    Yeah, heavy weights will make you look like She Hulk...

    (Even Marvel knows what's up.)

    :laugh: ^^^ Too funny!
    But judging by the women on here who lift heavy, "watching her diet" means making sure she gets over 100g of protein and about 2000 calories a day or more. I'm sure she monitors her intake carefully, but I doubt she's a 1200-or-less girl.

    Wait you mean eating 800-1000 calories a day isn't enough?! But, but I won't lose weight?! Protein powders are for men aren't they?! I'm gonna get fatter! :wink:
    Where's the sarcasm font when ya need it

    Definitely Agree with ya hun :drinker:

    I think to get that big it would require taking some sort of supplement or hormones.

    Lifting weights causes women to get their hair done and wear full make-up to the gym?

    A normal woman can't get that big without estrogen blockers, testosterone enhancers, and/or steroids (mack daddy of testosterone enhancers). One of my old gyms had a lot of the female wrestlers and body builders working out there (back in the late 90s) and they openly talked about what they were using.

    It drives me nuts when people come over to my place and see all the weights. They start asking if I am trying to be a body builder.

    I have been using a combination of cardio and weight training. Cardio is done on an elliptical machine. The results were okay but seemed to plateau for me. That is, I got my fitness to a certain level which was a lot better than where I started but then it leveled off as did any weight loss. It seemed that mostly what I was doing was sweating. Then I enhanced my weight training routine using a TotalGym. While I have never got to a point like the man in the background of this picture, I have noticed an improvement in muscle fitness. My doctor noticed it too during a physical and told me that musculature combined with diet should accelerate my weight loss. After the holidays I got serious about diet and the weight loss has begun.

    Will women bulk up with weight training? If you check out the TotalGym website and look at before/after pictures of the women who have succeeded at weight loss using resistance training, I don't think you will be able to find any who are "bulked up." I think they would likely tell you that resistance training led to toned muscle fitness that, when combined with a right diet, accelerated their metabolism and weight loss.

    You don't need a TotalGym for this either. A simple set of weights or dumbbells like the woman in the second picture is sufficient. Just use the weights right and enjoy the results. If you are plateaued like I was in your weight loss, weight training might get things moving again. I agree with the one commenter who said the woman in the first picture has taken some serious steroids. My guess is the guy in the background did exactly the same thing.

    The top picture shouldn't be relevant to lifting it should read what happens when women take steroids and hormones

    No. Women that look like that are on so many supplements its crazy and they aren't necessarily healthy due to the lack of body fat. You'll be fine. Be prepared to buy smaller clothes.

    that is VERY true

    so many women refuse to lift weights because they think they will get huge. what they dont realize is they will just look GREAT without flabby stuff.

    ROFL! Good one.

    In all seriousness, I'm not worried about being bulky because besides being highly unlikely, I'd actually be okay with being a little large as long as I wasn't so *jiggly*.
