«If a woman lifts heavy she will get 'too muscular'»

False

What the evidence says

Women have far less testosterone, so they gain muscle more slowly and without the extreme size people fear. Training with heavy loads builds strength, shape and bone health. A 'very muscular' look takes years of specific work (and sometimes drugs).

How settled this is

The female hormonal profile naturally limits extreme hypertrophy.
