Female Bodybuilding And All Its Secrets
“It is a subculture that involves bulging biceps, protruding veins and never-ending workouts. And for many of the women who take up the sport, bodybuilding can involve being stared at, whispered about, and insulted to their faces.
In the world of female bodybuilding, not only do women spend grueling hours in the gym pumping iron, pushing genetics to the limit, but many pay an even higher price for their 60 seconds on stage – the toll on their bodies can be irreversible, and the subculture can be all-consuming, obsessive and dangerous.”

You Don’t Have to Get Bulky
“Many women are misguided on how to best workout for a lean and feminine physique. This results in the fear of using weights altogether, to avoid becoming “bulky,” which is not healthy! We need strong muscles to support our bodies, and of course increase our fat burning potential. So how can we increase muscle strength, without increasing muscle size?
Erase what you have previously thought about resistance training, and embrace a new way of thinking, and of course, exercising. Here is a secret for one of the BEST ways to train and achieve the lean bikini body you want!
Take a deep breath, and walk towards the weights area. Since the main goal is to get lean and strong, you have to use resistance training, aka lift some weights in some fashion. But, never fear! You are going to lift the right way, and with the proper technique to help you gain lean muscles and boost your confidence.”
