LOL you're not going to become a bodybuilder lifting weights for 3 months...
Lift light with more reps to tone. |

| Machines are fine, and probably better for people who have no one to teach them proper form with free weights. |

Most girls will not be muscle heads unless they (a) train weights for years and years at a higher intensity than most people can take or (b) take steroids. |

just make sure you adjust the seats/whatever else properly so you're using them the way they're intended
honestly, machines aren't bad. i just wouldn't create a whole workout using them. though i do know one person who uses mostly machines, and his physique is impressive especially for his age.
and lol, to get on the muscle head level for girls takes a LOT of work in terms of diet, lifting, and supplements. |

It's funny when people think if they start lifting weights they'll automatically become a bodybuilder, cause it's so easy to gain lean muscle.
I gain 5lbs of lean muscle every protein shake I drink. |

Well you can use anywhere from 5-10 lbs for arms. Bicep curls, lateral + front shoulder raises, overhead dumbbell press (for triceps), shoulder presses, skull crushers....all really simple and effective exercises. 7.5lbs (per hand) is the perfect amount of weight I find.
For legs I personally prefer to use as much weight as I can handle. But do squats, deadlifts, and lunges.
Abs, do planks. Planks give you more of that nice flat stomach - not the ripped muscular one that you get from sit-ups. Also "abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym" so cut out the beer and nachos. :p
Pushups are a great all around exercise. You hit your chest and to a lesser extent your triceps + shoulders.
Bent over rows or seated/incline rows are good for back (it's all I do + deadlifts for lower).
You can Youtube all of those things to see what proper form looks like.
More reps + less weight = more cardio workout = more fat burning. You'll know you aren't using enough weight if it doesn't burn through your last 6-7 reps. Do 3 sets of 12-15 per exercise. |

All noted.
many thanks, bitches
Also, I'm not going to ask the trainer this because it sounds retarded, but I'd like a bigger ass. I have skinny legs and a small bum :(
I currently use two machines that burn the gluteus maximus baby... any non-machine exercises? |
