Any ladies afraid of bulking up too much?

BinaryPulsar

thanks everyone who has helped out the newer MFPers and/or women who ARE afraid of lifting heavy because they're afraid of getting bulky. I have had A LOT of inbox messages and friend requests saying how this thread and my/our advice has encouraged them to lift heavier because THEY WERE afraid.

one thing we should all remember-- This site is for encouragement. We are all here to support each other. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even opposing opinions. But to be discouraging and demeaning is rude and it doesn't attract those who are seeking help.

Thanks again

I'm really sorry you feel that way. Because that was not my intention in any way. I was new here and I encountered other people being mean and demeaning about this issue, so I misunderstood you. I completely misunderstood you. And it was not because of you, it was because I misunderstood you. But, I understand now. And I am genuinely trying to say that I am sorry. For real. I hope you can see that and understand and accept my apology. You don't have to. But, either way it is important to me to say that I misunderstood (I really did) and I am very sorry. Best wishes to you and everyone. I understand now. And I am saying it is good advice and a good post. I hope you can just hear that. I know that if you could hear my voice, you would know that I am sorry and I am being genuine about that. I just started lifting heavy 3 days ago, literally. I am afraid of getting injured because I am dancer and I have had past injuries (I was hit by a car), and I'm doing it on my own. So, you all helped me too. I don't want to be on bad terms because I am here to learn and I need to learn. I am new to this, as I have been trying to say.
