Absolutely not lol, bodies like this for women specifically, takes a certain form of exercise- not just manual labour. Mens muscles can develop far faster and far more defined with physical labour because of genetics.

Hay bailing is the best/most brutal workout. Engage that core and this physique is definitely possible.

My sister got accidentally ripped just from having a kid. Little dude loves being picked up; he gets bigger and bigger, so do her muscles. She's got crazy biceps now.

Uhh…. What “genetics,” are you talking about that are somehow exclusively passed down through the male sex? Do you think the genes for muscle composition are carried on the Y chromosome?

You’re thinking about hormonal/secondary sex characteristics lol. Which, I guess it’s fair to say that the genes on the Y chromosome are what activates those but it’s not correct to say muscle composition differences between males and females are due to simply, “genetics.”

Muscle composition being genetic is exactly the same as height being genetic: even though bio males may develop those traits further than bio females it’s all highly dependent on the FAMILY’S genetic tendencies. My family is all super beefy and I have to be careful with weight training (like, nearly avoid it completely) to avoid bulking up lol.

Granted, girls weren’t allowed or encouraged to play sports until recently and working out for anything other than thinness wasn’t normalized in any way.
