    Why the hate for body builders?

    Nobody hating on body builders, but claiming that you've "accidentally" developed a competition level body is absurd.

    OP's last line.

    1000% this, especially as a woman the idea is absurd.

    Ah, That's certainly a possible explanation.

    One of the reasons I almost always use the quote button.

    I was referring to the OP and her "not like a goddamn bodybuilder" line.....

    I have a lot of lean mass from when I was 240lbs. I do think I have more lean mass than most women my height because of my weight history and the fact that I kept most of it lifting while I dieted down, but even still it wasn't what I thought it was. Even now I still have a decent amount of fat even though I look muscular. Trust me here, keep what you have and lift something. That's the only thing that'll save you from the lumps.

    This is one kind of super muscular female body builder doing what must be done to become a super muscular female. Relax. Stay in a calorie deficit and you will lean out eventually.

    But she's not super bulky because of lean mass, she's got a large BF% too. It's necessary for what she doe but let's not pretend that she's some superhuman female muscle wise because she's still female. So even if OP started powerlifting, she's going to struggle to look anything like what she's perceiving as a bodybuilder.

    How about Meg Gallagher (MegSquats) from youtube? She is a competitive powerlifter with quite a following. Does she have too much muscle? She puts in mad gym time and doesn't look close to above picture. Being a powerlifter doesn't mean someone is fat or huge. It's a weight class sport that takes tons of dedication to compete or look even this damn good.

    It is very rare to find a female with too much muscle. Usually people just aren't seeing their body correctly.

    shes not a body builder. she's an Olympic weight lifter. There is a difference. but yes she has muscles and doing what it takes to make them.
