Results typical with use of steroids, not from lifting 10 pounds.
It’s so rare that I see women so fit their rippling biceps are bursting through their shirts. In fact, let’s be real clear—I see more women with fat arms than fit, women with thin arms than toned, so I just cannot understand the fear of the dreaded muscular bulk.
Trainers that advocate high reps with 3-5 pounds are, in my view, unknowledgeable and useless. Ouch. But it’s true, even though it’s my opinion.
They continue to perpetuate the myth that heavy weights will cause women to build she-man bulk.
I am a bulk generator, I can gain muscle size from yoga. As a kid I was taunted about my veins and the fact that my biceps were bigger than most boys. But now, I am grateful for my muscles, I have confidence in the fact that the bigger they are, the more they’ll help me through life—to hike the mountains I love, or someday, throw my kids around without throwing out my back.
Go forth ladies and embrace being muscular. Muscle is the new sexy, thin arms are sooo yesterday, I know this because I passed it on to my way to getting sexy, defined arms.

great post! when ever i suggest to a lady to start a weight training program their excuse is that they don’t want to bulk up. if only it were that easy. there’s a lot to be learned from female bodybuilding programs though:
