    When I was competitive, my mother used to call me "The Shoulders", as in "Here comes The Shoulders, ask her if she's going shopping too". Made me very self conscious about them and for years i wouldn't wear sleeveless or heaven forbid, halter anything. Ever. I don't know why it bothered me so much. My competitive group was very small, females lifters in the early 80's were considered freaks and *kitten*, but for some reason that didn't bother me at all. :indifferent:

    If lifting is wrong I don't want to be right.

    This is what my husband asked me this morning when he saw me drinking my whey protein shake after lifting weights this morning. I'm starting stage 2 of nrolfw this week. How can I convince my husband that I will not "look like Jillian" when I'm done?- he's apparently not a fan of her arms/shoulders. Should I just make him read the book?

    Keep the suspense alive. Tell him to "wait and see".

    Just adding my two cents...I've spent the better part of my life being afraid of being "too strong...not girlie enough...careful she'll kick your *kitten*..." And where has it gotten me? Overweight, unhappy, and more pissed off lol. I want to be strong, I want defined muscle, I want to be a man I guess! FFS...to each their own...I'm going to make me happy. Men have a tendency to flock to confidence regardless of physique. I'm a more confident person when I like the way I look...bring on the muscles! :love:
