    Okay so not to the level of a lot of ladies here...but I went to the trainer and asked him to set me up form-wise on more "guy" equipment (his words). So today instead of using the little leg press machine I used the plated one, and on my first day I had 75 lbs of plates on each side!!! I did 3 sets of 10, stood up, and for the first time in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, I felt absolutely badass!

    A guy came up to try to help me take the plates off, but I was able to say "Nah, I got it, Thanks!" and actually smile.

    I also used the regular squat bar - not the Smith machine, not the little dumbbells, and the trainer commented on my having "excellent form", which I was thrilled by because it's so not my thing.

    I just felt so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Running! Recent addict. Easter Sunday I came home after a big meal and decided I was really in the mood for a run. One mile eventually turned into more... eventually 3 miles!!! This coming from someone who would had never run in years unless he absolute had too... now I love it!

    BTW your socks are cool. Not even lying when I say I want to buy some funky socks for the color run in September!

    Hah! I love this!!

    I used to "only run if I was chased"... Now it's my mental health exercise. I love the feeling of getting in the zone.

    As for the socks... They were a total score! I have long legs and pretty big calves... So knee highs are never knee high on me... If I can get them over my calves. These ones came in a set and are actually "over the knee" highs. Haha

    Yeah. Not on me!

    I have these ones, grey with black hearts, black with white hearts, black ones, and black with white skulls. They're my fav!

    There is no "level" when you're feeling badass ;) Nice work!

    I didn't read the entire thread but I'm 5'9", middle aged, can almost incline bench press half of my own body weight, can front squat and RDL dead lift 2/3rds of my weight, eat some junk food, and can drop a 6 ft+ grown man in under 3 seconds in full contact sparring. Can RAAWWWRRRR too? :laugh:

    You can RRAAAWWRRR too lol

    I love doing taekwondo, and the feeling when I execute several perfect kicks in a row and make the pad go SMACK! each time! Also if I can do that and knock the pad out of the targetholder's hand, lol. That makes me feel like a beast!! I love feeling strong too! :)

    always wanted to take a martial arts class, thinking of taking Akido, mostly because there is a dojo or whatever right by my work.

    my excitement- high.

    I am confident I can pull 315 when rested. This makes me VERY happy. Glad I didn't vomit though- that was good. Vomit + deadlifts is NOT cool.

    well- I mean it kind of is- but not really because then I would have been smelly.
