A common question I have gotten asked is can girls get bulky from weight training?

The answer is it’s very hard to but it is still possible.

How is it possible?

Let’s take a look below how girls can get bulky and how to avoid yourself from looking like a female Arnold.

How Girls Get Bulky

It's a myth that girls get bulky from weight training

Now, for girls to get bulky you would have to be eating in a huge caloric surplus. Meaning you would have to be overeating quite a bit!

Because females do not have high levels of testosterone as males do, it makes it extremely challenging for women to get bulky without eating a boatload of calories.

This is why, when girls weight train and eat at calorie maintenance or a deficit it’s impossible for a female to look huge per se.

Matter of fact, you would actually look nice and lean.

Having said that, for girls to get super jacked, steroids would also play a huge role!

For this reason, if you’re not taking steroids or eating a boatload you got nothing to worry about!

How to Avoid Getting Bulky

As mentioned above girls get bulky by extreme overeating. This is why eating in a calorie deficit and weight training is crucial for girls to look lean and lose weight properly.

By weight training, you will put on lean muscle and blast away body fat the right way.

Furthermore, you make it harder for yourself to put that weight back on because of your training hard and not overeating.

The eating in a calorie deficit part is vital because by simply consuming fewer calories then you got coming in, you’re guaranteeing fat loss!

For this reason, it’s important to eat satiety rich foods like high protein foods, and high fiber foods.

By consuming these foods it becomes nearly impossible to overeat because you’re full from low calorie, but filling foods
