Plain and simple.  No need to say anything more.  Get it?

THE FACTS

Lifting heavy weights makes you big and bulky — or at least that’s the conventional wisdom. It’s the reason many women (and some men) who want slim and “toned” physiques opt for lighter weights, lifted more times.

But the notion is not supported by science. Producing bulky muscles requires not just heavy weights but heavy calorie consumption as well, typically far above the 2,000 daily calories recommended for many adults.

Don’t fret if you gain weight at first from strength training. Your new muscles weigh more than your old fat. Muscle will burn more calories in the long run.

It may be a bit hard to believe that exercises just using your body weight can be the fastest way to build muscle. If you've spent any time at all in the gym, you may be of the belief that you must lift extremely heavy weights to make a difference in your muscle mass. Sometimes, lifting heavier is not always the best option to the fastest way to build muscle.
