WEIGHT LIFTING MYTHS DEBUNKED-ABOUT WOMEN

Are you a women that might be interested in the sport of body building or weight lifting? If so read this. You won't be disappointed!!!!

DOES WEIGHTLIFTING MAKE YOU BULKY AND LOOK MANLY?

NO! Women don't, and won't make as much testosterone (one of the main hormones that build muscle size) as a man. It is impossible to gain huge amounts of muscle mass by just lifting some weights. The image that most people see, is the professional women body builder's in magazines. Unfortunately, these women have used anabolic steroids as well as other drugs to become this woman. They also need good genetics and work ethics to become this with many hours spent at the gym lifting heavy weights. These women look like this because they choose to look like this. Other women who train with weights without the use of steroids and other drugs can definitely get the firm and fit cellulite-free looking body that you see in a lot of the fitness and figure shows. I have done both bodybuilding and figure competitions and know how hard it is to do these. I took a lot of supplements because it is hard to keep up with proper nutrition when you work, have a family, go to school and train, but you will never see me doing any steroids. Just look at some of my pictures.
    
WEIGHTLIFTING WILL INCREASE MY CHEST SIZE!

Not exactly! Breasts are made up of mostly fatty tissue. With this being said if you go below 12% body fat, they will actually decrease in size. When you train, your back will increase in size which may make it look like your chest has increased in size. The only way for your chest to increase in size would be to increase the fat or to get implants.

WHEN YOU STOP TRAINING THE MUSCLE WILL TURN TO FAT.

Does this water can turn to oil? Muscle and fat are totally different types of tissue. People start to lose muscle due to inactivity. Like the expression" use it or lose it" and when you eliminate the workout's, people usually drop the good diet as well. Bad eating habits or the same amount of eating with little or no exercise increases fat accumulation.

WEIGHT TRAINING TURNS FAT INTO MUSCLE.

Muscle and fat are totally different types of tissue. We cannot change one into another.
