Bodybuilding Females

So you want to join the ranks of bodybuilding females? But you still wrestling with the question of Size zero or well toned body ... hmm! Tough call. Size zero is about keeping your bones together in a skin bag and a well toned body is about getting that "Baywatch babe" you have been hiding, out in the open. No brainer decision really!

Bodybuilding females are the picture of health, satisfied and have good body symmetry. Over the last few years there has been a huge increase in the number of women bodybuilders. There is far better understanding amongst women of what can be achieved by bodybuilding than ever before.

It was believed that women could not build muscle due to the high levels of estrogen and lack of testosterone in the female body. Whilst it is true that men can build muscles easier than women, women most definitely can build muscle without too much effort or the use of testosterone shots. In fact the process of building muscle in women is the same as men.

Besides the obvious benefit of turning a few heads with that "Baywatch Babe" body, there are more great benefits for bodybuilding females. By increasing the bodies muscle mass you can greatly improve you strength, minimize the effects of aging by decreasing muscular atrophy (especially if you are 40 or over). And here is a real biggy...because you have built some really great and shapely muscle your body's metabolic rate just went through the roof. So you can have that delicious cheese cake whilst your size zero friends have some or other green thing.

Now we need to just clear up two myths.

Myth 1 is that when you stop building muscle that it will instantly turn to fat. Well this is not true as it is impossible for muscle to turn to fat. What happens when you stop exercising is that your body tries to get to its optimum state i.e. lean and mean, so is simply uses that well built muscle as an energy source. If you carry on eating the same amount you did whilst exercising then the obvious will happen. You will get fat...so that's how muscle becomes fat.

Myth 2 is that the process men use to build muscle is different from women. The process is the same. Its all about stressing the bodies muscle by lifting the heaviest weights possible until you can not anymore. This failure to pick up the next weight should occur between 5 and 7 repetitions. Then all you need to do is progress further each weak by increasing the weights. And hey presto Baywatch Babe will come out to play. So join the ranks of the bodybuilding females today!
