If your body thought muscle was a bad thing, it wouldn’t build it so easily.īut you know what does think a woman with muscle is a bad thing? Our culture. Your bodies are saying, We want to be strong, we want to be muscular, we want to be ripped! If your body puts on muscle this easily, it’s because your body wants to be muscular. Listen, ladies who bulk up – your bodies are telling you something. Their worst fear is one of my most fervent desires. To me, it’s like hearing someone say they hate running because they are just so fast, or they don’t like to write because they might accidentally win a Pulitzer Prize. When I hear women bemoan the way their bodies pack on muscle, I can’t help but feel a bit envious. But my friend spends tons of money on personal training to get half the results I have from riding and working around the barn.
Toss in the farmers tan and I’m quite the freak. I have really veiny hands and forearms and manlike muscles. I like like feeling them buldging against the fabric, but to avoid being judged, I keep them well hidden when in public.Įvery time I look in the mirror at myself I am shocked by my arms. I just hide them because so many people think that’s gross on a woman, but I like how they look and feel. I have to wear men’s shirts because when I wear women’s shirts, my biceps swell and buldge against the sleeves. Tracey Reifkind, conquering her former obesity through exercise, from her blog I really want a visible bicep vein back! Some women don’t like having visible veins in their arms, but I do! I want to walk around with it showing all the time, lol! Then, when I probed into this comment, she admitted that her arms were too “muscle-y”, and that was the real issue.Ĭassandra Forsythe, Female Fitness and Nutrition Scientist, from her blog She told me she was upset that she put on weight since starting weightlifting in boot camp, but her clothes all still fit the same. And, in her opinion, that looks undesirable.
She said that when she looks down at her arm when it’s hanging by her side, that she can see a “bump” above the bend in her elbow (meaning she can see her bicep even when her arm is straight). She said that since February when she started taking classes from me, that her arms have gotten bigger and other women have commented on it. Just today, I received an email from one of my boot campers stating that she was concerned about her increased arm size.
