I'm sorry -- I didn't even go to the link, but I am now a firm believer in strength training. Even to get that 'body builder' look, that some of these women get, I think you have to train a lot harder, and probably differently than most of us would, who just want to get stronger.
I can't stand the stick person look. You know what I mean -- people who's arms look like you could snap them in two, and who's legs don't even look like they could support a fly, let alone a whole person.
Long lean muscle looks great, and women just don't have the right hormones to bulk up like men do.
There are almost too many benefits to lifting, than you can count. It's just so good for you --- for everyone. Think of your future, and build that muscle now -- it's one of the best things you can do for yourself.
