There are several misconceptions regarding female muscle growth.

Misconception #1: Weight training  makes women huge and manly.

The common image of a female who weight trains is the professional bodybuilder who is veiny and huge, looking extremely manly and unappealing to look at, who has an oiled up and gargantuan structure.

Not mentioned is that steroid supplements are used by 99.9% of female professional bodybuilders to develop their superhuman muscles. 

As the amount of testosterone necessary to build those muscles isn’t available in women, it’s the only possible explanation. Just lifting weights will not give a woman that huge physique; they’re supplementing it with steroids.

Female Strenght Training Misconception #2 – Women lose their breasts when they weight train.

You’ll mostly find fat tissue in your breasts. Breasts will decrease in size with loss of body fat.

In order for a woman’s breast to become smaller, she must lose a bunch of fat from her body.

Muscle tissue is developed by weight training. Female strength training will work on the muscles underneath a woman’s chest and can result in her having a better upper body shape and develop her curves. You’ll also get great cleavage that will make your beach look fabulous if you make sure your chest is properly developed.

Myth #3: Stopping weight training will turn a woman’s muscles into fat.

One thing that stops a lot of women from weight training is the worry that they’ll gain a lot of fat once they stop.

You’ll find that muscle and fat have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Muscle’s function is to burn calories, whereas fat’s function is to store fat cells.

There’s no alchemy involved; they cannot turn into the other under any circumstance, so don’t worry. Fat can only be gained and lost; muscle can only be built or lost. They are very different types of tissues and do not work together.

The fourth myth about female body building is your fat weights less than your muscle.    

It is no surprise that this saying is believed. Dr. Phil said it in one of his very public books on weight loss.

However, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh the same — a pound. What isn’t well known is that muscle is denser than fat, so it does not take up as much space in the body.

Less body fat and more developed muscles will give a woman’s frame the leaner, tighter, “toned” look they are wanting.

Developing more muscles by using female weight training make a woman feel more like a woman.
