    Sad to say you are in the minority. I get way more disparaging comments than compliments.
    Well, that makes it pretty easy to sort out whose comments are to be dismissed out of hand. Just curious, comments from men or from women?

    Men to my face...women behind my back. HAHAHA

    There were two little scrawny dudes in the gym last night laughing and speaking spanish while looking at me. Not sure if they were laughing at me or not. I just kept giving them the look like, if you're laughing at me, I'll kick your a@#! :wink: :smile:

    I get that a lot at my gym here (I'm working in Moscow). I've only met one person there who speaks English, and it's a co-worker of mine. I get looks, and eyes, and laughs... it's all sorts of confusing...
    I have, however, managed to somehow share the squat rack more than once with a guy without us understanding a word the other person was saying :P Non-verbal communication ftw.


    In between lifting I or practice hip lifts, circles and belly rolls. I'm too confusing to elicit scorn.

    Agreed. And I get to intently stare with no back lash.

    I'm not saying that real women only lift and ride - I'm talking about women staying women eventhough they have men-type hobbies.
  • As long as it's not doing kipping pullups...but then that's not really lifting weights that's lifting themselves while cheating on a pullup...

    anyway, this thread is a tribute to our lady lifters....

    I dunno. I guess kipping pullups aren't soooo bad to watch.

    From my experience, men (esp if they lift weights themselves) are not bothered by a woman who lifts weights. My boyfriend loves weight lifting with me so he can stare while I do my squats. :blushing:

    Women are the ones that talk about you behind your back. Usually its the ones that are too intimidated themselves to pump some iron.

    yup! i get serious compliments from the men; women on the other hand - not so much. I really wish women would talk to me in the gym! i need some serious girl friend lifters! I think most of these girls just think i'm hitting on the guy they like at the gym. meh. i'm happliy married. I'll be more than happy to talk to anyone who lifts!

    I'm not really comfortable with someone riding a motorcycle while lifting and bowhunting. Just getting the barbell past your helmet might present a challenge.

    Ok, and I hate the 'real women' thing. It's divisive.

    Well, now I now what a kipping pull up is. I would pay good money to see someone attempt that on a wall ledge.
  • I lift at home but I remember that when I was in university, the girls would all be in the cardio room and I'd be the one lonely girl in the squat rack amongst the bro dudes. And I must say, it is pretty damn sexy to watch them lift as well. ;)

    That's called being a bad *kitten*; being awesome; being able to one up the next person.

    That's a hell of a lot sexier than sitting behind a computer and trying to argue form vs function.

    That was Holley before BL. This is Holley now and she is still going to kick butt lifting! She is VERY SEXAH!!

    No, not entirely. However, a fit woman lifting can be a good thing.

    What I didn't get before watching the documentary is the concept of mass moves mass. I just went into it wondering why she was so big and channeling that very ugly part of me that still belittles my own body. She is that big so she can move that much. Given our societal norms a young woman choosing to look a way she feels is regarded as unattractive for the sake of her sport, well, that was humbling to say the least.

    It's not lack of self control that resulted in her looking that way, it's dedication to her sport.

    She was on this season of the Biggest Loser and discussed struggling with the idea of losing weight for fear that she'd sacrifice her sport.

    Edit: since the thread moved a bit, this about the olympic lifter picture

    Google is my friend. Holley Mangold. Her personal record is 562 pounds (combined snatch and clean-and-jerk). She's a very pretty, and confident, young lady and not deserving of the mock and scorn she sometimes gets (including the intent of the original posting of her picture in this thread)

    http://www.teamusa.org/Athletes/MA/Holley-Mangold

    She belongs in this thread, IMO.


    Yes Ma'am. I agree.:smile:

    I will type when I can feel my arms later. Tomorrow is leg day. So I might not be able to walk to the computer.
