“Lifting makes me bulky”

What a lot of people don't understand is muscle takes time to build. And its probably longer than you think.

We’re talking months (and years) of consistent strength training, progressive overload, proper recovery and hitting your protein targets, just to put a few kilos of muscle.

You’re not going to get huge after a few weeks of lifting.
If you're feeling “puffy” early on, there could be many things, like:
- Increase water retention
- Increase inflammation from new workouts
- Eating more than you realized (not tracking your nutrition)

Muscle is what gives you that toned, sculpted look most people want. And when you're in a calorie deficit, you reveal that muscle by shedding fat (if fat loss is your goal).

So keep lifting 💪
