I think it's ugly when a woman has a man chest or even looks like a man. If a woman lifts like a man, she will eventually get a body like a man. Breast is fat and fat can shrink in that area, leaving women with men breasts and that's why so many bodybuilder women get breast implant.
You don't have any idea what you are talking about, and should therefore stop talking.0 -
<---- Looks like a bulky man, obviously.
OP, to answer your question, when I'm working out with dumbbells I am usually using 20-25# sometimes 30#. Though, I still use them for compound movements like cleans, snatches or thrusters. I can't remember the last time I did a bicep curl on it's own.
Hope this helps!0 -
Honestly, what are bulky muscles? Do you have a link or a photo of someone "bulky?"
As a woman, I'm so tired of hearing this.
The point of lifting weight is resistance. After a while, whatever weights you lift will become too easy. You will have to increase weights or you'll just be wasting your time.
Yay! for this. I just did a BL DVD and I swear the one chick said, "I don't need heavier weights because I'm a girl." WTF?!?!
And she was using 3 lb weights at one point. Really?!?!0 -
I would like to thank this thread for making me feel like it's Friday.0

I lift as heavy as possible (low reps/high weight), and I hardly look bulky or manly. And btw, I'm 47. So this works. Just sayin'.0

You know, nopedotjpeg's name sums up my reaction to everything he's been saying.
And what is that? That you have to stress muscles for them to adapt? Or that women don't get "man chests" by lifting?0 -
Define "man chest"....
Go!0 -

Any thread with AZackary in it is worth bumping just to see how ridiculous it gets.0 -

Did I miss the memo? Is AZackery just a master troll?
I just find it easy to believe that she's really like this for some reason.0 -
