Have you heard this gym myth?

Okay okay I feel like we might have all heard or read this one before.

Gym Myth No. 2:

“Lifting heavy will make women bulky.”

If I play devils advocate I guess I could see both sides of this statement but it has such a negative connotation doesn’t it?

This myth suggests that women who engage in heavy weightlifting will develop bulky, masculine muscles.

In reality, women generally lack the testosterone levels necessary to achieve the significant muscle hypertrophy associated with "bulking up."

Instead, incorporating strength training with heavier weights into a workout routine can enhance muscle definition, increase metabolism, and contribute to a toned physique.

Moral of the story? Keep lifting heavy ladies 😈
