I find it so hard being strong as a female, and particularly as a dancer. Not because I feel unattractive to maels but because I know that women see my body as undesirable. I've had women come to me that didnt want o run on the treadmill cos they thought they'd get bulky calves. Those of you looking for an industry to study in to make big money in the future?

I'm 5'5" 130 lbs, and after lifting heavy for 7 months now, no one would guess that I spend 6 days/week in multiple gyms across town. My dinky triceps still don't scream "skullcrushers," even though I train them 3 times a week @ 6-10 rep range. And I work hard to eat perfectly with plenty of animal/plant protein. so yeah, I totally agree with the author. Women can definitely benefit from strength training without fearing that they'll look like a dude.<br /><br />and Rugbylicious, I'm willing to bet my life savings that Jennifer Stanos strength trains regularly, as well as other slender but sexy celebrities like Jessica Alba and Megan Fox. Any suggestion of curves in the arms, shoulders, back, abs, and legs clearly indicates to me that they've been actively training those muscles to either increase or maintain that size. Jessica Biel has an amazing athletic and sexy figure -- she just has more muscle and a much lower body fat % than the other 2 girls. Whether or not someone thinks she's "bulky" is a personal preference. <br /><br />I think re-educating women is now word-of-mouth, because TV isn't helping and gyms aren't either, since they're always marketing their aerobics classes. So I do my girlfriends a favor and I drag them with me to the weight room. They usually fall in love after a few workouts and after a few inches lost.<br /><br />That said, thanks for writing this. and by the way, I found your blog while I was Googling "Jessica Biel Strength Train" because I wanted more insight about her. She looks like a damn goddess to me.<br /><br />juliejulie lee amosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042054050098494228.post-81776580517382589712009-09-02T16:10:44.039-07:002009-09-02T16:10:44.039-07:00Another point is that Jessica Biel herself has see...Another point is that Jessica Biel herself has seen herself as "too bulky" whatever her definition is. She has changed personal trainers because of it, same with Jennifer Garner. Whether its lean mass, bulk, less body fat, some girls don't want to look very muscular. I am sure you have seen those gross pictures of Madonna arms, she isn't "too bulky" but no woman in her right mind wants to look like that. You just have to learn to talk the woman's language and help her towards her goals, not talk down to her because she "can't get bulky because its hard for guys"LJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042054050098494228.post-59233855634483666352009-09-02T12:29:34.566-07:002009-09-02T12:29:34.566-07:00By the way, Rubylicious or whatever you're nam...By the way, Rubylicious or whatever you're name is.

I think Jessica looks incredibly attractive. And I really doubt many women actually think they're going to get "Arnold"esque. But I'm pretty sure I could sit down and watch Blade III and most women are going to compliment her more than once on her figure. <br /><br />I probably was a bit general, I apologize. And I do feel as though I have as good an understanding as I can as to where women are coming from. <br /><br />But no matter what I feel that the more women strength train the better we're doing our jobs, cause changing this bullshit stigma that women can't do things really pisses me off.Adam Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570764011524832634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042054050098494228.post-42183833269571633812009-09-02T09:14:28.468-07:002009-09-02T09:14:28.468-07:00LOLfitness:

What do you think women mean when they say 'bulk'?<br /><br />Women aren't afraid to get bulky like female bodybuilder, they're afraid to get bulky like Jessica Biel. The majority of women out there think visible lean mass is unattractive. <br /><br />http://www.leighpeele.com/bulky-muscles-and-training-females-the-definition<br /><br />I agree with everything you say, but stop misunderstanding what women say when they mean "afraid to bulk", and stop telling them they have nothing to worry about because they'll never look like arnold.<br /><br />If you want to get more women into strength training, why not take their fears seriously?LOLfitnesshttp://lolfitness.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
