I saw this in the gym today - except the woman had an EZ bar with what could not have been more than 2.5kg per side, doing dozens upon dozens of squats with lunges in between.
Why do women do this? Is there a reason for it that isn't silly?
They think it will build them an ass. I see chicks doing this with like some kinda lightweight bar and doing side lunges and shit
Also doing the stair-stepper sideways and switching directions on an elliptical

women get their workout ideas from women's magazines
women's magazines have most existed for 10+ years if not longer
they have to sell 12-52 magazines a year
they have to come up with 50+ pages worth of new shit 12-52 times a year
"eat big, SS and sleep 8h+" doesn't sell many subscriptions so they're full of total memes
They probably saw it on Instagram.

This makes sense. I see a lot of women in the gym doing basically no weight for long reps and part of me wants to say something but I'm too assburger (and I have a gf so I feel guilty for watching them squat).
>Is there a reason for it
Yes
>that isn't silly?
No

The reason is high rep low weight is for retards, and they are retarded.

Either because they genuinely think they can improve themselves with 4x10 almost body weight squats or because they're just looking for validation.
That's why there are middle age women who always stand directly in front of you when they do good mornings with an empty curl bar

Joke's on you, I've only seen a middle-aged woman in my gym once. All the other girls there are qt and not fat. However, they're not strong either. But then again neither are most of the men.

4x10 squats at almost body weight is quite a lot for a beginner. it's nothing for someone who's experienced at the gym but it'll definitely make a difference if you compare it to not squatting at all.

this. You don't have to lift bodybuilder/fitness model weights to build a nice ass. "Almost body weight squats" is not bad.
