She has a sturdy, athletic (if she’s working out) muscular build. She has a thick neck, and muscular arms and shoulders and strong legs. She can dress to de emphasize these features, but no she’s not particularly slender or gracile. Esthetically I prefer her look to more skinny or slender build. ---

Poor Britney. She got shit when she was “fat”. Now she’s getting shit for having muscles. The child can’t win. ---

Do you think she looks too muscular in some these pics that I’ve posted? In which pic do you think she looked more muscular? ---

> [@Danny92](#): > > Why do you think this? I’m sure isn’t. My mistake, I looked at two quickly and the biceps looked a bit different than the sleeves but I think I just didn’t look close enough. How muscular is too muscular? I can understand people have differing views on that but IMO nothing about the photos posted come anywhere close to “too” anything. Either way, it’s not masculine or feminine - it’s fit and athletic. I think she looks great in those photos. ---

You know, the only reason I clicked on this thread - I don’t care about Britney’s arm tone - was the phrasing of the OP title. “Has Britney Spears manly arms?” Still can’t quite parse the phrasing…but, in looking, no, she hasn’t… ---

I think she looks great in those photos. IMO, ‘too muscular for a woaman’ it’s when she looks as strong as average male than don’t works out or areN’T into sports. ---

She has always had short, thickish limbs. ---
