Women lifting heavy - with pics

whierd

Ladies, when trying to show people that lifting doesn't make you bulky, don't show photos where you flex.
It doesn't look bulky to your eye, because you're thinking lady-bodybuilder bulky. But some of the people who fear bulk are actually just afraid of the cut look, where you can see the muscles.

Show your relaxed photos that show what you look like on a daily basis.

The flexed photos are awesome in general, but not for this purpose. Sometimes they are detrimental to the effort.

No.

That's the point, though... when flexed the muscle looks entirely different than when not flexed. I can make myself look bulky, but when I'm not lifting, there's no bulk there.

You have a very pretty body. I'm interested to see how you look after a few more months of lifting.

Before lifting weights in January 2013




After a couple of months of lifting weights






After 6 months of lifting weights















Edit: I just read the post about "please don't post pics of yourself flexing because it will scare girls who don't want to get bulky" so sorry if my offensively huuuuuge muscles scare anyone away

Most of my lifts are in the intermediate/advanced ranges for my weight class. Bench is lagging behind, almost to intermediate, because of my surgical history, but it's catching up.

here's one of me with enormous delts and biceps



and here's one of my bulky man-physique

DIBS!! :flowerforyou:



And holy moly Crank, I never ever get tired of seeing your pictures. You have made an incredible transformation and should be so proud.

I'm really looking forward to it, as well. You are already so beautiful, it's going to be wonderful to see where lifting will take you.

I have seen your pics a few times and I always thought your competition pics looked super cutiepie.
