Whenever I tell a male that I am trying to add more muscle and am weight-training, frequently these men frantically urge me not to weight train because I’m going to get too big and muscular and become unattractive and manly. I am a tiny female with a small frame and there is no way I am going to get bulky. I just don’t have the body type or the substantial amount of testosterone required to add massive amounts of muscle. Anyone who lifts heavy weights knows how difficult it is to add muscle. I’m going to continue lifting and challenging myself, because being strong is sexy, no matter what gender you are.
