I work in the main office of a high school, and one of the perks of the job is working out in the ridiculously stocked weight room for free. I've been lifting on and off for about a year. Usually when I'm there, there's no one else there. This morning when I got there the Varsity Football team was already there. I went into the locker room and had a slight panic attack and then proceeded to try and talk myself out of lifting today. The pre-lifting me would have gone for a long walk and hoped no one noticed me. I took a deep breath and found one of the coaches and asked is he minded if I lifted with the guys. He said no problem, go ahead. So I lifted with them. Did I mention that they won the state championship the last three years in a row? They are all huge, but I think I impressed them. When I was on my last set of barbell rows, I heard one of them say "She's freakishly strong."

I'll take that as a compliment. I had a great lifting day, probably because of all of the adrenaline in my system because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of a bunch of 16/17/18 year olds.

Anyone feel free to add me, I don't have many stronglifts friends.

    Bahahaha! I haven't read your post yet, but I just had to say that as soon as I read the title, it thought "Debby does Dallas". I think that says a lot about my maturity level and adolescent video choices!
