I did a squat and my thighs got so BULKY

Why are some women so delusional? Seriously?

Do they think the initial water rentention is muscle mass?

It seems like lately I've seen a ton of threads about how fast women think their thighs get "bulky"...  I just don't get it.

Hmmm MAYBE if you just do like 4 sets of 50 instead of 100 you won't bulk up ...

Less reps? Are you mad???

Possibly! But, with THREE WHOLE POUNDS.... you have to do SOMETHING to make sure you don't bulk up! Hmmm.. maybe keep the reps but make sure to not carry anything else over like 2 pounds for the rest of the day...

And like don't forget to not eat any protein!!!!

you guys are killing me!  If I wake up tomorrow and look like Arnold I am going to be pissed!!!!!!

I wish that I didn't know that this is an actual suggestion that people have provided - eat less protein.

Although it still doesn't top my favorite line of all CC history: "Technically, fat and muscle are the same."

 Are you saying I can't turn my fat into muscle?

No, of course not - you can do whatever you want to do. Skin, bone, organs, muscle, fat... all pretty interchangable.

Oh shush, don't listen to them... you can... YES YOU CAN!!!!

Just keep doing those tricep kickbacks with 2 pounds for half an hour...the fat will firm up and turn into muscle! But, not like gross bulky muscles. Nice, small, soft, un-defined muscle... the pretty kind.

What about the pilates flutters?

 Those are just to give nice lean loooooooonnnnnnnnngggg muscle.  I do these 3X per day.

OH no!  I just ate a handful of Almonds!  What was I thinking?????  Do you think I will gain 5 pounds?  I did skip breakfast and lunch though, so maybe I will be ok.   Or do you think I have to add 3 more hours of walking to make up for it?

Yes, you will gain 5lbs.  So like don't eat for the rest of the day, that should do the trick.

 Well, since muscle and fat are technically the same thing, you can't turn one into the other since they're already technically the same thing.

 I increased my dumbbells to 3 pounds.  I hope that doesn't make me bulky!

You are screwed.

Enough with this misinformation! You won't get bulky lifting 3 pounds!  It's anything OVER 3 pounds that makes you bulky! Tracy Anderson even says so and she would know, she spent 3 weeks in professional dance school. 

LMAO

 Holy moly - Thank goodness!!!  I was so worried I would wake up looking all hulky and then my husband would leave me and then no one would want me and then i would end up homeless and then I would get run over by a car and then I would have to go to the hospital where they would not allow me to work out!

But at least then your muscles would atrophy, and maybe your husband would take you back.

I'm glad I'm getting married in Massachusetts - if all this lifting makes me look like a man, we'll still be allowed to get married.

LOL

At least those new gay marriage laws are good for SOMETHIN
