Hello,
I wanted to try something new with my workouts!!!  I am a female....24years old,5"8, and 13.45% BF. I want more lean muscle!!!!  I want to focus more on lifting than on cardio.  Right now I do 1 bodypart a day and about 4 to 5 exercises/ 3 to 4 sets of 15 to 20 reps.  Then I do about 45min. to 60 mins. of cardio 5 days a week.  I just feel as though I can;'t build the muscle the way I want.  Maybe I should be doing my body parts 2x a week and less cardio? Also,  Should I go heavier?  The reps are now high, but I still want to look lean and not bulky. What do you all think????

This is such trial and error!!!!!!

I&#39;ll bump this for a beautiful woman :D &nbsp;
I think everyones body react diferent to excercise. Try and just do a little diferent routine, It will shock your muscles.
Like a little heavyer weights and lower reps for a couple weeks. Good luck.

Definitely up the poundage to where you hit failure at 8-10 reps, and I would say do at least 10 sets working each target musclegroup. &nbsp;I wouldn&#39;t worry about looking bulky, that&#39;s pretty hard for most women to do anyway. &nbsp;If you know your maintenance caloric intake, bump your calories up about 200-300 just above that and take in a bit more protein to give those muscles all the extra aminos they&#39;ll need after you blast &#39;em with heavier weights. &nbsp;Someone alread mentioned it, but it would also help to mix up the exercises you do for each bodypart in addition to upping the weight. &nbsp;You could also try tossing in some shocking techniques to every few workouts like drop-sets, supersets, 21&#39;s, forced negatives, flex-n-hold sets... &nbsp;Let me know if you need any more detail on those techniques. &nbsp;Let us know what you end up doing and how it comes out. &nbsp;Good LUCK&#33;
