For practical examples, we can view images of Chyna (Joanie Laurer), Beth Phoenix, and Jane Tricker.
Biologically, it is often more difficult for women to build large amounts of muscle mass than it is for men, due to a different balance of hormones, specifically, testosterone. However, weight training (or more generally, resistance training) can be very beneficial to both men and women of almost any age.
As women get older, they are more susceptible to loss of bone density than are men, though the effect is common to both genders. Resistance training helps to maintain muscle tone and strength, and as a result, promotes stronger and denser bones.
Resistance training is a necessary compliment to aerobic training in achieving, maintaining, and promoting a healthy body, along with a good diet and active lifestyle. A healthy body is beneficial to men and women, old and young.
