I know, right? That woven fabric wristband is going to smell like grated parmesan after a few jogs.

And even if you do build the muscle, women have higher levels of subcutaneous fat, which means you’re going to be “stealth-jacked”, unless you go through the ‘cut’ and ‘diuretics abuse’ phase most professional models stick to. I’ve been weightlifting on and off for ten years, and I build muscle fairly quickly for a…
