So I am well aware women getting bulky by lifting does not happen, but I wanted to see if any women who lift......Get a kick out of flexing, especially after a workout. I will not get bulky by lifting, but with the swelling from a workout; I enjoy making certain muscles flex and feeling like a bada$$. Example after squats, making my quad pop out to the side and looking like I could drop kick anyone.

I completely enjoy the feeling of looking thinner and not bulky but on command can now pop a bicep up, flex my back or make more lines in my legs than I even knew I had muscles. The butt sitting higher is a major plus too. Now I just have to get the tricep to play along.

I know some women worry about being bulky, this will NOT happen without testosterone and much more work than most are willing to do. I just wanted to see if any other women were as goofy as I am and like feeling like a bada$$ with their new found muscles.

Guys feel free to reply, I know many of you love playing the flexing game too :love:

    I still have a bit too much body fat to get a good flex, but the veins in my forearms are visible now. I like to feel them at the end of a workout when they're pumped full of blood...I've never been able to before. :blushing:

    Me!

    i'm not worried about being "bulk" because i know that's just a matter of the amount of body fat you have and i like fried chicken ice cream, booze, pizza and cheese too much to ever be able comfortably be below 20% body fat :laugh:

    but yeah i like the idea of being able to see my muscles at work when i'm working them

    Lmao, tricep is where my stubborn fat is refusing to leave. I work them and can feel them, but have no clue how to see them or if they would be visible anyways :grumble:

    Thanks to usmc, and my noob question on my wall today.....I just found out I can get my front delts to pop and what it was that was popping out :blushing: It is my newest NSV and made me very happy at the gym last night and gave a new enjoyment to bent over barbell rows :drinker:

    I spend more time flexing in the mirror than I should admit to. I'm also a bodybuilder and spend lots of time practicing the poses.

    I do spend a bit too long looking for new lines on my shoulders in the mirror and tensing my legs while I'm sitting - to see if they look like a superhero's yet, obvs.

    I'm confused. So are you saying women can't get bulky?

    I think that what she is saying is that women cannot get bulky *by accident* - that just lifting, in itself, doesn't make women 'bulk up'
