Whether you work out in a big box gym or a ballet barre boutique, you've more than likely heard at least ONE woman say, "I actually can't grab that heavier set of weights, I just bulk up so easily." We think this fear can be a little unfounded, and apparently so does the YouTube channel Buff Dudes [1], which made this hilarious video about "Bulky Female Phobia."

"You shouldn't lift weights, you'll get bulky" [2]

As hilarious as this video is, it's scary close to what some women think will happen to their bodies if they start weightlifting. Will you magically transform into a dude the second you touch a dumbbell over two pounds? No! Weightlifting can help you slim down [3], and it boosts your metabolism, too.
