Guys...your
wife is watching your biceps getting bigger! Is she jealous? Does she
want to start “bodybuilding” but is afraid of getting TOO big? She’s
secretly want’s that finely chiseled body, too!
Here’s
how she can build muscle for a lean, sexy physique without the fear of
embarrassing you with bigger arms as you walk down the beach...
There
are a lot of myths around women and bodybuilding and they just don’t
seem to die. I’d like to share with you an article that sheds light on
women and weight training that will pave the path for your wife or
girlfriend to adopt the bodybuilding lifestyle with you.
That’s right. We’re going to bust the women and weight training myths right NOW!
Who better to do that than a woman who weight trains and understands your wife’s fears regarding women and weights?
Women and Weight Training Myth #1
BUSTED
- Like most people, when you think of women and weight training you
automatically relate that image to the professional female bodybuilder
strutting her oiled-up mammoth physique across stage and striking a
pose.
What’s NOT mentioned is
that 99.9% of the professional female bodybuilders supplement with
steroids to develop superhuman muscles.
By
the law of nature, women do not produce near the amount of muscle
building hormone, testosterone, necessary to build huge swollen,
vein-popping muscles. A woman is just not capable of building that type
of massive muscle simply by lifting weights.
Bottom line: Weight training will NOT make a woman big and overly muscular.
Women and Weight Training Myth #2
BUSTED – (pardon the pun) Breast tissue is made up of primarily fat tissue. A loss of body fat will results in smaller breast size.
Weight
training develops muscle tissue. Adding strength training will develop
the underlying chest muscle on a woman and can add more shape to her
upper body, creating those eye-pleasing and sexy curves. In addition, a
good chest training program will add stunning high cleavage for that
perfect fit in a dress or bikini.
To put it bluntly, the only way for a woman to lose her breast size is if she loses a lot of body fat.
Women and Weight Training Myth #3
BUSTED
– There is an astronomical amount of women who won’t weight train for
fear their muscle will somehow magically turn into fat if they stop
weight training.
Again, muscle
and fat are two completely different tissues responsible for their own
functions. Muscle is metabolically active (calorie burning) and fat is
metabolically inactive (fat storing).
Muscle
CANNOT Ever, In Any Case, turn into fat any more than fat can turn into
muscle. One can only build or lose muscle OR gain or lose fat. The two
separate tissues are not interchangeable.
Women and Weight Training Myth #4
BUSTED
– It’s no wonder women believe this ridicules statement. Dr. Phil has
been known to say it in his highly publicized weight-loss book.
It’s
a fact that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, a
pound. What most women don’t realize is that a pound of muscle is
denser and takes up less space than a pound of fat.
Therefore,
having more developed muscle on the female frame with less body fat
will make her leaner, tighter, and give off that “toned” look they are
after.
Bottom line: Adding natural muscle mass through weight training accentuates a lady’s femininity.
