Push / Pull / Leg split?

Hi there,

I've read a few positive comments from guys about push / pull / leg (3 day) splits. I am just wondering if it'd advantageous for females?

Anyone doing such a split - is it working for you?

Thanks!
 
Yes, extremely advantageous.
Just get into the gym and lift. By doing this you'll have an advantage of over 99% of female gym goers who are cardio bunnies.
 
There isn't much difference how a women would go about increasing strength compared to a man.

The difference I've encountered though is that women respond better, in the long term - to higher rep ranges, between: 15~20, with an emphasis on lower body and back.
That doesn't mean you can occasionally do lower rep work also.

The trick with any weight lifting program is proggressive resistance, pretty simple.

If I was you I would focus on full-body workouts with an emphasis in those areas.
