Lifting weights leads to more muscle mass, which in turn increases your Basal Metabolic Rate and leads to greater fat loss, yada yada yada, you'd probably know this already.    Now, the thing that gets me is how some women posit that lifting will turn them into, like you've mentioned, she-hulks, all the while remaining ignorant to the fact that it takes an ungodly amount of drugs, effort, and time to look something like Nicole Bass or even Iris Kyle. It's as stupid as the broscience idiots who blindly and religiously follow these Youtube fake natty personalities (Simeon Panda and Mike O'Hearn, for example), and think that they can achieve the same physiques on protein shakes and food alone.
