Less than 20% get big
Most people do not have to be worried about getting too big when training with weights. Evidence suggests that less than 20 percent of men and very few women can develop large muscles even if they wanted to, regardless what program they follow.
I found this statement and I would like to know if anyone knows of any evidence (papers) to back this up.

One quite plump young woman in my gym said she didn't want to do weights as she didn't want to get big.
I had to hold my tongue as to not say "Hun, you are big already"

where did you "find" the statement? I would start there as far as looking for a reference.

Not in the trouser department, however, I have heard some lads say they only want to look athletic and 'tone' up. Originally Posted by assassin

This is the reference I was given
Peterson, P.A., Bryant, C.X. (1995) The StairMaster Fitness Handbook.
Does anyone have this book to see if there are papers listed in it?

Me. I don't want to become anything near as big as the pro bodybuilders. I'd rather be as big as or a bit bigger than most models or actors. Originally Posted by assassin

Shocking innit?

I agree. If the original statement actually has truth to it, then there are 'the genetically gifted' that are able to put on more muscle than the majority of the populace. Originally Posted by KelJu

100% true, many guys can build a nice body but 99.9% will never build a cold 18 arm or cold 48 relaxed chest....unless they are 6'2'' or taller or have a fat 38+ gut. To be huge takes hard work and tons of drugs. Originally Posted by assassin

I'm the say way. About 180 lbs shredded up is as big as I want to be. I consider anything over 200 to be too big. Ugly imo. Originally Posted by Witchblade

It would be an insult to the mods of this forum if someone with as little practical knowledge as I was made a mod.
And it was a joke, I don't even have a girlfriend....
