I don't know why so many of you are pretending like you don't know what bulky means or that women can't bulk up. A muscular body will look thicker than skin and bones, period. I don't care if these women are a size 4 in real life. Visually they look bulky, and a lot of typical DCUM types don't consider that feminine or desirable.

I personally strength train, am strong, and [I]look[/I] strong. For me, going up a couple of dress sizes to accommodate my growing muscles (lats, arms, core, butt, and legs) was NBD, but I can see how it would be traumatizing to someone who admires a heroin chic aesthetic and bases her value on being a size 0.

First of all these women train weeks before these competitions insanely.  They also diet down “weeks” before and use diuretics days before and spray tan day of.  My bff did these competitions and looked like the girls but it is short lived. They don't look like this normally, only for competitions.  Maintaining this look would literally kill you. [/quote]

I agree those are not the best examples of bulky. I think what most women here are talking about is the look you get when you gain muscle faster than you lose fat. [b]You only look toned and tight if you're starting with minimal body fat and just getting stronger. If you're carrying extra pounds, that muscle develops under the layer of fat. Instead of looking toned, you simply look bigger overall[/b].[/quote]

But over time the fat should reduce and you'll look toned right?[/quote]
