    Option C, none of the above. Toned looks best.

    Muscle, not steroids.

    Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess (New Rules of Lifting for Women) - i.e. Lift heavy.

    Toned simply means you can see the muscle.

    Cool goal on your profile Amanda! As a wrestling woman, you should definitely have some muscles! I think women look best when they're muscular but still have feminine curves.

    I train using a progression of sorts...start with a lighter weight and do 15 reps, move up a little bit in weight then do 12 reps, then move up again a little in weight then do 8 or 10 reps, depending on how you feel. In terms of muscle mass, I'm not super bulky but I do have muscle definition.

    Good luck pursuing your dream!

    The women that look like they're on steroids probably are. Women usually don't have enough testosterone in their body to build muscle like that naturally. Lift heavy!

    Agreed. But don't forget about your cardio. Plyometrics are a good type exercise to combine with weight training.
