    Yes I'm a little bit bulky. But only because I still have a bit of fat to lose.
    I was squatting 125 lb for 5 sets of 3 reps. Deloaded after being sick and am working my way back up. Soon it'll be the big plates :happy:
    YOU LOOK FANTASTIC
    You are not even a little bit bulky, silly! :laugh: :love:

    You are awesome.

    Actually, I'm kind of disappointed. I liked it better when I thought you didn't own any clothes.

    BULKY AND CHUNKY MONKEY :)

    Be kind, try to ignore the workout clothes and tired face.

    I'm squat pressing 3x5 225. BP 3x5 105
    I weigh in at 185# 5'6" But that weight is steadily decreasing.
    Even in my hayday I was bulky. My husband affectionately calls my legs "The Man Hams" lol I agree with other responses that it has to do with genetics. In example. I lift heavy and I'm bulky - My bestie pushes the same weight that I do and she's a Q-Tip and always has been.

    Let's drop the athletes pic discussion- I don't think it's really relevant to compare the bodies of olympic athletes in various sports to regular women who lift heavy. So......can someone please post the next set of MFP member pics!?!

    Let's keep this party going!
    "Do you lift heavy? Are you bulky?" My point was that the answer to the first question has nothing to do with the answer to the second question, and I used a picture of Olympic athletes to demonstrate.

    I'm out.

    Don't let the door hit you...:flowerforyou:

    I'm sure he's not returning, but I couldn't resist.

    Yes - and not overly. I have a large muscular frame to start. I dont feel I am any bulkier than your average person tho.

    Well, I'm workin' on it. I currently weigh around 163 and I am 5'5", so I do still have fat I want to get rid of. I've been lifting heavy since September of 2012, so I have a ways to go yet.
