Using your muscles, especially the fast-twitch muscles recruited in a BFS program, is one of the best ways to help keep the aging process at bay.<br>Another huge benefit for women who weight train is the positive effect on bone density---weight-bearing exercises can actually help reverse osteoporosis. It also has a positive effect on cardiovascular fitness and mental health. It's a medical fact that depression affects more women than men, and strength training has been proven to decrease depression and anger. Even sufferers of arthritis benefit from weight training!<br>Many of these conditions occur after age 40, so you may be wondering what this has to do with today's up-and-coming athletes. Lots. Young girls are rarely encouraged to flex their muscles. They don't get involved in sports as early as boys, and because of these factors they have little experience with fast-twitch muscle training such as BFS. They tend to be slow starters and may need an attitude change regarding the appropriateness of grunting during a BFS lift. The earlier they begin, the easier it will be to maintain this type of training for a lifetime, which truly will help them to maintain quality in their health and longevity. As for vanity, they will also look far more trim and vibrant than women who have never set foot in the weight room.<br><br>How Fast Can a <br>Woman Go?<br><br>Michael Yessis is a conditioning consultant in Escondido, California, who has worked with many professional athletes. In the November, 2000 issue of Scientific American Presents, Yessis was quoted in an article by Bruce Schechter that "genetics only determines about one-thir are pregnant shouldn t exercise or that women athletes can t tolerate running long distances. If you remember, 60 or 70 years ago experts said that a curve ball didn t curve, that it was an optical illusion. As for stress on the shoulders, certainly anyone who participates in gymnastics at a young age is putting a high level of stress on the shoulder joints and they seem to do fine.<br> <br>BFS: Seldom do your athletes perform any pressing exercises. Isn t shoulder strength important in jerking weights overhead?<br><br>Schnorf: During the time I worked with Curt and Stewart we never did any pressing. Stewart could never bench press 200 pounds, and Amy Miller has jerked 237 pounds overhead but can t do a military press with 75 pounds. Amy has one of the best jerks I ve seen, male or female, and certainly the best jerk of anyone I ve coached. I am of the belief that the jerk is a speed and technique lift, so with my athletes I emphasize speed, speed and more speed.<br>BFS: What effect does the starting age have on speed and starting strength?<br><br>Schnorf: The sooner you can establish the proper motor patterns in lifting the better. The toughest athletes to teach are the kids who are maybe 16 to 18 and have done a lot of bodybuilding exercises it gets very frustrating for them. I think that especially for a kid who s pretty bright and has an appropriate attention span, the younger you can get them started the better.<br><br>BFS: You were one of the first coaches to train athletes twice a day. Did you encounter criticism from other weightlifting coaches for training that frequently?<br><br>Schnorf: Certainly. The accepted practice was generally to train every other day, so the idea that an athlete could train six days a week or twice a day some d
