL. Once upon a breast feeding day I sported D's, ahhh.......but now, nada, nothin......uhemmmm, well no jiggly stuff, straight muscle and he says he loves it! He sees me put so much hard work into it, and says one of his fave things to do is run his hands over the m.cleavage, i'm like okie dokie!

yes attaining the huge chest for a chick is a lot of work, i have worked up to 185fw/ bench / 55lbDB's and im by no means humungo, well i take that back, standing next to a cardio queen, i guess over all i am a big girl...funk it, i work for it, i love it.

sorry for the rambling, but back to biz,
*target all areas of the pectorals - upper, mid, lower...as YOU know to do. what's a big damn diff with men/women, oh yeah, test. soooo with that being said, she/they arent gonna blow up, but moreso over, striations, separations like what i think you're describing is after one kiiiiiiick ass diet and/or comp prep. NOT to say you cant have them w/o that work...you get my drift.

Thow em on the bench, toss em on the iso hammers, put em under the cables....in the future they'll thank ya....or atleast their better half will! LOL,
train hard,
~g~

I hope you're not trying to pose as a girl g. C'mon now, no girl talks like that.

yes they should train chest but not to the level wher eyou cause striations caus eyou can start to lose um "boob" mass sorry for the term its 3 am writing this before bed

 

[wilson6]

Striations and breast mass are solely a function of diet and % bodyfat. It has absolutely nothing to do with training chest. I don't know how these myths get started, but they just never die.

Look at any pro female BB or fitness comp. in and off season and regardless the pec muscle mass and you'll find that the striations and amount of breast fat depends on body fat.

Wilson is right. Even before I worked my chest as a woman, my weight would fluctuate and so would my breasts. This is true with all women. The fatter you are, generally the larger your breasts will become because the female breast contains majority fatty tissues.

 

[dzulboy]

ok fine don't listen to me next i bet your gonna tell me steroids don't shrink breast tissue in some females

I train chest I think a lot more older woman should it helps out gravity. I wont worry about seperation etc tell my BF% gets pretty dam low. As Daisy said it really wont effect most rec. lifters just help them stay perky. Bench press is also a great compound works more than just your chest.
