A little annoyed by this weight training recommendation.

    I lift heavy...I compete in powerlifting. I'm a size 6. Not sure one could be "bulky" at this size.

    I do have to tell you that my butt is HUGE though...I've had no complaints.

    Bulky, as in look like a dude? No, that won't happen unless you're doing something other than lifting weights (as in steroids or similar).

    That being said, you may have to adjust where you shop and take a little more time looking for clothes. I DO find a lot of off the rack, main-brand clothing doesn't fit great. Arms and shoulder too small (I have naturally wide shoulders for a gal), and I can struggle to fit my arms into sizes that fit my middle. Thighs, too - by the time jeans fit my waist, my thighs don't fit.

    BUT, that doesn't mean there aren't clothes out there, it just means I can't just grab anything off the rack, or if I really love it, may need to buy in a bigger size and have the body altered to fit.

    Yup, I'm with the majority here. I lift heavy, am 5'5"ish, 134 lbs, and a size 2. Not bulky.
