If I Lift Weights I'll Get Bulky
If you were to look at 1 pound of fat, and 1 pound of muscle side by side, you would notice how much smaller the muscle is even though it’s the same weight. Meaning, the more muscle you have on your body, the less space you will take up. Many people -- both men and women -- think that lifting weights will make you look like a bodybuilder. That’s like saying studying physics will turn you into Einstein. The amount of time, food and discipline it takes to get huge from weights is almost a full-time job -- and sometimes influenced by illegal substances. So embrace weight training. You’ll feel and look leaner and rev up your metabolism.

I am lifting weights to look less bulky...right now I look like a beached hippo.

not the same kind of bulky....

Oh I totally understand what you meant by the original post. I am just commenting that while yes my weight lifting isn't directly affecting my weight loss, it makes me feel better thinking it does....hehe.

The weight lifting myth is crazy, people look at those body builders and don't realize that some of really jacked ones are on steroids hgh whatever else they can use. I recently convinced a woman that lifting weights wouldn't make her look like a female body builder now she loves lifting.
