Why women shouldn't lift weights

maddmaddie

Because if women lift weights we would be more physically independent and heaven forbid we make a dude feel less "manly" or incompetent or equal to a woman.

Its one thing to offer help to be nice, but to judge you for the amount of weights you're lifting was rude. If the guy is lifting the same amount of weight you are, perhaps he needs to step up his game to make himself feel more "manly" in the gym.

This is why I like working out in the EARLY mornings (5am). The people in the mornings are there minding their own business and just there to workout. Their not there to judge or show off, I mean really...who gives a crap! People go to a gym for the same reasons, to get in better shape. Stop looking at what others are doing and focus on your own workout.

big muscles on women means they can carry bigger sammiches AND a pitcher!

But seriously, there is nothing worse than a bunch of women taking over the free weights and just leaving uterus' laying around.
Like we want to see that!

Lol at this thread!

What a douche that guy is. I think its freakin sexy when girls lift!

I dont have to feel insecure about it as there wouldnt be that many women lifting the same as me, but I am jealous of the some of their perfect form.. and their lifting form. Squats I suck at, I get jealous when I see girls just smashing em out with their awesome hip mobility haha!

actually, the increase in strong women has caused consternation among the highschool coaches of the world.

If there is a lady squatting a volkswagen at one end of the gym, the coach can't rightly accuse you of lifting like a little girly man, now can he?

You females are jeopardizing an gal-darned 'Merican institution! aint right

I think I love you, lol.

Also, LOVE THIS THREAD!!!! So many of my friends are worrying about bulking up after lifting 2lb weights once a week for a month. Ugh, it's sad, lol.

God forbid I open my own pickle jar.

Still can't. A guy came up to me and said "are you training for something? You lift heavy as ****!" made my week, however that is another problem, when women lift heavy, we confuse the bystanders into thinking we must be training for an event... Not just to be strong and fit.

I see the ladies in there pumping some damn good weight, lots of the other guys DO get intimidated for sure as they walk off. But I find it hot as hell when she has good forn, knows what she is doing, and has a thick set of legs! Love it i posted the fcked up pics as a joke but really enjoy seeing lifting women

lol at my boxing academy one of the assistant coaches COMPLIMENTS us by saying "You hit like a girl" while pointing at this skinny little girl. Reason? That girl have taken out guys twice her size because she hits so freaking hard. You would never in a million years imagine she can hit that hard

I figured they were. But so many women here get that initial "swole" and think that they are going to end up like the ladies in the pics. Nikki's right, they don't look like that on accident...

Damn. It is cheaper downtown.

That would get you heavy itchin' not heavy liftin'

oOTaraOo

I got mad before as there is a thread called Nice Arms (under Fitness and Exercise) where there has been at least 2 guys comment that it is near impossible for a female to get biceps like this without taking steriods....



I recommend any of you ladies who have biceps like this or bigger please go and post them to prove them wrong :P

I was thinking the coaches might be afraid the cheerleaders are going to take over the weightroom as their role models get stronger!

Double post :grumble:

I wasn't going to comment in this thread because I hate having things like this in My Topics, but THIS made me literally laugh out loud. That's awesome.

I had a guy ask to work in with me once...and then he saw what I had loaded and asked if we could unload some because he was "in recovery" from an injury. I love that he needed an excuse. It's okay to just say, "B!tch, you amazing! I can't lift that much!" and move on.

Women should not lift weight because when I lift I moan and I grunt. It must be annoying for men because at my gym the leave really fast with their towel in front of them.


Not sure why?

:devil:

Alas, I must tell my tale of woe. There is a reason women shouldn't lift and I'm afraid it's too late for me. Take heed. Learn from my mistakes.

I stumbled into the group class at my small gym (stumbled aka being nosy aka wanted to stir things up a bit - WHATEVER you'd like to call it). All women. Bright festive coordinated clothes and at least one long flowing "gym skirt" . Music, 2 lb. hand weights, 5 lb barbells, steps, balls. Evidently that is perpetually the T & T class. They like T & T they told me. Tighten and Tone. I suggested perhaps going with me - lifting some real weights. Most of them had been in there jumping around for the entire year I've been there and haven't really seen much change. Yes, I told them this - perhaps a little nicer - but ok - NOT REALLY. And, I may have been a little hyper and loudish in my enthusiasm to get them OUT OF THAT ROOM.

Anyhoo. They told me that they do indeed LIFT WEIGHTS and that they have no desire to do MAN STUFF in the back of the gym like I do. Wasn't lady-like. I'm sad. I'm banned. Banned from and I quote " the ladies T & T class".

So.. SAVE YOURSELVES. Quit doing MAN STUFF. Get yourselves a gym skirt and hit the nearest T & T class. You won't do any toning or tigtening as far I can tell - but who needs that ? You will look FAB in your gym skirt that you wear over your sweats - AWESOME. Just awesome : )

You’ll be able to lift heavy things without asking a man for help, thus upsetting the balance of the universe.

Actually when I went to put my dumbells down, after doing 4 sets with the "too heavy weights" on the rack the idiot had a curl bar spread across so I sarcastically said, uh could you pick that up because THAT is too heavy for me.....he got the hint

Haha, good! That happened to me once. Two guys asked if I needed help deloading some 25lbs from a squat rack, because "that's probably too heavy for you." I said, "Sure, and could you put the 45's on there also?" I did my sets. I added 10 extra pounds. Don't make assumptions, especially regarding the strength of women.

Boy, doesn't it piss you off when they hold doors too? like you can't open a door. Pffft.

Yeah, that is why guys hold open doors for females! lol

Such a sad sad story.... on the brighter side less competition in the big boy part of the gym

Because the only thing the male of the species has left to contribute to society is a small physical genetic advantage. All men should be nervous for the day that women figure out that the best thing to do with us is to emulate the black widow spider; eat us after we fertilize their eggs as a nutritious meal for the developing offspring :sick:
