    That's what happens when women inject male hormones. If you think this is bad, look up "Renee Toney"

    I did. "Nuff said!:noway:
    Wow I would need to see a va jay jay.

    Thank you for beating the dead horse some more.

    Definitely not bulky after lifting heavy. Horny, yes. Bulky, no.

    Just googled Renee Toney. Really that is a female? Wow. I just see zero 'feminine' qualities in her physical appearance.
    I would need proof...there is no way

    This goes on to show that the difference between being a man and being a woman is mainly hormones. That's it.

    I agree with the OP, but I have had this discussion over and over and read it over and over in these forums and I think that there is a translation issue with the term bulky. When SOME women say they don't want to get "bulky" they are actually referring to any sort of muscle definition. Many would call my arm and shoulder in my pic bulky, I'm sure, because there is shape and some definitiion to the muscle, albeit small because I still have high body fat.

    When I think of the term bulky, I think of mass, which is I think what most of the rest of you that promote women lifting heavy on here think as well, right? It is actually quite perplexing to my why a woman wouldn't want some shapliness in her musculature, but I think I am in the minority among alot of women.

    Anyway, just thought I would throw that out there to help clarify things based off of my own, personal observation.

    Brb bulked for 6 months and don't even look like I lift. Feelsbad

    Most women who say they're bulky just need to lose weight, because the actual "bulk" is fat. Of course most women don't like to hear that...

    I agree and used to be one of those people who worried about it, but I actually look and feel better now that I have incorporated strength training into my workout routine, as opposed to just pure cardio. There is definitely a difference between "bulky" and "toned".

    I actually want to get bulky... I mean not disgustingly body builder bulky... which can only really happen for men or women if they are on steroids... but yeah... Can't wait for the day when in can throw down 100 pull ups like it's nothing.

    20% body fat does a good job of covering up all the muscle. Muscle makes everything tight and toned but that fat keeps women from looking manly.

    That translates into a fraction of 1 lb of lean muscle gain in a year in comparison.

    Oh cr*p......brb......doing Zumba.

    BTW: women can gain approx. 1/2 that men can. We have about 1/16th of the testosterone but that does not mean we have 1/16th of the muscle gain potential.

    Yep. They don't want to look "bulky" like Madonna. She's not bulky. She's not even particularly muscular. She just has very, very low body fat.

    Personally I love it, but some may find me too muscular. I think I am just lucky in genetics? I don't know.

    I do think I could look freakin awesome if I had time to lift heavy!

    I think you look pretty freaking awesome now, lifting heavy or not. I'm jealous! ;)

    I agree with this bc the girl who called me bulky at the gym was referring to the amount of muscle I had and my definition not referring to me as needing to lose weight bc that's not the case.

    I only look like this at JUST the right precise angle......and when I flex realllllyyyyy hard. Other than that.....NOONE has and IDEA that I lift. I just have very slender arms with a tiny tone when at rest. Basically...I just look skinny LOL
