Military and firefighting fitness articles.

If it's Oxygen or Muscle & Fitness, those are pretty good.

I guess I selected correctly.

Although since navane is going to the "next level" these may well be completely obviated.

Hrm...I'm not even sure what is considered lower or higher weight for women. For example, among many things, I use 15lb barbells for chest press (more if on the machine), 40lb seated row and 60lb lat pull down. I do 2 sets of 16 reps along with cardio, crunches, stretching, etc, etc. I often see women in there with the 5lb weights and I wonder what it's accomplishing.....though, I don't know if 15lbs is really anything to brag about either.
