Lifting heavy weights will not create big bulky muscular women. This crazy myth is one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry. It requires a heck of a lot of work and bio-chemical alterations in the neuro-endocrine system for big bulky muscular women to occur. As a result, this societal perpetuated myth has created apprehension and fear in the minds of women. Women who lift heavy weights several hours per day while under the influence of anabolic steroids and growth hormone will certainly produce big bulky muscular women. For the conventional woman who desires to lose a few pounds and simply tone up, creating big bulky muscles is not an issue. In fact it simply won’t happen. The female gender lacks significant levels of natural serum testosterone to achieve muscular growth or anabolism.

If you were to examine female body builders or big bulky muscular women who lift weights, you will notice they are very devoted to this narcissistic lifestyle.

There is no lifestyle balance to speak of,They consume a squeaky clean, protein rich diet to aid in muscle growth and repair. When competition draws near they dramatically cut all calories, eliminate almost all carbohydrates and amp up their cardio workouts to numerous hours daily in order to accelerate muscular leaness. In their spare time they will take advantage of extra sleep and / or can be found hanging out at tanning booths.

So for you women who are still sitting on the wall contemplating getting yourself in the best shape of your life with a balanced weight training program, time to jump off that wall. Just remember that big bulky muscular women who lift weights is a myth, but lean, slender, well defined muscles in women who weight train properly and chemical free, is the gold standard for enhancing a decaying sloppy body.
