      Let me rant and explain. 😀Lack of proper weight sequencing in gyms is to fitness what "use PGP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" is to security advice.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/842710016696209409 …

      People who design or purchase weight racks for hotel gyms... aaargh. Sequence 5-10-15-20 .. 45-50 lbs. Invites injury especially for women. pic.twitter.com/UzwmMbQjF4

      People should do strength exercises--everyone, but especially women. They are routinely discouraged from them, or not provided proper tools.

      The fitness industry steers women towards pink dumbbells--too light to be useful--with the dubious "tone, don't bulk" BS advice. Aaargh.

      Look, I learned weights in a basement gym with a single bulb and real bodybuilders. Women CAN'T just bulk. Nope. Don't worry. Not happening.

      But women need to do strength, and dumbbells at appropriate weight and sequencing are probably the best way to start for most.

      But gyms around the world—in hotels, in universities—do this. Cater to the rare bodybuilder while ignoring everyone.https://twitter.com/miriampcallahan/status/842713489013723136 …

      What's worse is when university gyms do this!! 2 sets of 15-25lb DBs, always in use. Endless expanses of 45-80lbs- 1 guy does curls w/those. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/842710016696209409 …

          Worse, sequencing that increases too fast 5-10-15-20 (rather than 5-7.5-10-12.5) invites injury. Injury early on makes people quit forever.

          I care because strength training is the most overlooked but insanely great thing women can and should do. Not hard. Very high returns.

          not parallel, but counterpoint : most hotel gyms are in no way catered to my prog - have to make do. Is that industry or hotel issue

          Hotel gyms are pretty terrible for bodybuilders too, seems like they're usually built for cardio, weights being an afterthought
