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.

And don't forget to have a couple of lemon-maple-cayenne high colonics each day to detoxify.  It will totally clean all the fat out of your body in a week!  But only if you eat no bananas except for Wednesdays when you eat ONLY bananas.  If you mess that up it won't work at all and your metabolism will implode and make you retain fat longer.

Wednesdays?! Damn! I thought it was Thursdays, after 2 hours of walking in a fat burn zone. I'm screwed!

Oh, and if you gals do build icky bulky muscle by lifting those cans (not everyone has a boyfriend around 24/7 to carry this stuff), Pilates will save you. It'll stretch short and bulky fibres, and you'll end up with long and lean muscles.

I also heard once that squats put hair on your chest.

I must admit this thread is quite funny. 

The people who ask these questions are just beginners, who are often misguided by ignorant fellow gym goers or fitness instructors who charge 20 bucks an hour.  The fitness industry is full of bs and clever marketing aimed at beginners, I'm sure we've all been duped at some point in our aims for fitness or strength.

Regardless of what level we're at now, we've all probably asked our fair amount of funny questions when we first started out.

 Update - Thank you everyone for your support.  I just wanted to let everyone know that I did NOT wake up all hulky!  YAY.....   But hubby says I look really TONED!   I guess the "Bimbo Party Bash" workout with 3 pounds works!

this would be a lot funnier if i didn't feel the frustration of the futility.

and if lifting puny weights makes them happy then fine but its just annoying that newbies are not given the correct information that could probably help them shape their bodies.

i would join in all the fun but i guess im just not feeling the friday mood.

Hey Octo - we're not trying to make fun of anyone... just a little frustrated that it doesn't happen as quickly as we would LIKE!!  It is not meant to be offensive to anyone - just a little fun to relieve some tension and some boredom!  Cheer up - It's Friday! 

As Littlesimongeorge said, we were all new once!

 no no no no, thats not what i meant. ugh guess with my mood im not communicating properly.  i know you guys don't mean anything serious by it.

i would actually like to join in the fun, just my funny bone is a bit off today.  can't think of anything witty to say, a bit slow. maybe some nice lifting tonight will cure that

 well i did land pretty hard on my backside and my elbows when i fell from the stupid unstable chin up bar last week.  oh well i usually have 3-4 stupid accidents per month, you'd think my body would just be used to it.

it would be nice to just magically turn everything into muscle, bones are overrated anyway.

Well without those pesky bones, maybe we could actually lengthen our muscles.

OMG U GUIZE I DID FIVE LUNGES AND NOW I LOOK LIKE CHARLES ATLAS WHAT DO I DO?  IF I START EATING AIR AND CIGARETTES NOW CAN I LOOK LIKE KATE MOSS BY AUGUST?  OR SHOULD I JUST GO TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AND JOIN A STRONGMAN CONTEST?  OMG OMG OMG.
