Yep!CoderGal is that the leopoard print with the hip strap things?
Cool- I couldn't tell- it is just a "quote" block- with nothing in it- so I was taking a stab that it was mine.
Yup- just cut out pieces- install zipper- add straps. win win. I love high slitted skirts- SO thexy!
I have actually added a added a black side panel since then because after I hemmed the side- it got to narrow for around the booty LOL
hollar for skirts- I"m sad I can't see your pictures till I get home!!!

I was hatin' on pink dumbbells. The little tiny ones that some women do because they're afraid that if they lift anything heavier, they'll get all hulk smash. What they've been told is that high reps with these pink dumbbells will lead to "toning" (which doesn't mean what people think it means; what they mean to say is visible muscular definition) and not bulkiness. 99.999% of the time time (your friend's experience excluded), nobody female gets bulky unless they eat big and lift big for a long time or they're juicing (steroids) and they lift big and eat big for a less long time.See, and if it had been a *pink* walkman, she would have just gotten toned by working out with it, not hyooooogeeee!
Sorry, I didn't get that.
It wasn't a dig at you or your roommate at all, please understand. It was an eyeroll about the pink dumbbells phenomenon, that's all.
Hey now. I bought some pink 1 pound dumbbells for my sister, don't hate.
I mean she's 4 and just kind flails them about while trying to mimic my mother, but I'm almost positive they weigh more than her little purse full of cheerios so I'm pretty sure she's getting a workout.
I think it'll be time, soon, to upgrade those babies to 2lbs. Just saying.
Whoa whoa there Joy. Do you want my baby sister to turn into some kinda bulky man monster? Sheesh.
Also her form is awful. She does her 'deadlifts' starting from a full on *kitten* to the grass squat, then thrusts her butt up, then the rest of her body. And don't even get me started on her overhead press!
Wait!!!!! You have a CHILD exercising? You know they are supposed to sit on a couch until they're 18 and ready to sign up for MFP, right? They're delicate little things and will hurt Demselves if they so much as look at anything strenuous.0 -
My daughter (aged 6) has 1 lb dumb bells and they're blue. So she's tough.0

I don't think you have to worry until she hits the 10lbers. That'd be serious biz right there!
But seriously, if she pulls off a deadlift with 2lbs, you should still video for prosperity and to show off! :bigsmile:0 -
I swore for years that I put on muscle fast. As soon as I started lifting my measurements and weight went up. My clothes fit tighter and I looked much bigger. Now as a competitive bodybuilder I realize it was mostly swelling and fat, not huge muscles. My legs were the worse and I find now that I have low body fat that's where I store most of my fat.
In these two pictures I have the same amount of lean mass, but different body fat.
25%
18%
Once again, I am a competitive bodybuilder with low fat, so you will not get a back like the second picture without working hard for it.
Just bumping my comparison pictures to show how body fat plays a roll. My muscles look much bigger without the fat. Initially my measurements all went up because of water retention and dropped as my body fat dropped.
Just bumping them again, because
In for bumping just because! :drinker:
...O and because I agree. 0 -

someone on another site posted a picture of their kid doing an O.H.P with like a broom stick and two shoes on each side- i twas hysterical.
I think they were like 2 or 3.
Good for anyone who gets their kid lifting early!0 -
I don't think it's about getting stronger really quickly, which some do. I think the OP was talking about actually putting on bulky muscles, which MOST women don't. My college roommate, however, was an exception. She used to go running while carrying a walkman -- yes, it was in the stone age -- and she had to alternate arms to avoid building up one huge bicep. I kid you not. Wish I had a pic to show.

[/quote]I use tiny dumbbells for shoulder therapy. But they ain't pink. Just sayin'. Gotta have standards.
It's ok for your sister to use pink dumbbells though because she's only trying to get toned, right?:laugh: My natural deadlift is like that too. I spent six months working on my form with a very slender trainer with long arms and torso. I gotta da shrimpy arms and torso and da long laigs, so I can't be sitting all upright, for cryin' out loud. But anyways, deadlifts! All the deadlifts!0 -
I certainly do! I hate it. I stick to cardio exercises for the most part. When I was doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, I quit midway because my arm muscles were getting larger and not going down. That was the end of that for me! I have a small frame and it didn't look right. My goals differ from most others on this site, I really just want to lean out. Feel free to add me if you are the same :flowerforyou:0

I'll have to ask my mom to video it next time we talk. It's too funny, mostly because she's got this serious teeth gritting full on concentration face. And then 'booty pop. stand up, cheer. Back into squat.'0 -

Nope. This did not happen. Your muscles did not get bigger.0 -

This is AWESOME!! Much more definition, no more mass. It's all about the body fat folks!
Do you have a back flexing picture at 25% BF, too? I would love to see the flexing comparisons. You have a gorgeous back, by the way. And arms. And shoulders!0 -

Could you imagine if these women would just change their goal when they realize their talent? It would put the competitive bodybuilding and lifting world on its ear! :laugh:0

I realized it was an old thread when I saw AZachery.
Edit: Oh wow, looks like it got revived in June of this year, on the first page.0
