Girl I’ve been lifting weights with the goal of getting buff and muscular for like 3 years and i don’t even look like I workout unless I’m flexing. Just do whatever workouts you want and don’t worry about that.

Oh yeah ditch that worry OP. The amount of food a person has to eat to get “buff” takes a tremendous amount of focus that won’t happen by accident.

It’ll take a LOT of effort to look really buff, work out intensively and normally and see when you’re happy with your strength

you’re not just going to get ripped by accident, trust. your body is actually going to resist that 😂

“So I’m a girl getting into a swimming and I was wondering how do I avoid becoming an Olympic swimmer?” Trust me you’re not gonna get buff if you’re asking this, for women starting out any “bulk” you get from the gym is just excess body fat over muscle

Most women who are super buff aren’t natural. But even those who are buff and natty- it takes YEARS and I mean YEARS to get there and it’s never by accident. If you are lifting, i recommend do it for health and not for chasing a certain aesthetic. Our bodies have their own form that they grow into once they get healthy and you can only control it to an extent. I recommend jsut eat healthy and lift in a progressive overload so you can get stronger and in the long term prevent osteoporosis

You can’t get buff by accident. As a woman just getting stronger is a challenge for us compared to men. I’d love to share with you what my gym split looks like if you’d like to go more in depth in dms! Also physical appearance is 80% diet and only 20% exercise. Eating clean with a a focus on protein will be the most important part of your journey

i think youre talking about getting toned and adding muscle without it pushing your fat to the spotlight but thats more into body recomp if you want to maintain your figure. if you mean you dont want to get ripped and shredded then trust me it wont happen unless if u consistently workout and grind for a good 5-10+ years

Work out your inner core instead of obliques, and avoid overworking your delts and quads. Those are the most noticeable muscles on muscular women. Working out your back muscles, inner thigh, and back thigh make you look toned but not boxy or masculine.

MAAM, as a woman with XX chromosomes, you don’t have the testosterone needed to buff up. Workout and enjoy it 😅
