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.

I'm afraid you will just have to leave it on the floor - some strong man will come by and throw it out eventually, especially once he sees the smut that is written in it.

 lmao!!!!  - that smut!  How dare they????

I was afraid of that. Ok, so if I don't pick it up again and stop eating protein (I was thinking a diet that is 80% carbs, 10% protein, 10% fat), how long will it take until I look like Paris Hilton?

And I second that on the smut. Especially the pictures - it is really obscene how you can see muscles on the model, just sticking out all over the place.

OK so last week a friend told me I look too bulky, and I couldn't figure out why since I'm only lifting 3 lbs at a time and my husband carries all the groceries, and I'm only eating asparagus like cdc said.  Then I figured it out: my weights are BLUE and not PINK!  I'll have to go shopping tonight so the manly blue stops making me so huge.  Jeez, I can't believe the store even sold the blue ones to a girl!  Maybe I can sue for negligence?

I don't know... I'd say 0% fat, cause fat makes you fat. And we all know that you shouldn't eat carbs after 9am... this is tough.

OMG, I can't believe I forgot about the no carbs after 9 am rule!!!

awestendorf - to be safe, just make sure they are actually pink. Purple dumbbells are way too close to blue ones.

 yeah, that is misleading! blue should only come in heavier weights.

I only use a 3 OUNCE weight. I could see bulk after one set of the 1-lb. (can't lift the 2 or 3lb and don't want to)

bulking dangers are everywhere though - I went shopping and had to squat down to get something out of the back of the shelf, and when I left I saw my ass in the glass and it was HUGE. Why can't they just put everything in the middle shelf???

Or on the top shelf so we can stretch up and make long lean muscle.

Oh - you are supposed to set DOWN your chihuahua before squatting, silly.  How else do you think Paris does it???

Thank you all for this thread.  I haven't laughed so hard in a while.   Wait, will laughing too hard make my abs bulky, caues that's just not cool

Is that measured from the outside of your thighs (outer left to outer right) or between your thighs? Either way, probably.

 I think either way - you are ok, but you better keep an eye that it gets NO bigger - that would be reason for removal from the skinny-bitch, no ugly muscle, only long, lean muscle club.  We'll be watching you!

What matters isn't how many inches apart, because different people have different body types. This test is way more accurate: Can you fit into a size 00 Hollister skinny jean? If not, you're too fat. Or maybe too bulky. I can't remember.

here is a pic... how much more do I need to lose?

Your body looks totally hot, but I think your head could use some toning. Try chewing on a piece of rubber (even sugar free gum has extra calories!) - make sure the rubber is really soft so you can do lots of reps.

I've heard about that technique, but you don't want to use rubber, as it's too much of a processed food.  The best thing is to get the sap itself (just Google it).   Apparently, if you alternate the speed and strength of the chews, you can use it for HIIT, although I think the correct term would be Sap High Intensity Interval Training.
