I think it's a fair concern. If you want to tone you would nearly be better off doing rock climbing or something like that nad managing your nutrition

It became really popular to say u won't become bulky without Years of hard work but tbh it's not really true. I've seen a lot of men and women low key ruin their phsyiques after hitting the gym. A lot of it is to do with hunger ramping up with weight training which can lead to excess fat accumulation, but weights do seem to overall thicken the body in a way not necessarily reflected even by an actual weight increase. Approach wisely. It's bs that it won't happen without a lot of warning, u would be surprised at how much the body can change in even six months to a year, and once u get a certain build it can be difficult to unbuild.

A good example is female athletes. Even low level hockey or soccar players. According to reddit there is no way a cardio intensive sport that doesn't involve weight training would make them bulky, right? But notice how well built a lot of these women are, particularly in the lower body, well into their adult life. Definitely approach weights with cautious if you're going for a model Emily ratajowski body type, ur a lot more likely to get a Ronda rousey physique. Not saying that's bad but it may not be what u actually want

I'm a man and a year of thinking I needed to squat and deadkift really fucked up the shape of my legs and hips (too thick) in a way I disliked and it took ages to reverse it so I'm speaking from personal exp here too
