women with MUSCLES...

also: Your definition of "having muscles" needs some adjustment. That is all.
Well, you might not think I have muscle, but I can do what these guys are doing. Ohh,,Ghetto!

I prefer function over aesthetics.
What is wrong with both? A lot of those peeps have visible muscles and can do it.0 -
Edited to say My Question was Asked and Answered. I should have read the other responses before I posted:blushing:0

I guess I should of been more clear from the get go... Im not saying I dont want to look like the 2nd pic.. I think she looks amazing.. and that is way better than what I look like now.. or I wouldnt be here.. I just dont want to have arms bigger than my husband.. LOL.
I'd bet money that Jamie's biceps are no bigger than 12" flexed probably smaller (that's what mine are and I'm 7" taller and higher body fat). If your husbands biceps are smaller than 12", HE should probably he the gym....
Oh, wait, they are 11".

Mine are 12" also. :sad:
I've posted these before. Jamie's arms when she's cut and flexing.
Jamie's arms when she's at a slightly higher body fat and not flexing.
If you don't want her arms, don't go competition level lean (which ain't easy!) and don't walk around fully flexed.0 -
I don't want to look like that either. I'd rather stick with this -
better start practicing your Photoshop skills then. Because even *they* do not look like that.
I can just imagine how photoshoped those VS girls are!
What you say now?0 -
Cardio 2-3 days/week, weights 2-3 days /week. Moderate weights. She definitely works those legs...those don't happen by accident. I think she looks great...a bt skinny at times, but healthy overall. You can tell she works hard.
Most of Carrie underwood is diet though. High protein, low fat, moderate carb, I assume.
If you don't want to look like a fitness model, that is your preference. I would ignore the dissenters. :-)0 -
I would love to look like that too.I do not want to look like this.
that is just to much for me..
Really? I'd love to look like that. You do realize that Jamie Eason is flexing and posed to clearly show off her muscles, while Carrie Underwood is just...standing there. Their legs look pretty similar to me, so I'm guessing it's Jamie's upper body definition you want to avoid?
If you don't want to look defined, then don't let your body fat % get too low.
This is out of a magazine as she poses for a shoot. There are ways to look that muscular right before a shoot the same way figure competitors do it before the contest when they are dehydrated and do carb loading and depleting to hit it
kudos to the dude that posted the other photo of her not flexing and tanned up0 -

lol! I have a rule - if my biceps (insert muscle) are bigger than yours then no you may not have my phone number! My boyfriend jokes that he'd better start lifting or I might break up with him.

sorry, I'd rather look like this then Jamie Eason.

Precisely! These competitors don't even walk around contest ready.0 -

I wonder if that is the look that the OP is looking for as it was her post asking about how to get a certain physique.0 -

Yes those VS models are photoshopped, but they are also part of the very tiny population who are genetically predisposed to have the body/face/height combo they have. Models like them are born, not made imo. A much more unattainable look for most of us.
^ Both of these women (they are the two VS models in the center in the first picture) have two children, and both had a baby within the past 8 months.0 -
I can appreciate that you have a certain preference to how you want to look. Each and every one of us has a target body type that we are shooting for. Nothing wrong with that.
My advice is always that same. Worry only about what body type you wish to achieve. Waste no time fretting about what you DON"T want to look like. Life is short, training is hard, and the road is long. You will NEVER look like what you don't wish to achieve because woman you don't wish to look like works day and night for that body. Her training schedule, her eating schedule, her supplements, even her sleeping schedule is all focused on having the body she wants.
Way too many people think they are going to start some random training dvd or program and wake up one day with this 'EWW SO BULKY' body that they never wanted. Ain't gonna happen. Never has, never will.
Spend all your time and efforts working toward your goals, not working away from someone else's goal.
Very well said.
Being afraid of getting big muscles is like wanting to start jogging, but being afraid you might run a marathon by accident.
Both brilliant posts ^^^0 -

All due respect EA, but I'm not sure how this is relevant to the thread at hand. This woman looks great. I have no problems with her body at all. Nor do I have a problem with Eason's or Underwood's.
But lemme ask you a question. If you wanted to look like the image above, would you say you wanted MUSCLES? Would you call this a muscular physique?0 -
I'd give my right arm to look like the woman in the second photo. Holy hotness and awesome body!0
-
it's interesting that some women think that being toned is something that doesn't involve muscle.. if you know that muscle is heavier than fat then why wouldn't you want to have that? i think that's beautiful and i would love to gain muscle, plus you have to really eat big to be big.. all you need to stick with is meats and veggies.. cause personally i don't like having to take my food as a pill/supplement..=(0

^QFT - All of the above!0 -
Women don't really get to decide whether we look too muscular for our own tastes at a certain body fat percentage or not. If you're naturally muscular and you get lean, those muscles are going to show. Just speaking as a woman who has muscles that show, whether I lift heavy or not.0

actual 'women with MUSCLES' doing some of the things women do to get muscles.

including some awesome chinups right around the 2:00 mark.0 -

No , I'd call it fit. Slim and fit. You know I'm big on functional performance, yoga , swimming and so on. It gives me the body i like and can enjoy. Gyms bore me. working on playground stuff now. Fun!http://youtu.be/E3N-v5Y-2fs 0 -
why wouldn't you want to look like Jaime Eason? And why is she posing with those tiny weights?? Because I'm SURE that's what she uses to work out ...0

I'd rather look like any of the models posted in this thread rather than look like me.

Shush you...you look great0 -
Sorry, I focus on how strong I want to feel, not how I look. As for food, if you want to get lean lean lean eat a lot of protein, some fat, and low carbs.0

I'd rather look at your pictures than at any of the models in this thread, and I'm a straight woman, and an artist who draws people.0 -

I don't go to a gym. I do yoga, and handstands, and chinups and pullups on a jungle gym at the park. I like the way I look so why should I change that?0 -
