    Very interesting and helpful, thank u, this is always something i struggle with. im always unsure of how much lift and how many reps sets etc....im very afraid of looking bulky cuz im short and naturally muscular.

    I told my trainer I wanted to "bulk up" and I think he died from the shock. No, I don't want to look like a female body builder, but I do want visible muscle definition. I know I won't get enormous muscles by accident and I figured when I got to the point where I was happy with my muscle definition, I'd just tell him to stop "bulking" me.

    Love this! I hate how afraid most girls are of lifting weights. They always come up and ask me how I got such great muscle "tone." Then they go to the gym with me and don't want to lift 25lb free weights- because it will make them look bulky!
    I don't get it! lol
