[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In response to PP, I have heard that women can bulk up if they use heavy weights.  This is OP and it's been 2 weeks now and I feel awesome - stronger, leaner, healthier.  I am going to keep it up!  I'm not bulking up as far as I know but I will say that I don't step on the scale because I'm not making progress there - but as they say, muscle weighs more than fat and looks way better so I am OK with it.

Thanks all for the advice.  [/quote]

it is nearly impossible for women to bulk up even when lifting heavy weights. Women do not have the hormones needed to get bulky, we just don't. It takes an insane amount of work for women to build significant muscle. Women are not men. The only way to put on muscle/get stronger is to challenge muscle and the way you do that is by lifing challenging weights. So heavy weights less reps, 10-12 reps for beginners and the last couple of reps should be challenging. If you do 12 reps and feel like you could keep going then the weight is not heavy enough.
