I’ve probably linked this article before but no matter, the topic of women getting “bulky” from lifting weights comes up from time to time so I thought I’d throw out this small section and recommend everyone read the article in its entirety so that we can all squish this cultural myth together. When it comes to women and their lack of strength training, the most common concern seems to be that they don’t want to get big and buff. I completely understand this concern because I don’t want to get big either. I’m as girlie as they come and I don’t plan on that changing. Now I’m going to tell you a secret: it is almost impossible for you to get big and burly. As a woman, your body does not make enough of the hormone required to get big. Period. The equation for a woman to significantly increase her muscle size is to consume thousands and thousands of calories, plus extreme and unnatural supplementation, plus lift a ton of weight with a lot of volume. I’m not asking you to do any one of these things, much less all three!
As for the workout, can numbers rhyme? Ask Steve for more information on this curious question.
