Criticism

Perhaps the most contested claim by Anderson regarding her method is her assertion that women shouldn't lift more than three pounds. This has led to rebutals from various fitness experts. Shawn Mozen pointed out that weight lifting increases bone density and that many things women lift in their every day life weigh more than that an argument concurred by personal trainer Kat Whitfield. Tony Gentilcore has stated that for women "lifting heavy WILL NOT make you big and bulky." Fellow trainer Dean Somerset states that, "women are at a disadvantage due to lower circulating levels of testosterone, different muscle architecture than men (think of how men can have a very prominent biceps peak where women typically can’t), and a lower relative release of growth hormone. Aside from that, women typically need much more volume than men to make any kind of substantial gains in muscle size." Alfonso Moretti also takes issue with, "Tracy claims she can take any woman’s body and transform it into a tiny, dancers physique... n my opinion that is completely impossible, unless of course she has devised a time travel technique to go back in time and change who your parents are."
