The idea that Crossfit makes women ‘bulky’ makes assumptions about how a woman should be, which is also wrong in itself. If a woman wants to be ‘bulky’, and she works hard enough, then she will. Besides, if this is her end goal and prime focus, then she will probably be bodybuilding in the gym, rather that working hard in the BOX.
