IS IT IMPOSSIBLE?? ... for a woman to get bulky?

[Lililston]

I've read several articles and messages from various fitness boards stating that even when a woman lifts heavy weights, she can never get bulky, UNLESS if she takes steroids.

Is this true?

So does this mean I'm lifting and eating to get my legs bigger for nothing?

I think I'm starting to believe in this because my legs do get bigger when I gain weight BUT right when I start cutting, my legs lose all the size, except it does look harder, but NOT bigger.

Depends on 1) Genteics; 2) Patience and perserverane and 3) Your personal definition of "bulky". Most non-BB women I know would say I am "bulky", but I could never compete as anything other than an amatuer, and the women that think I'm bulky look like skinny-fat beanpoles to me. Then again I have been doing weight training of some sort for close to 20 years (if you count stuff like rock climbing).

I concur.
