Absolutely! Not only does it tone you up, it will actually make you lose body fat a lot faster than doing cardio.0

Stop lying. This won't happen. I won't grow 5 inches, get lighter skin, grow longer hair, and have the body of a super model (or porn star...). So keep your lies to yourself lady.0

Both women in the pics lift weights. Vastly different outcomes.
Why?0 -
@HorrorChix89! " Stop lying. This won't happen. I won't grow 5 inches, get lighter skin, grow longer hair, and have the body of a super model (or porn star...). So keep your lies to yourself lady. "

It's not that simple. I'm all for strength training, and I do it, but some women do get bigger -- not enormous, but larger than they'd like in certain areas.
The first woman in the photo may be taking steroids. The second woman looks as she does because of her genetics. It's sort of like just because you study ballet doesn't mean you'll have the body of a ballerina. You have to be born with that basic shape.0 -

Woman in picture one will train for hours and hours a week, eat like 5000 calories a day and most likely takes steroids or hormones - and most importantly she is aiming to look like that! It's very hard for women to bulk up, and impossible to bulk up quickly or by accident xD0 -

I was about to ask OP if that meant I would grow some big boobies like that when I start lifting. If so, I'll start tonight!0 -
<---- Lifts heavy weights 4 times per week.
I'm not "bulky" by any stretch of the imagination, yet I just got back from the gym a few minutes ago where I was squatting 10 pounds more than my total body weight. :flowerforyou:0 -

I run about 3x a week and attend boxing class on Thursday nights. The boxing class is very upper body intensive (lots of pushups, punching, sparring, skipping). I have found that I personally feel like I'm getting pretty beefy in the shoulders, biceps, lats and wonder if perhaps it's starting to go over the top.
If I were to start actively lifting weights, or hitting up more boxing classes, I think that I might end up looking less like the chick in the bottom pic, and more like the one on the top (not to THAT extreme tho).
I think some of it is genetics as to how the muscles respond to weights, and also the type of lifting you do - a lot of low weight reps, or a smaller number of heavy weight reps.
All that said...
I think I like this new beefy look... :-P0 -
