    Lifting makes women big? WRONG! Cake makes women big. Lifting makes women sexy.

    Actually, I think it was Dwight who said it best:

    You are correct. Saw that pic on fb not to long ago. It is true.

    I concur with the majority on here that lifting won't make me bulky, but that mom was adamant about it, so I just wanted to be sure I am not turning myself into a she-male.

    I'm also finding that on my rest days I am dead-beat exhausted. Could this be from lifting so much and eating at a deficit?

    ^ mommy, probably that and/or not enough sleep.

    I typically do two heavy compound movements and 1 or 2 isolation exercises every day. If I pick up a light weight now it just feels kind of... pointless. I'd rather not sit there and pump out 20+ reps to get some benefit from it.

    Oy. She could not be more wrong. Yes, I lift heavy every workout.

    I know a girl who touched a barbell once. She turned into the she-hulk over night. NEVER LIFT HEAVY!!!!

    I don't lift heavy every day, but I lift heavy every time I lift...

    ^ This.

    <--- I've been lifting heavy for several months. Before that, I lifted moderately heavy for a few years. Look at what a hulking beast I've become! :laugh:

    Well, I've lost almost 70 pounds lifting heavy each time (3-4 days a week) and I'm doing the opposite of bulking up, so I think you're good :)

    Thor?

    Clearly, you are in no position to comment on the Hulk's chances.

    On a serious note ...

    I added lifting (Stronglifts) to my exercise plan because lifting not only adds muscle to your body but it also strengthens your bones. That can prevent osteoporosis and other bone related issues down the track.

    Plus it feels damned good!

    When girls worry about lifting and getting bulky I tell them "look, even if you did get bulky quick while lifting, you can just stop lifting once you get too big. You start losing muscle very soon after you stop your programme."
