Can Bodybuilding/weightlifting be bad for your health?

Hi everyone.
I spend a lot of time in the gym and weightlifting has become a big part of my life. It relieves my stress and brings out my confidence. I’ve been doing it for a little while, but now I’m hearing that it can be bad for your heart and cause you to live a shorter life and such. Is there any truth to this? I’m only 21 years old. I’m not a big huge Female Bodybuilder….but I do hit the weights hard and am very, very toned. I was happy with how I was until I started hearing this can be bad for me. Does anyone know anything about this?

P.S.- I do everything natural and the only supplements I take are fish oils and my daily multi-vitamins.

It’s not really that simple to answer.

If you are eating a healthy diet, a good multi-vitamin, getting in some cardio, going heavy but not overdoing it then you are most likely fine. The exception is if you haven’t consulted a doctor. You may have some underlying condition that could be aggravated by training. So everyone should just get checked out to make sure it’s all good. You’ll be that much healthier than the people with the horror stories. It’s a good idea to get a regular check up anyway.

Coincidentally, women can and should train exactly like men. The heavy weights will NOT make you bulk up. With the exception of a few women, you lack the testosterone to build big muscles. So go as heavy as you want and is safe.

That being said, if you use too many supplements, use steroids, overtrain, train when you’re sick, don’t take rests… then it’s a whole different story. I have seen guys walk in with the flu and have heart attacks.
I also always recommend to every single person to take a full week off every 8 weeks. What this does is give your body a good chance to repair and to work on any potential injuries. You will come back more rested and actually be stronger for it. I know it’s hard to take a break but after a few months you get into the cycle and find that you’re progressing.
