As we all know, girls' muscles are generally not as high as boys'. In addition, in the Oriental aesthetic concept, girls do not want to have too much muscle, as that will make them look very strong and not look like a feminine person at all. But whether boys or girls, muscles need to be maintained at a normal level. If girls have too little muscle, they may appear too fat or weak. So, what is the normal muscle content for girls?

What is the normal amount of muscle mass for girls?

A female's muscle content of 52.6% and fat content of 12.3% are already very low body fat percentages. Women in competitive bodybuilding condition are probably around 10% to 12%. Any lower and it may cause amenorrhea. Women's hormone levels are 50 times higher than men's, so they cannot develop the same physique as men. A body fat percentage of around 3% is the best competitive condition for men in bodybuilding competitions.

The human body has 206 bones and about 639 muscles in the body. It is composed of about 6 billion muscle fibers, the longest of which is 60 cm long and the shortest is only about 1 mm. Large muscles weigh 2000 grams, while small muscles weigh only a few grams. The average person's muscles make up 35-45 percent of their body weight. The total length of capillaries in muscles can reach 100,000 kilometers, which is enough to circle the earth two and a half times.

Cute girl, although your muscle content is high, your body fat percentage is also high. The normal body fat range is between 21% and 24%, so the advantage of a high muscle content is that your basal metabolism will be slightly higher. However, there is not much difference between the exercise plan and the diet plan, it is still diet control + exercise.

A high muscle content is actually a good thing, as it makes it easier to create tones. There are many girls who have high body fat and low muscle content. After losing weight, they still need to gain muscle and shape their body. The girl already has a relatively good foundation, and when her body fat percentage goes down, her figure will be more shapely.

As for whether getting fatter will make you stronger, that is unlikely; but getting heavier is very likely to make you stronger.
