Not trying to counter your point, but female athletes that don’t dope don’t ever become super muscular. Like, look at Khelif. She has just proven she is the best in the world in a combat sport, and she still doesn’t look muscular to the point of looking male. The transphobes mainly came at her because her face isn’t super feminine, which doesn’t really have anything to do with boxing.
I occasionally hear women saying they don’t want to do workouts that target their upper body, and I’m always baffled because it’s not like they’ll ever even slightly look like a dude lol.
Yeah. Furthermore, if you want to show off, you definitely can do certain exercises to strengthen muscles and get a more 'toned' look, but one of the strongest women in the world looks like this ordinary gal:
And, hell, look at this guy, one of the strongest men in the world
He doesn't look like a musclebound bodybuilder, he looks like a big trucker dude who frequents your local bar.
Real, practical muscles rarely look like what it's thought of. You definitely see some development, but not nearly as much as people think.
Isn't that just Rachel Dratch?
Jesus Christ, his legs are as thick as tree trunks though
