    If there was a single exercise myth I wished I could wipe off the earth it’s the “women shouldn’t lift heavy weights because then they’ll get all muscly, so they should use low weight to ‘tone’ muscles”

    MF do you think it’s EASY to ACCIDENTALLY get ripped at the gym? If men struggle to gain muscle mass without a ton of drugs do you think a woman will just “accidentally” get ripped AF doing some bicep curls with a 15 instead of a 5??

    I see so many women who have certain strength or body shape goals but actively avoid the exercises in the gym that will get them there faster because of this nonsense.
