You've obviously never lifted weights in your life. Or you're naturally gifted and put on muscle as soon as you touch a barbell.

Most people are not like this. They can lift weights and benefit from a stronger body without looking any different.



Lifting weights will adjust your body shape for the better, I'm not sure how you can lift heavy weights without looking different?


You have to go quite heavy and do it very frequently to actually look bulky, or even visibly muscular, when fully dressed.

The effects of moderate weight lifting - defined loosely by me as squatting at most your body weight on a barbell - are barely visible. But you will feel much better on a day-to-day basis and all your health numbers will improve massively.
