nothing tastes better than slim |
i love food. but i love fitting into my skinny jeans even more. this blog is about trying to keep things straight in my head, which isn't easy. |
Please discuss.
It is my understanding that women don’t bulk up due to our lack of testosterone and that using heavier weights can help us lean out to.
I am interested in getting people’s opinions/knowledge.
Crossfit has me doing heavy weights with less reps. I’ve been told not to worry about bulking up - that with the number of reps we do it’s not an issue.
Lots of our lifting is 3 sets of 3 at max weight (first you do a few sets to work up to max weight), or 5 sets of 5 with increasing weights (i.e. the last set is at your max weight)
I haven’t spent time reading the science behind this, so let me know what you find!
