Guys...your wife is watching your biceps getting bigger! Is
she jealous? Does she want to start "bodybuilding" but is
afraid of getting TOO big? She secretly wants that finely
chiseled body, too!
Here's how she can build muscle for a lean, sexy physique
without the fear of embarrassing you with bigger arms as
you walk down the beach...
There are a lot of myths around women and bodybuilding and
they just don't seem to die. I'd like to share with you an
article that sheds light on women and weight training that
will pave the path for your wife or girlfriend to adopt the
bodybuilding lifestyle with you.
That's right. We're going to bust the women and weight
training myths right NOW!
Who better to do that than a woman who weight trains and
understands your wife's fears regarding women and weights?
Women and Weight Training Myth #1 - Weight training will
make woman huge and manly.
BUSTED - Like most people, when you think of women and
weight training you automatically relate that image to the
professional female bodybuilder strutting her oiled-up
mammoth physique across stage and striking a pose.
What's NOT mentioned is that 99.9% of the professional
female bodybuilders supplement with steroids to develop
superhuman muscles.
By the law of nature, women do not produce near the amount
of muscle building hormone, testosterone, necessary to
build huge swollen, vein-popping muscles. A woman is just
not capable of building that type of massive muscle simply
by lifting weights.
Bottom line: Weight training will NOT make a woman big and
overly muscular.
Women and Weight Training Myth #2 - Women who weight train
will lose their breast size.
BUSTED - (pardon the pun) Breast tissue is made up of
primarily fat tissue. A loss of body fat will results in
smaller breast size.
Weight training develops muscle tissue. Adding strength
training will develop the underlying chest muscle on a
woman and can add more shape to her upper body, creating
those eye-pleasing and sexy curves. In addition, a good
chest training program will add stunning high cleavage for
that perfect fit in a dress or bikini.
To put it bluntly, the only way for a woman to lose her
breast size is if she loses a lot of body fat.
Women and Weight Training Myth #3 - A woman's muscle will
turn into fat if she stops weight training.
BUSTED - There is an astronomical amount of women who won't
weight train for fear their muscle will somehow magically
turn into fat if they stop weight training.
Again, muscle and fat are two completely different tissues
responsible for their own functions. Muscle is
metabolically active (calorie burning) and fat is
metabolically inactive (fat storing).
Muscle CANNOT Ever, In Any Case, turn into fat any more
than fat can turn into muscle. One can only build or lose
muscle OR gain or lose fat. The two separate tissues are
not interchangeable.
Women and Weight Training Myth #4 - Muscle weighs more than
fat.
BUSTED - It's no wonder women believe this ridicules
statement. Dr. Phil has been known to say it in his highly
publicized weight-loss book.
It's a fact that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh
the same, a pound. What most women don't realize is that a
pound of muscle is denser and takes up less space than a
pound of fat.
Therefore, having more developed muscle on the female frame
with less body fat will make her leaner, tighter, and give
off that "toned" look they are after.
Bottom line: Adding natural muscle mass through weight
training accentuates a lady's femininity.
