As usual a fantastic article by Bret Contreras (Fitness Page). Im getting tired of having this conversation with women so I will say it one last time. Lifting weights WILL NOT make you bulky. Big, muscular men (who incidentally have more testosterone than women, an important muscle-building hormone) train incredibly hard and eat mountains of food in order to build muscle mass and the notion that one could accidentally get huge muscles by lifting heavy weights occasionally is silly. The fact is, classic resistance training is one of the best ways for women to tone muscle, increase resting metabolic rate, and reduce the likelihood of age-related osteoporosis (bone-fragility). So, if you are a girl and struggle to do a single push-up or hold a 2 minute plank, you are definitely not at risk for developing a hugely muscular physique. Just lift, be happy, and watch your results come in. fitnessrxwomen/training/workout-tips-advice/do-light-weights-tone-heavy-weights-bulk/
