Pulldowns
OHP
I may even superset some of these together. Women tend to be able to hit muscle groups more frequently than men so full body works best for most - in the beginning.

Thats exactly what I had her do tonight was 3 X 8-10 shooting for 8 though.
All those movements are in her current routine.
Is it wise for women to throw a week of lighter weights at higher reps in once in a while? say 12-15reps maybe once a month or so to break it up?
