Episode description
Women do not get bulky because we train too much.
We get bulky because we start eating too damn much!
I’ve been training since I was 13 in the gym lifting progressively heavier – my max dumbbell shoulder press at the moment is 27.5 LB for example, and squats 25 KG + 50 LB and I still don’t get bulky getting leaner, stronger and tighter instead.
Why?
Because I watch what I eat and adjust my diet according to the results I see in the mirror and the direction I want to go.
Women have just a fraction of men’s amount of testosterone (the hormone in charge of muscle-building ability of our body), 1/16th approx. The only women who bulk up are the professional competitors taking hormones externally through injections and taking other anabolic hormones.
Long story short – the only way you can bulk up is to train hard and eat too much. And that bulking up will not be muscle but mostly fat.
So forget about tight-toned look, when you start training hard without controlling your food consumption.
Train hard. Follow a meal plan. Measure your results. Adjust your diet. Keep training hard.
