Ruined my body lifting HEAVY ( sadly with pics)

mfpcopine

As you can see in my before picture...I was shapely and very womanly.....



I feel victim to the notion that woman would NOT bulk up by lifting heavy...boy was I wrong....I wish I had not strayed from doing the ellipticals everyday for 60 minutes...I have so ruined the looks of my body.. I have man arms now :sad: I should not have donated my 3 pound pink barbie weights... I should not have started doing deadlifts ( currently at 180lbs...) Thankfully, I have come to my senses before it was too late!
THIS is what lifting heavy will do to your bodies ladies...you have beem warned.

First of all, I don't think your arms bad. But I respect your preferences. I used post all the time about the problems women could have with heavy lifting targeted on areas that they did not want to build up. I posted the following link a few months ago. Many people guffawed.

Can I just say that I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who almost missed the sarcasm in the original post. :drinker:

I considered it was sarcasm, given that her arms are not that big, but this remains a real issue for some women.

Yeah I thought I had this problem to and assumed I was going to skip into a bodybuilding competition. Then the calipers were brought out, and I was told that no I don't have a lot of muscle. I was just fat. lol!!

Damn woman! You look fantastic!! Can't wait til I can deadlift 180. The people who missed the sarcasm are hilarious... women don't bulk up like crazy! Eesh. Every lady can benefit from heavy lifting, barring injuries and medical conditions. It has done wonders for my mother since osteoporosis starting rearing its ugly head.

I think you hit your head with those 3 pounds weight as you were lifting..... Get it girl!

I don't see where anything is ruined, maybe you took off some fat and got some lean muscle but not enough to be in a muscle competition! You look great! Maybe we don't see what you see in the picture, IDK, don't get it!

LOL you're obviously joking. I don't see any "man arms" on your after pic nor is it huge.

You look great.

i literally have nothing nice to say. If you arent being sarcastic, please accept this digital punch to the neck. if you are genuinely thinking that is bulky, youre blind and delusional. please go back to your cardio. i dont want you anywhere near my weight room.
