Im a female bodybuilder. Does that surprise you? Youre probably thinking, No youre not! You dont look like a dude w bulging muscles and veins! Your skin isnt dark brown and shiny from tans and oils! You dont carry all your food around in a cooler! If THATS your definition of bodybuilding, girls - read this article. Rachel McLish (a female bodybuilder) once said that the thing about bodybuilding is that it showcases our genetics. Let this point sink in because itll set you free. ...there is no need for us to worry about what other people look like, or strive for a look thats not within our genetic potential. It means theres no reason to compare yourself to someone else who has different genetics. And we all have different genetics. Be the best YOU you can be. Compete with yourself - how can you get stronger, more flexible, faster, etc. - not the girl at the gym who has a different body that will never be yours. :) But seriously. Lift heavy ish and stop eating like a bird and trying to look like the air-brushed Barbies in magazines. Pick up a barbell, fuel your body right, and truly see what youre capable of. Youll build so much more than muscle:) t-nation/training/redefining-the-female-bodybuilder
