My wife is 41, 5'3" 115... She does the same exact workout I do with me, except she also does cardio. It is fun to watch her dead lifting with 35's on the bar. She started with 5lbs and has gotten up to 35lbs in about 3 months. Of course I have been rubbing testosterone gel on her at night while she is sleeping and she doesn't know it. (j/k)
