HALP! Heavy Lifting Made Me SUPAH Bulky!!!

somerisagirlsname

I can't wait until I'm strong enough to start lifting heavy. I'm only doing dumbells and machines right now, except for weighted squats on the squat rack, but I'm sure even what I'm doing is better than not doing it at all! Once I up the weight of what I'm doing significantly I'd be up for trying something like Stronglifts.

I'm convinced...I shall be lifting as soon as I can find out how and where to start. I have a gym membership but ashame to go in the weightlifting zone b/c it's always full of men.

I'd rather be around the weightlifting men than the cardio bunnies any day!

You go - you have just as much business in that section as they do, and they usually really respect any woman trying it out.

I like lifting men. Unless they're in my way.

Oh, don't mind me, I just came here to be jealous.

What's going on back there? Somebody talking trash behind someone's back? IDK why, but I for one wouldn't really wanna be caught in the success thread of a FORMER member saying opposites of what that member said because it would seem like throwing air punches or just generally being kind of cowardly. Excuse me while I get back to my yoga.

So, because of all the ladies who posted their results, ive started with a 3 mile track laps and the rest lifting. No, i dont expect to get bulky lol but a hot bod would be nice!

Lifting made me bulky too and I LOVE it:) I looked like this after I had my second baby:( YIKES!! (159lbs, 4'11)

Lost some weight(15 lbs) doing p90x/insanity but still looked like a marshmallow. Started Stronglifts 5x5 in Feb. of this year. I have gotten so much definition and lost 18ish more pounds. I feel like a rock star every time I deadlift weights that are heavier than me:) Before, I struggled to lift my very small kids that weigh 35 and 26 lbs.

I would rather be "bulky" than fluffy any day of the week!!!! (123lbs)


I am not done yet but wanted to share my experience with heavy lifting!

What an awesome transformation! You look fabulous!

10-15 minutes warm-up before lifting.

I love this! I'm on week 3 of NROLFW, I'm putting all my faith in it, and by the looks of the ladies in this thread, it'll happen soon as long as I stick to it.
thanks for the great stories!

in and hopefully I will be able to have results of my own one day. I restarted weight lifting recently after taking some time off from it.
