Absolutely not. I train SM/SW events, 3 times a month with WSW Jill Mills, and there is nothing different, or girly, about the way we train. I assure you, she has never said, "I do it this way because I am a woman." Most of the guys that train with us have trouble keeping up with her. She's still a machine.. She actually laughed and made fun of me tonight for using lifting straps on the silver dollar deadlift (800+). There's nothing worse than getting called out by a "girl"... Even if it's Jill Mills...lol
