But by and large, the vast majority of women simply cannot build muscles like you see on a man without medicinal help. That's just how it works.
Yes, women can "bulk" like men, by eating lots of protein and lots of calories, but it's still physiologically different. Too many women are afraid that lifting heavy will make them look like She-Hulk, when the opposite is true. Higher weight with less reps will give them the desired outcome. Just because they lift like a man won't make them look like a man.

Oh, I agree, but I don't like it when a woman (or guy for that matter) has some degree of musculature and it's automatically assumed that they are juicing.
Oh, while on the subject of excerise, I couldn't get to the gym last night, so I had to do back/tricep at home. First time I've done pullups since going back to the gym five/six weeks ago and, man, my body weight pullups absolutely sucked. Did less reps than before I started working out at the gym again. Kinda depressing.
