If you’re a woman who wants to build muscle, finding the right workout program can be tricky. Most workout programs aren’t designed for you. Only around 3% of people are trying to gain weight, and most of them aren’t women.

Even if you search “female muscle gain,” you’re in such a small minority, and your goals are so diametrically opposed to the average woman’s that most of the workouts you find will be written for someone else.

For example, the most common exercise routines are yoga, aerobics, and other types of cardio, all of which are great for improving your health and fitness. However, they all tend to lead to weight loss. You can offset the weight loss by eating more food, but the workouts still won’t help you build muscle. At least not very much of it.

For another example, consider something like “toning,” which implies losing fat to reveal the muscle underneath. If you don’t have enough muscle underneath, those workouts won’t work. You need a bonafide muscle-building program.

If you’re trying to build muscle, gain weight, and get bigger, you might have trouble finding good workouts. That’s why we wrote this article.
