    Sorry but this is so dumb. Women will not get big or bulky by lifting heavy UNLESS you have a CALORIC SURPLUS, you will not gain size if you are in a caloric deficit, and by the looks your arms are toning up, I'd rather have that then big flabby arms, women reading this post, actually take advice from a professional who has clients on the daily basis doing heavy lifts to get in shape, you have been warned.

    This thread is just funny and I'm so jealous of your manly guns, mama. I have been neglecting the strength training and even when you're thin, you look better with muscles!!!

    Weight training is where it's at, I am convinced and your "sad" story helped convince me:laugh:
    As you can see in my before picture...I was shapely and very womanly.....

    I feel victim to the notion that woman would NOT bulk up by lifting heavy...boy was I wrong....I wish I had not strayed from doing the ellipticals everyday for 60 minutes...I have so ruined the looks of my body.. I have man arms now :sad: I should not have donated my 3 pound pink barbie weights... I should not have started doing deadlifts ( currently at 180lbs...) Thankfully, I have come to my senses before it was too late!
    THIS is what lifting heavy will do to your bodies ladies...you have beem warned.

    First of all, I don't think your arms bad. But I respect your preferences. I used post all the time about the problems women could have with heavy lifting targeted on areas that they did not want to build up. I posted the following link a few months ago. Many people guffawed.

    Can I just say that I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who almost missed the sarcasm in the original post. :drinker:

    I considered it was sarcasm, given that her arms are not that big, but this remains a real issue for some women.

    Yeah I thought I had this problem to and assumed I was going to skip into a bodybuilding competition. Then the calipers were brought out, and I was told that no I don't have a lot of muscle. I was just fat. lol!!

    Damn woman! You look fantastic!! Can't wait til I can deadlift 180. The people who missed the sarcasm are hilarious... women don't bulk up like crazy! Eesh. Every lady can benefit from heavy lifting, barring injuries and medical conditions. It has done wonders for my mother since osteoporosis starting rearing its ugly head.
