Colormad is right

It is true (and i'd go as far as to call it a RULE) that lifting very heavy weights with few repetitions is intended to increase strength and build muscle, while lifting lighter weights with more repetitions tones muscle. So logic can only conclude that if you continue to lift very heavy weights and BUILD more muscle, your muscles are going to get bulkier.

I think the word "bulky" is being a little overused and misused....from what i can tell, colormad just it meant as, if you lift heavier weights you're gonna build more muscle and therefore, your muscles will be more visible, defined, and bigger (i.e. "bulky").

I used to bodybuild when I was 15-22. women can get big. When they train as hard as men and stick to a strict diet.

god I miss those days...

quinn, do you think it stunted your growth at all? and im not being sarcastic, i was just curious

Would be cool seeing some pictures from those days if you're not too shy, quinn [^]

These were from when I was on either a vegan/vegetarian diet and no gym attendance other than cheer.

I don't have any pics of my mom or sister, but my mummsy goes to the gym for 2 hours a day, lifts heavy weights, eats lots of protein and I still don't think she's big. Don't be afraid to build muscle, most females don't gain an entensive amount unless they intentionally try to. Do whatever you're comfortable with, peesh, start low and work your way up. If at any time you feel too big for your tastes, lower your load. Muscle goes away quite fast when not worked as hard.

Don't be embarrassed by how much you can lift. Males are genetically fit to lift more, but that doesn't mean that hard work and dedication wont give you results. I've heard of girls being able to bench more than the baseball team. The key is building your strength and working your way up. I went to my school's gym for 30 minutes every other day. once I felt comfortable at a weight and no longer was fatigued, I'd add 10 lbs.

Quinn, I finally have some free time in March to get a gym membership. What sort of routine did you follow?

No. I was this height when I was 8 years old. I was the tallest person in my 3rd and 4th grade classes. My mother's mother was under 5ft and my dad's dad was only 5'4''. I come by this height honestly.

Everybody underestimates the short chick. []

I was (and still am) always the one taking the pictures. The only thing I really really sucked at working at was my abs. Hated that shit. A former bf was Mr Indianapolis (lightweight). After I got out of HS I just followed him and did what he did... without the steroids (when you stop taking them boys... everything shrinks).

I loved working my legs. loved loved loved. I think mostly because I could squat more than the football players

and because I am an idiot and can't make just one post today... Larry got me a book for Christmas Supersonic Swingers by Shag. and I think I found my next tattoo.

ooooh he reminds me of jack skellington

hey...does anyone have a picture of any anatometal blings that arent yellow/white? i mean the actual eyelet itself, not the gems. i know there is a pic of some blue ones on the anatometal webiste, but i was just wondering if anyone had seen any blurple or green or something neato like that

I hate working on legs, I had to do calf work when I went to physical therapy. I can squat a bunch, but it bores me to no end.

I'm in love with upper body work outs.

I don't do anything for my abs, I just jump and tumble which uses them.
