Muscle on a Woman

in Fitness and Exercise
I read loads of threads that refer to women heavy lifting, and how they will not bulk up, not gain much noticable muscle, will just look slimmer etc. Obviously this is awesome, and I very much enjoy the early results of weight lifting having been doing it for the past 4 months or so now.

I personally like the muscled look on a woman, I'm talking fitness realms here though not steroid enhanced bulk! I think a bit of obvious muscle on a woman is cool, and would eventually like to achieve this myself. Anyone with me on this? Just wondering as I read so much advice on weightlifting, not looking muscled etc. What about the ladies that actually want to look ripped? lol I know there are a few on here, they are sooo inspiring. Also whats the men's view on muscle bound ladies? Is less more? Or do you think it's hot? My OH isn't keen on muscle on a lady....we just have to agree to disagree on that one.

Views please!

    You'll get as many answers on this as there are people - it's probably pretty subjective....

    ....but my 2p's worth is that muscles on girls are hot!

    That is my goal although I've been lifting heavy for over a year now. Although I now have toned arms but I want it to look a bit more muscley.

    A sufficient amount of muscle on a woman's body is actually sexy but too much will cause the opposite.

    Yeah I suppose your right, i was just pondering on the subject this morning. They tease me at work (knowing I do weights at the gym) asking me if I want to be a 'muscle woman'! It's only lighthearted though. People's views on women and weightlifting still seem to be in the dark ages sometimes!!

    I'm the same I want to be toned and look strong, but not madonna arms. Doing weights 3 times a week increasing each week and having the protein to rebuild muscle. Hopefully see more definition with persistance.

    I lift weigths mainly to stay in shape and to train for climbing. I use heavy weigths low rep for strength and ligth weigths long reps for endurance. This gives you "quality" muscle that you can use in different sports, not just for athletic looking.

    My other half trains with me, eats like me, and looks slim and muscled, very sexy. I challenge anyone to say that this look:

    Is anything but a good attractive look?

    Muscle on a woman is amazing, and for me there is no LIMIT because its HER body. Just in the same way some people cover themselves in piercings or tattoos, or get smashed every week on booze or over weight due to food choices.

    I think hard-earned, sculpted muscle is the ideal for a woman, and always looks a lot more femininity than the "skinny fat" you see from ladies who get monogamous with the eliptical.

    She is my other half, my good lady.

    I'm lucky to have her but her results are down to her incredible determination, hard work and sticking to a good diet and not straying onto junk unless its one of the cheat meals, twice a week. No luck :smile:

    Thanks guys for your kind words :flowerforyou:

    i like to think i say each to their own and not judge people for what they want to look like, personally though i can't stand female body building they look revolting, but its just my opinion.

    i put on muscle very easily, my legs for instance have never really had any fat on them and the muscle definition is there, i get comments on them all the time because they are what people strive for in the gym and i have them naturally. my preference would be to have slim shapely girlie legs, but i have learned to show them off to their best as they are my best feature (well they are now lol)

    Who said about what level of bodybuilder level athlete they are?

    There is bikini, fitness, figure and body building levels of female body building. People always look at the most extreme examples. Sad really.

    That said, a female body builder of any level is (of course only IMO) far better looking than ANY woman who is obese (30% plus body fat). I'd rather see tight muscle than rolls of fat.

    I want muscle!

    I think most men tbh, when they hear "do you like muscle on a woman?" they have an image in their head of a female bodybuilder, usually the unnatural ones. A woman with a decent fitness model type amount of muscle or even a bit more than that I'm pretty sure most men would either find attractive or not care either way.

    From my boyfriend's point of view, he finds healthy and natural looking women attractive. You can be really muscular but as long as it doesn't look like it's through unnatural means (male hormones) then he'll like it. None of this "a woman should look like this..." crap. A woman should look how she ends up looking, that is a real woman. As long as she's healthy (not obese, or very underweight) and is natural, the woman can be attractive.

    - Two of the Gaspari girls - most girls who train, frank, look amazing when diet is done correctly.

    I think it is sexy to have some good definition. A six pack can even be sexy on a woman.

    I definitely just creeped and GIRL YOU LOOK AMAZING!

    I have been doing lifting for 3-4 weeks now and I love the results so far. I think muscle of girls just shows hard they look after their selves without starving their selves!

    Exactly.

    And when someone says its obsessive to train etc... look at reality - an hour or two at the gym vs:

    -Several hours in front of the TV each night
    -Drinking until you cannot work
    -Eat so that you gain massive mounds of fat
    -Hours on video games

    You get the point! Is it not better for one to keep oneself healthy - you get one body - best to keep it running the best you can - you are in it and use it more than ANYTHING you will own in your life time and maybe, your body, will be depended on by your kids and family too, so not to fail and get ill.
