Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Does anyone have insight into the best rep range to use to avoid getting too beefy? I know the usual comment is 'women don't get bulky', but I beg to differ (in some cases). I am getting bulkier, have been doing weights for many years and with a concerted effort with BFL, I'm upping the weights quite a bit on the heavy sets and gaining lean mass. I know I need more muscle to boost my metabolism, but I don't necessarily like the look I'm achieving. My shoulders are getting beefy and so are my lats. I've had to move up a bra size because my lats are getting thicker and the bands are too tight. Shirts that used to fit me, don't anymore because my shoulders are getting too big. My husband has started to make jokes about my arms -- - he calls them 'pythons'! Anyhow, not sure how I can gain lean mass/lose fat, without also looking more and more like a body builder! Quote
