Is Bodybuilding Wrong For Young Women? (Part 2) :
Women don't look as feminine when they
are muscled. This being a matter of perception, it's difficult to
contradict. It's each to their own I'm afraid, but I think that people
are getting it wrong. They're watching female bodybuilding competitions
and thinking, 'oo they look strange with all those muscles and fake
tan'. Well the thing is, that's not how they normally look. That's for
the show, the competition. On the whole women are a certain shape. Big
hips, narrow waist. No amount of natural bodybuilding is going to
destroy that. There's no rule that says women have to be fat to be
attractive and gaining muscle reduces fat. In fact, swapping your fat
for muscle will increase the average person's attractiveness levels,
male or female. The difference is, for ladies, exchanging useless and
unhealthy fat for muscle, replaces curves for curves, but the muscley
curves are much more firm.
Ok,
the reality is...Women don't bulk up like men. In fact, most men don't
even bulk up like that. If you're thinking of an over-steroided tank
here, that's not what's gonna happen. With a great deal less
testosterone in their systems, women will hardly bulk up at all. Cutting
(dropping fat and adding muscle) will more than likely reduce your
size, making you more hard bodied, healthier and more attractive. It's
true that muscle is heavy, but putting on a couple of pounds of muscle
is a good thing in anyone's book.
