    I cannot think of a single valid reason why a woman should not lift weights. No matter what your fitness goals are lifting weights should always be included. Woman that lift weights is not only sexy, but also to me says a fair amount about her character.

    I was told I would hurt myself pushing that kind of weight. "Oh, but kind Sir, what do you think I do with my hubby on top of me?"

    haha. I like this post. I have to remember that letting my husband carry stuff for me makes him feel helpful. I had a baby in one arm, and a 20lb bag of cat litter in the other. I was all like " no, I'm fine "

    which reminds me.... we also shouldnt lift weights cause, obviously no guy wants to wrestle a girl that actually makes him have to put in some effort.

    This is why I love my crossfit class the guys are just as encouraging to the girls about lifting as they are amongst themselves.

    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:


    There is a woman at the gym my wife and I go to that does this, while lifting her pink 5lb dumbbells . We call her porn star

    i carry 50lb bags of chicken food, dog food, bunny food, wood shavings for animals, hay bales, etc. i do think it's funny when the guys are like " i got it." i'm sure it's part of their job, but i usually say " hey, you take one and i'll grab the other ;-)."

    i am single. i live alone. i HAVE to be able to do things like lift heavy things! i'd be screwed if i didn't lift weights!!!!!
    It's not just weights... I was carrying a 30 lbs bag of dog food, no cart, because it was all I was buying, and 3 different men asked if i needed help.... ummm, no. I could one-arm it to pay and open my trunk, why would I need help?

    I'm excited because I start with a personal trainer and I'm learning to lift starting Monday. The Y I'm a member of has a lot of lady lifters, because the lady PTs lift....
