The gym as a whole is preparing for Local's Gym/Lynnwood CrossFit's CF Total come November 7th. A couple of concerns have been addressed...
Let me say that again:
Weights do not bulk up female athletes.
and again:
WEIGHTS DO NOT BULK UP FEMALE ATHLETES.
and one more time for good measure
WEIGHTS DO NOT BULK UP FEMALE ATHLETES!
Why not?
- Inadequate testosterone levels
- High volume work = bulking muscle. Not heavy weights.
- Bulking up requires a lot of calories. We do not promote eating like a madman. Or a body builder.
READ MORE REASONS HERE AND EDUCATE YOURSELF! (because you're not listening to me)
----
SCHEDULE CHANGE!
No Friday evening class. Saturday workout @ 11am. "Open Gym" after until 2pm. Expect to help us fix up the gym (lay down mats, paint, wash the tractor tires then flip them).
ps
Thanks Craig! and congrats!

True, weights don't bulk up female athletes (or females in general). But the same could be said for anyone -- male or female. What bulks you up is eating. If you have a reasonably lean body composition, all the weights in the world won't do squat unless you gain weight by eating.
However, let it be said: ladies who strength train are often quite attractive. There is more to strength training than "bulking up"!
