It depends on what she wants. Normally girls would like a longer sleeker look. Therefore they WONT bust out the heavy weight for low reps. Rather girls will normally lift lighter weights for high reps such as 15-20. If you want a huuuge bia, tell her to lift like a man. lol. Use lots of free weights for full range of motion too. PEACE!

i disagree...my girlfriend is 110 and does deads,deep squats, bent rows, t bar, dips, close grip pull ups basically my routine except she wont directly workout chest...and her muscles have a very nice shape to them, its the food that makes people bulky, not the training...i feel that this way helped her achieve her muscles she wanted much faster.
