How much muscle is too much on a women?

What do you guys think, how much is just too much? I think for example Kelly Rippa has nice toned arms etc, or Lauryn Hill, looks pretty toned and good for their size.

Thoughts

Its fine as long as they still have a womanly physeque.

The massive female bodybuilders end up just looking like guys :sick:

Ha, my fiancee and I have had this discussion a few times. She's one of those people, the ones who actually enjoy working out. She wants to have everything be really defined and muscular, but I don't think that a girl having a lot of visible muscle is attractive at all. I'm fine with toned and trim, just not much more than that.

I must admit, i find a girl who enjoys working out, going to the gym and taking care of herself like that pretty attractive!

Just be glad women can't easily gain muscle, not as easily as guys, so unless she goes crazy with it (and starts taking hormones . . .), she'll not end up like this:

Okay, I'll say more.

You coulda bounced a Volkswagen off hers.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm glad that she takes care of herself and everything. The issue is that her idea of how much muscle is attractive on a woman and my idea of how much muscle is attractive on a woman is not the same.

A toned girl is great but she doesn't need a lot of muscle definition. I want my girl soft but not squishy. Too much msucle would make me feel like I'm rubbing a guy. Those crazy muscle chicks like the one posted is definitely TOO MUCH!

Yes that last example is several orders of magnitude too much.

Is it possible for a Woman to really get like this without rhoids/hormones...etc... and my next question is.....

Why would a woman want to have a body like this? No disrespect to the lady in the pic, but it seems a bit much, or maybe I am just to old fashion.

It might be, but she'd probably have a much higher testosterone level than other women. My money would be on the juice. Either way, would need alot of work!

Probably same reason guys want to have a body like that i guess, maybe she was a bit of a tom boy growing up . Not my thing, but i do respect them going against the grain and doing something they want to, aswell as the amount of effort required.

Definitely not possible without chemical assistance.


It really depends on where the muscle is that you're talking about. A girl who does a lot of squats, for instance, is going to have a GREAT set of glutes and hams but a girl who does too much military press and gets jacked up shoulders is a definite no-no.

EDIT2 -- Sexier:

I believe we share a similar taste there!

Danica

Danica seems to look pretty good and toned, I guess you gotta be kind of in shape and strong to handle those fast cars.
