The Women’s Guide to Squatting for Muscle Size
Squats are the bulking lift for women. They’re amazing for bulking up their quads and glutes, and they stimulate more overall muscle mass than any other lift, with the possible exception of the deadlift. But there are many different squat variations, each with its own distinct advantages and disadvantages.

The Best Muscle-Building Supplements for Women
There are only a few supplements that are good for helping women build muscle. They’re well-researched, affordable, healthy, and safe, too. But good luck finding them amongst the thousands of ineffective supplements lining the shelves. Especially since most of those supplements are marketed toward men trying to get jacked or women trying to get thinner.
In this article, we’ll go over the best muscle-building supplements for women eager to get bigger and stronger. We only recommend a few supplements, and most have whole-food alternatives. None are mandatory.
We haven’t covered every single muscle-building supplement here, but we’ve got over a decade of experience helping thousands of women bulk up, and we keep up with the research published every month. Feel free to ask us questions in the comments.

How To Gain Weight For Skinny Females

Bombshell Aesthetics: The Perfect Female Body Shape (Full Article)
I figure there’s no sense denying that physical attraction plays a role in our relationships, especially at first. Whether that’s right or wrong, there’s no avoiding it. The research clearly shows that whether or not people say they value physical attractiveness, they still base their actions on it. Even the people who truly believe they don’t care about physical attractiveness still care as much as everyone else—they just don’t admit it (study, study).
Most studies show both men and women place a great deal of importance on physical attractiveness. We’ve written a companion article on male attractiveness, and that’s just as true there. That isn’t to say that physical attractiveness is all that matters, but it’s one of several factors that can have an impact on your life.
Some of our research comes from a survey we conducted. We’ll cite the other research as it comes up. Some of it might surprise you. Most people guess incorrectly about quite a lot of it.
On that note, this article is long. I’ll understand if you don’t want to read the whole thing, so here’s a quick and simple trick to make yourself instantly sexier: have a drink. It will boost your attractiveness (to yourself) by 50%. This is called the reverse beer goggles effect, aka, Beauty is in the Eye of the Beer Holder. (study) Best of all, you don’t even need to have a real drink – the placebo effect is more than enough – you only have to think you’re having a real drink. (The placebo group also experienced the benefit.)
If you’re looking for a more wholesome and longer-lasting aesthetic improvement, or perhaps an improvement that other people will notice too, don’t worry – that’s what the rest of this article is all about.

How Much Muscle & Strength Can A Skinny Woman Gain?
So you’re a woman who starts lifting weights. How much muscle can you expect to gain? How long does it take for that extra muscle to become noticeable? And how big and strong can you get during your first year? What are good lifetime goals?
Or maybe you’ve been lifting for a while, and you’re wondering how strong you should be by this point.
You might also wonder if you could ever build too much muscle. Is that realistic? Would your genetics ever allow you to become too bulky? And how long would that take?
