How to convince my mom that lifting weights won't make me bulky?

What can I say to show my mom that lifting weights isn't a bad thing? That I won't look masculine - just healthy?

Why are you trying to convince your mum that lifting will not make you bulky, just ignore her comments (unless she's preventing you from training).

Basically what you just said about women having very low levels of testosterone.
It's that simple.

Maybe show her some videos of women training with heavy weights to demonstrate how (stereotypically) feminine they still look.

I've been using weight machines for about two months now, and of course, I've gained muscle. This for me is a great thing - I love knowing that I'm getting stronger. Anyway, my mom keeps telling me that I should stick to the same amount of weight and increase the reps so that I don't get "bulky". However, I don't see the problem with women gaining muscle? I'm not injuring myself (I'm very sensible about how much weight I use and am careful not to strain any joints or pull any muscles) and it's not like I'm bodybuilding or anything. I'm like 90% sure women can't get the physique of a man without steroid usage due to lack of testosterone?

Show her any weight class in Weightlifting that's not >75kg, and you will see a load of women who do very high intensity, high volume training with very feminine physiques.

Just agree with her and say you'll follow her advice, then make your gainz in secret.

Lifting weights will increase your muscle mass, if you eat to support it. Although, certainly not anything close to a typical female bodybuilder without copious amounts of tropicana.

The real issue here is: why does your mum think that girls or women should not be strong or have visible muscle mass?

Thankfully, you are under no obligation to pay attention to her.

MORE WOMEN IN THE WEIGHTS ROOM!

Keep going for them gains girl, mum's will worry, you won't look masculine or bulky unless you want to be.
When you're training you will notice your body changing and if you see something getting a little bit too defined switch up your routine.

Start some body weight strength training or yoga then show her all the amazing stuff you can do with your body, she'll be happy if you're happy and healthy!
