There is a misconception about female weight training and how we should be eating, supplementing our bodies and exercising. I will reveal a few facts that contradict the old myth about women who lift heavier weights resulting in a 'huge...


Today I know from experience that females do not become huge by simply lifting heavy weights. In fact, if you are trying to narrow down certain areas in size like your waist, arms or hips, pumping iron is the best way to achieve trimmer and firmer areas. When I began to lift weights, it seemed as though I was getting bigger and bulkier at first. This was because I had not been really lean to begin with. It is plain and simple to say that I wasn't eating right.

One question many women ask themselves is how they should be training different from their male counterparts. Women have a tendency to think that they have special needs being a female and if they trained in a similar manner to that of a guy, they would start resembling a guy; growing more muscles then they desire.

Unfortunately, this is a big mistake on their part.

The main thing you have to keep in mind here is that, yes, there are hormonal differences between males and females that will cause them to react in slightly different ways to exercise, and sure, most females probably will struggle a little more with that last little bit of stubborn body fat (probably not what you wanted to hear), but physiologically speaking, both males and females do still have quite a bit in common and females don't need a completely special way of training.

The fact of the matter is that most females are just not going to grow that big. You do not have the testosterone present in your body to do so, so unless you are supplementing with additional testosterone (which 99% of you aren't), building massive muscles should be the least of your concerns.

So, that means, lifting heavier weights does not necessarily translate to a large degree of muscle mass built for you.

Point two to this is that females typically do develop muscle at about half the rate of men, thus, again, this even further proves that you should not be concerning yourself with the thought that you'll spout gigantic muscles overnight if you so much as pick up something heavier than 10 pounds.

Yup.. i have been trying to convince my girl frens the same thing too.. n yet they dont believe me.. i said the most they will get is a body like jessica biel.. which is nais

this thread needs pictars

yeah 

I've been weight-lifting for a year and I must say, weight-lifting + cardio exercises really work better than only cardio alone.

Most of my female friends do not weight-lift because of the myth that girls will get large and bulky~ which I think is stupid...cuz they don't know how hard it is even for a pro-body builder to build their bodies.

I think more ladies should read what TS has posted to clear their doubts..
