    When I was doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, I quit midway because my arm muscles were getting larger and not going down.

    Nope. This did not happen. Your muscles did not get bigger.

    I certainly do! I hate it. I stick to cardio exercises for the most part. When I was doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, I quit midway because my arm muscles were getting larger and not going down. That was the end of that for me! I have a small frame and it didn't look right. My goals differ from most others on this site, I really just want to lean out. Feel free to add me if you are the same :flowerforyou:

    Oh.

    I swore for years that I put on muscle fast. As soon as I started lifting my measurements and weight went up. My clothes fit tighter and I looked much bigger. Now as a competitive bodybuilder I realize it was mostly swelling and fat, not huge muscles. My legs were the worse and I find now that I have low body fat that's where I store most of my fat.
    In these two pictures I have the same amount of lean mass, but different body fat.
    25%

    18%

    Once again, I am a competitive bodybuilder with low fat, so you will not get a back like the second picture without working hard for it.

    This is AWESOME!! Much more definition, no more mass. It's all about the body fat folks!

    Do you have a back flexing picture at 25% BF, too? I would love to see the flexing comparisons. You have a gorgeous back, by the way. And arms. And shoulders!

    I don't think it's about getting stronger really quickly, which some do. I think the OP was talking about actually putting on bulky muscles, which MOST women don't. My college roommate, however, was an exception. She used to go running while carrying a walkman -- yes, it was in the stone age -- and she had to alternate arms to avoid building up one huge bicep. I kid you not. Wish I had a pic to show.

    Jesus h christ what utter nonsense.

    QFT......she changed cause her arm got tired...:laugh: lack of muscle

    Could you imagine if these women would just change their goal when they realize their talent? It would put the competitive bodybuilding and lifting world on its ear! :laugh:

    Yeah, I was scrolling back to see how it got revived just now and it has pages and pages of new stuff.

    I realized it was an old thread when I saw AZachery.

    Edit: Oh wow, looks like it got revived in June of this year, on the first page.

    Why do people feel like because they have a personal opinion that opinion can't be challenged/wrong?

    But fine. Do you have pictures? Measurements? Any manner of tangible proof that your arms did in fact get bigger, and that it wasn't a temporary swelling?

    It's not possible doing that program to bulk.

    Just adding that this is 30 DAY shred. 30 days. That would likely be glycogen repairs happening that you thought were muscle size gains.

    I saw an alien in my bathtub. I know this seems unlikely and I don't have pictures, but take my word for it.

    Not sure I'd compare me seeing my arms bulk to declaring alien sightings, but all this attention is fun.

    Perhaps muscle was a bad choice of words. But they bulked up and long story short, I stopped. Perhaps I should have kept going. But, I didn't. I don't take progress pics, but I'd take a pic if aliens did show up.

    Saying your arms got bigger on a 30 day SHRED programme is like saying the car engine gets bigger when you step on the gas pedal.

    Well the primary difference is aliens might actually exist.

    sigh.

    no. You didn't. It's impossible to truly gain muscle mass on a program like that espesially eating at a deficit.

    You more than likely had this
    That would likely be glycogen repairs happening that you thought were muscle size gains.

    or you were water weighting it

    or you were losing some body fat- and THOUGHT your arms looked bigger.

    It takes a LOT of work to truly bulk. Most people cant' be bothered to commit to putting down the twinkies and working out 2-3 times a week much less put in the work to truly gain real muscle mass.

    Seriously. You are incorrect- despite what you are telling yourself- you're wrong.
