Back And Shoulder Workout Routine For Women

Type: Single Muscle Group
Level: Beginner
Days per week: 2 days
Sex: Female

Many times when a woman seems out of proportion, with a heavier bottom half, it is because she lacks upper body development.

I have found, in my weight training business, a shocking lack of upper body development in women.  In general it is, across the board, and not dependent on age.
