Thanks for the info. I realize that women use different methods to build muscle. I have to consider my age when I use weights. Harder to build bulk at 59+. There might be something I can do differently. I am not looking to get a lot bulkier, just keep firm and toned.
If you find the link, feel free to share.
okay I found the article, it was on bodybuilding.com Like I said it's for women, but I'm going to post it because maybe Dreamer will find it interesting. but I'll copy and paste the part I was talking about. Oh and and at the end of the article is a link to part 2, that's where the exercises were given.
Bodybuilding.com - Lean, Sexy, & Hard: Weight Training For Women - Part 1!
"It's not important that you move big weights; what is important is that you are selecting and lifting loads that are heavy for you. Over time, you will get stronger and the poundage you can handle will increase. So, for you as a female trainee, a "heavy" load can be defined as a weight that you can lift in good form for 3-6 repetitions. This is in agreement with the recommendations of Canadian strength coach Christian Thibaudeau as he notes, "Women do not have the capacity to recruit as many motor units as men do.
As such, they'll need 1-2 more reps to fully stimulate their muscles. So when training for strength, a man should use between 1 and 5 reps while a woman will benefit more from doing 3-6 reps. Also, most women will need to perform 1-2 more sets of an exercise to achieve the same degree of stimulation as a man, once again because of their lower motor unit activation." The weight training routine that we will outline next month is modeled around these recommendations."
Okay so in part 2 where he outlines the workouts we ladies were supposed to do 6 sets of 5. So you could probably do 4 or 5 sets or 3-5. It doesn't sound like much but you use A LOT more weight than if you were trying to do 10-12 reps 3 sets. Like I would watch girls at the gym doing sets of squats like that (10-12 reps) with like 40-50 pounds on the bar. I started off using like 80 and got up to 110, plus the bar weighs 15 pounds. Dumb bell presses on an incline bench I was using 25-30 pounds each hand. I couldn't move that much weight if I had to do 10 reps. But lets say I did 3 sets of 10 reps, that would be a total of 30 reps. Well I was doing 5 sets of 6, then 10 sets of 3, which is still the same amount of total reps (although that last set or two I might not get all the reps done) with a hell of a lot more weight.
I'd have to look around see if I see anything like this recommended for guys bodybuilding, but you can always give it shot. If it seems like it's making a difference coolbeans, if not, go back to the usual 3 sets of 10-12
Thank god... Believe me... I never ever in my LIFE wanted to be this underweight... not for me height... I feel like dog sh*t... That's why I was telling her NOT to try and get a script for a weight loss pill and doctors only write them for MORBIDLY obese people... they tear you apart.... Like this... *tales from the crypt skeleton* I'm starting to get a little weight back... I'm up to 109 today... We'll see if it sticks... *crosses fingers* My point again, was to tell her weight loss pills are not to lose a few pounds, they're for 200+ and they KILL you... Mine was prescribed for a mood disorder... it is off label to treat obesity... yay for me... not... 
I was telling her to run away... RUN AWAY!!! Don't take pills to lose weight, BAD NEWS! Go to the gym girl and eat healthy! 
Plus like I said, we don't just hand out pills whoopy doo anyway...
