RRRRAAAAAWWWWWRRRR

MireyGal76

Just figured I'd put this out there, ya know, in case no one figured it out by now.

I LOVE being strong. I LOVE being muscular. I love the look of muscle definition, and striations, and just "ripped" in general.

I love the way I feel when I push a heavy weight off my chest, or squat with one on my shoulders.


I love the way it feels to drive my fist into a heavy bag, and hear the sound of the smack.


I love the way it feels to sweat like crazy after a long run, or how my shirt gets soaked during boxing.
I love it all! It may not be for you.

BUT MY GOD! IT IS TOTALLY FOR ME!





but you know what? I totally didn't know it would be... until I tried it. *hint* *hint*



Disclaimer: what I like, may NOT be what you like. Even though I am promoting what I like... it doesn't mean I am DEmoting what YOU like. So don't think that I am. Kthxbye


And now that I've RRRRAAAAWWWWRRRRRd... it's your turn! What is it that you love? What gets you RAWRing?

I feel this way about running! When I was a normal weight, I could run *forever*

I'd never get tired, my mind would be in a different plane of existence (runners high?) and my body felt like a machine.

I can't wait to get back to that feeling again.

Great post, OP.

Yep, heavy weight in my hands or on my back.

I feel the same way. I love getting into the zone when I am running... It's my time to figure stuff out, and feel incredible. I love getting to a point where it's also a bit of mind over matter, when I have to train myself to overcome the limits my body wants to set o nme. I can't wait until it thaws a bit more here so I can get back out on the road (cuz... well I'm a cold weather pansy).

I also hurt my hip and have been easing my way back into things... I can skip and squat and box... but still can't run without pain.

What makes me RRRRAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is the same...

My first 200lb DL made me literally roar ...I scared the kittehs....hehe

I love being able to squat my Bodyweight (159)

I love that my husband started lifting again because he knows I can squat/DL more than he can and we are Benching the same...

I love I can do chinups

I love that my man child aka son told me something was heavy and he grunted and groaned as he lifted it and when I did it was like "really????:noway: "

Oh I love those socks too...I could only find them with strips up top and argyle...

ETA: my husband loves what squats have done to my bum...so much he's not grabbing the girls half as much anymore....:sad:

This post pretty well sums up how I felt after my squat session on Monday.

MireyGal76

I confess... I am new to lifting. I build a squat rack and am slowly adding weights. I finally scored 200 pounds of weight off Kijiji... so THE GAME IS NOW OFFICIALLY ON! lol

My heavy lifting may be light for some, and heavy for others... but the fact is that I am increasing the weight, and getting stronger.
:-D

And while I may look like this when I'm flexing...


Most people see this...

This is how I feel when I go to my heavy bag class. For 30 minutes I feel like an invincible badas*.

I love these pics... but OMG, I'd be so cold in that outfit. *shiver* At least below the knees are warm ;-)

HOLY LEGS AND *kitten*!!



Err, I mean good job Mirey, you are totally doing the right thing for your health and bones and stuff :flowerforyou:

EHisCDN

You're awesome! (And your socks are even more awesomer :P).

I recently discovered that I love to lift . I also like cycling and can't wait for when I can bike outside again!

It's amazing to feel strong and powerful. The first time I felt, and then started to see, muscle definition I was so psyched. It's addictive and now I want more!

BTW I love your dress!

These pics are in my basement, and I often do a set where I start off running, then do weights and box in between my sets. I get very hot running, and then the boxing keeps the heart rate and temps going.

I keep a sweater jacket downstairs if I start to cool off during the lifts... but so far, I haven't needed it.
