The thing is that "chunky" or "bulky" is a term the women apply rather selectively. Consider for example this woman, she lost fat and gained muscle, and the water pushed out of the bath by her body when she jumps in will be smaller. But some women would say she's "bulky" now. Or consider this woman whose weight barely changed, but appearance changed greatly - again, losing fat and gaining muscle.Many women think that chunkier looking chicks are not feminine & aim to look more like the glossy magazine girls.
It is more difficult for women, just as it is for men over 35. However, that just means you need more patience. A 17 year old man might need 6 months of weight training to gain 10kg of muscle, a 40 year old woman might need 2 years. But if - as is typical - the 17 year old man trains for 6 months then stops, then 2 years from now he'll only have 5kg muscle more than he started, while the 40 year old woman who kept at it will be 10kg up still.Chussen said:It's more difficult for us to grow muscle than it is for men (so I was told, although beginning to doubt since being here)
This is a problem women have, they don't support each-other in their efforts.Chussen said:Also, other females are less than complimentary in general, whether you are at the gym or just in public. I have been told to my face by women & several times, it's "ugly" - mind you this has mostly been by fat or non-active people. However, the guys seem to love muscles & are not shy in saying so - to each other & to the women.

You're right, lifting heavy is not what a girl does. It's what a woman does. Don't be afraid to show people you're a woman, not a girl.He asked me to demonstrate some of the exercises that I do with it but I bailed - it just didn't seem like a girl thing to do
I like to show of my muscles. I am proud of my strength and will find an excuse to flex or lift something heavy anytime!
One day women will get that the only way to lose those chicken wings is to work those arms with weights. I do a Spin class once a week and it is filled with skinny girls who weigh a lot less than I do, but wobble a lot more!
Rice and oat milk can be found in most Supermarkets in the longlife milk section. I see them all the time.Fadi, seeing that you are in Sydney and so are Bree + I - where do you get your rice milk/ oat milk from? I have never really seen anything like that in shops before.
