there work out is no different then yours. If she is a female it doesnt mean she cant do what you can. I saw a post here some where about this before i am sure youll find it if youll do a search.

I can say that if she wants to tone up, which she sounds pretty small already, to do more reps and less weight......
I am 5'3'' but not 108lbs...though I do wish, but just tell her MORE REPS!! It will tone better than what guys do for bulking.....my b/f does bulk work and I do that SAME exercisebut less weight and more reps...its works!! Hope that helps!!!

I hate when women say that they just want to tone. Being lean is having muscle and and absence of bodyfat. My wife trains just like I do. She lifts heavy for moderate reps (4 to 6 on working sets) and keeps on getting leaner and leaner, stronger and stronger. You need to convince her that unless she is taking in 5,000 calories a day and on AS she's not gonna get "big". Mark

i dont whant my G/f to get BIG i like em small and tight, you know flat stomachs, low b/f and nice legs, the good stuff.

Unless she gets into steriods .....she will not get BIG no matter how much she lifts unless she's a freak of nature. I am 5'1 and I bench 195 and I can press 65's on my third set. I am by no means BIG, nor have I lost my feminity.

She can lift just like you just at weights that she can do to failure and she will get good developement without turning into the incredible hulk.
