How can you increase your muscle mass and definition as a woman

Image
I have maintained for years that women do not gain “muscle mass” as men do. Unless they cheat…By doing steroids. There may be a small percentage of women who have the genetic makeup to become muscular….A large frame, and a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber. But most will not. “Natural” female bodybuilders tend to end up looking like this: Nicely shaped, well-defined, but not particularly “large”. The occasional female bodybuilder you see who looks more like “Ahnold” with a woman’s head has been nipping at the steroids. The other answer recommends “lifting heavy”….That is not the method employed by male bodybuilders. “Lifting heavy” is for strength training. Heavy weights, low repetitions.

Gaining muscle requires a calorie surplus, losing fat a deficit. Henceforth the two must be mutually exclusive. This is more or less true, expect for two circumstances: 1. You are a beginner or are gaining weight back from an injury/illness. 2. You are using a lot of drugs. By-the-way, this also means that if you are not losing weight while dieting it is not because you secretly built muscle but rather because you are still eating too much. Just saying…. Great Maik! Thanks for nothing.  Where is the unsubscribe button for this stupid email? Not so fast,  as this raises some interesting questions: How do you build muscle without gaining too much fat and by the same token, how do you keep the muscle while dieting? The answer to both is CULKING, a mix of bulkin...
