3. I do not want to become bulky
A myth that is solely for the women. Women think that if they lift weight then they will become bulky like men do. However, this is nothing but a myth. Lifting heavy will not make you bulky since women do not produce testosterone as much as men do. Testosterone is the key hormone that makes a man bulky. So it is almost impossible for women to bulk as much as men do. Some people can point at female bodybuilders and say that they bulked up by lifting heavy. However, they had the help of anabolic steroids which made them bulk up. On the other hand, lifting heavy will make you stronger and burn more calories. So it’s a win-win situation for the ladies.
