Do weights cause girls to bulk up?

[Anonymous]

i always do 3 minutes of walking on the treadmill and a couple of yoga poses to keep my arms slim and toned. my friend said I should lift weights but I like being delicate and petite and don't want to bulk up. does it cause bulking? men: is it better to be manly and bulky or feminine and petite?

It takes A LOT of work before girls start to bulk up. I've seen attractive girls hit the weights hard in the gym and still look very feminine. You don't have to worry about becoming "manly" anytime soon. You just don't have the testosterone to stimulate that kind of growth. That having been said, you should do "a lot" of work on your legs with weights. A little thickness and definition is extremely hot. Legs with some shape to them are so much better than sticks.

She *shouldn't* do "a lot" of work on her legs. It's a choice

I'm not forcing her to do anything. I'm just offering an opinion. I said "a lot" jokingly. I just meant that if she did happen to bulk up a little in that area, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Girls not on steroids or something like that are not going to bulk up very qickly lke guys. Unless you do a lot of really heavy weights for a long period of time, you're not going to bulkup signficantly. Still, for better overall development, it's best to mix weights with cardio

No, they won't cause bulking

And it's better to be skinny fat or slim and less muscular. More feminine and you'll never hear guys complain of thin girls but you will hear negative things about overly muscular women

Thin arms, thin legs and a thin body is the best

I'd kill for thin legs :/

Legs with some shape and definition to them >>> thin legs (in my opinion, and I know I'm not the only one). Besides, have you ever seen a girl with toned legs who doesn't have a great butt?

I'm only concerned with my perspective of my body, not other peoples or how other people feel about masculine chicks

[wertsdfg]

That's exactly how it should be. I'm just saying that you might be a little too hard on yourself, that's all.

well lifting weights burns a lot of calories,and it does build muscle over time-but girls don't have the testosterone to build huge muscles. still,if you want to stay delicate-yoga,pilates and cardio will do more good.

You only walk for 3 minutes?

But no, it won't cause bulking. To bulk up that takes A LOT of work and effort as well as a certain strict protein diet. Lifting weights will help tone you up more.

A little weight training is not going to cause you to "bulk up" out of nowhere. Using lightweight will help you tone muscles. Bulking takes time, heavy weight lifting, and diet that consist of more calories and protein.

If you feel like you want to tone up a bit then do some light weight training. Bulking up is not something that is just going to sneak up on you and you wake up a hulkish woman.

feminine and petite is the obvious answer, but odds are you won't get bulky by doing those weights anyways. it doesn't come that easy and it'd most likely take you consuming more protein and calories than you are AND working with high weights / low reps. you'll be alright

Lifting weights will not bulk you up. Women lack the necessary testosterone levels. You can lift dumbells all you want, you'll still look sexy.

bitch please you're not using nearly enough drugs to be anything even resembling muscular
