    Heavy is extremely subjective and based off the persons current condition/strength. It's not a male/female thing. It would mean using a lower set/rep count so that you can use a heavier weight for the exercise.

    I apologize though as you were asking Twist. I don't mean to step on his toes and he seems to be a knowledgeable guy so I will let him reply to your questions.
    Don't apologize, you are dead on.

    Slim, most of the time when I see my female clients training in the gym I walk up to them, take their weights away, hand them something 10lbs heavier at least. Girls have some sort of problem with picking up heavy weights, like the opposite of a guys ego getting in the way. Whatever weight you are using, up the weight by 20lbs. No questioning it, just do it. Guys and girls should workout with the same intensity so watch some bodybuilder videos and then copy them. Anyway change to regular deadlifts as they are better for glutes than SLDL imo.

    Would love to see a video you think would be a perfect example if you come across one. So you are saying not the stiff legs I assume...
    Thanks Twist~
    Life is too short, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly.
