I lift in the much lighter range, and mostly enjoy xfit because of the variety. I am SUPER careful of injuries because I've had many (doing other things). So far, I've gotten muscle definition and lost some weight, but no bulk . Looking at the serious xfit women in the class, there is a huge variety--there are larger, strong women who are a bit bulky, but that is their body type. There are women who are super petite and slender, and yet incredibly strong, and that is their body type.

absolutely!

if you normally bulk up easily lifting weights then yes, you will get bulky doing CF, but overall most women have to try insanely hard to put on muscle and bulk up.

I am of the 'bulky' variety. My roommate's father in college nicknamed me 'Muscles'. 15 years of competitive soccer make my thighs no match for any skinny jeans. I also get 'serious' guns. Ironically, this is why DH married me. Luckily, we have all boys. I could not imagine a daughter with both of our 'bulky', broad, muscle gaining abilities.
