I don’t want to get too big! Have you ever said this? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Have you ever heard someone (more often than not, a female) make this statement? <\/span>How many of people out there that lift weights would be considered too muscular or too big?<\/span><\/i> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here <\/span>are\u00a0the facts when it comes to lifting weights and getting big.<\/span><\/p>\n There are times when someone may\u00a0<\/span>feel as though they are getting bigger when they lift. My suggestion is to take measurements and pictures to note your progress with factual inches. \u00a0Often times, people <\/span>feel like they are getting bigger and here are the real culprits behind why this may be true:<\/span><\/p>\n As you can see,\u00a0<\/span>getting too big<\/i> is more difficult than we think. \u00a0You need to lift heavy, eat a lot, have enough testosterone and human growth hormone to assure your body will grow. Proper nutrition and targeting of muscles will assure one doesn\u2019t get too big and hopefully one doesn\u2019t feel that way either.<\/span><\/p>\n About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n Scott Keppel is the owner of Scott\u2019s Training Systems<\/a>, a world-class coaching facility in Chandler, Arizona.
