Women Will NOT Get Bulky from Lifting Weights
Written by Lauren Fisher
ATTENTION all women and even you men with women in your lives. This post is for you!

You will NOT get bulky from lifting weights. For all those women who are too afraid of going to ‘that section’ of the gym or who tell their coaches they don’t want to lift because they don’t want to get too muscular…or for those men who are afraid the girl they’re dating is going to start getting huge…this couldn’t be further from the truth.

If you are training twice a day, accumulating 4+ hours of training a day, then you might possibly start to add more muscle mass like the elite athletes. At the level those athletes are at though, they care more about performance than aesthetics. But even us women will still never get as bulky as men because we produce 5 to 10% the amount of testosterone men do which limits the amount of muscle we are able to put on.

I am also a good example that you can’t get big (even with the amount of training I do). I work out 4-6 hours a day, eat around 3000 calories per day, and I’ve been doing this for 11 years. No matter how strict I am with my diet and training, I am still one of the smaller athletes in my sport at around 135lbs. Everyone is built differently and we are all beautiful in our own body types.

I promise if you are just working out 4-5 days a week anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes, be prepared to get a lean strong and more powerful body. Not only this, but you will feel better about yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. So let’s stop the stigma everyone, women can (and should) lift weights too!

PS. If anyone thinks I look too muscular in this picture, that’s because I’m putting in a lot of effort into this movement and my muscles are going to look a lot more muscular than if I’m standing still. That my friends is called hard work. 💪 Love you all!
