We throw the word bulk around a lot when it comes to women and weights.
But have you ever stopped to ask: what even is bulk?
For most women, “bulk” isn’t about actual muscle mass.
It’s about a cultural fear – one we inherited from the 90s “thin ideal” where strong = masculine, and feminine = small.
Here’s the truth:
💪 Lifting weights won’t suddenly turn you into a bodybuilder.
💪 Pilates won’t make you look like a ballerina.
💪 Both can play a role, but they do very different things for your body.
