barbell hip thrusts rock! sadly, i don't look as hot as the chic you posted.

Siege_Tank

Hang Snatch - the name ALONE makes this lift worth doing...


Sumo Deadlift - wide feet, lower stance, better for women, lets them use more legs and core

My personal favorite


Jeannie Bassi -235 pounds, She deadlifted double her body weight, +5 pounds (she was 115)

You're right, you look WAY hotter, absolutely stunning. The chick there in the black has some dark eyed Cruella DeVille thing going on...

That first lift looks like a very quick and easy way to break your neck.

Siege_Tank

I also LOVE snatches, jerks, and cleans.. Such a full body power move!



I'd never heard of this one, but it looks like a good lift to perform!

1. This is a box squat. There's a difference
2. You act like it's surprising that girls can do it too... :grumble:

And of course, the squat. Ladies and Girls can do it too!!!!!!!!!!!

No No I didn't mean that they couldn't, I meant that they should! and 90% of the women I know only ever do cardio or treadmills ever. And I wanted to take a shot at mentally poking those women on here that thought it was just for men to show girls doing these lifts.

Plus it's hot.

I love doing squats!

Nothing to add, just enjoying the fact that I can read through these and go "Oh, I can do that. And that. And that....and that..."

Same here hehe.

I am in love with upright rows (the secret to my shoulder success)

this. i like regular snatches, not the saggy hanging ones.

seriously though i love showing off in the gym with technical moves like this. i feel it's my duty as a member of team fatty to let people know we can also be a boss in the weight room

I love squats and deadlifts, but I'm pretty sure I would break my back if I attempted the hip thrust thing. :noway:

I'm not there yet--doing body-weight until I boost enough confidence in my squat. Something about other people being around to see makes me anxious enough to mess up my form.

It's inspiring to see that others (esp. ladies) are kicking butt in the gym.

I love upright rows, they make me feel mighty.

Oh, me! Me!



This is me after I'd done my Squat PB of 100kg x 3.

/brag.

(oh that's not what you meant by pics? LOL)

My favourite lift is power cleans, but my PB on that is actually pretty low.

I just joined a new gym and I'm just starting to learn all those awesome oly lifts! Awkward movements at first but FUN!

My faves, however, are the squat, deadlift, and hip thrusters. Though my pics aren't nearly as awesome as the ones you posted already!

I think squats are super sexual

Methinks the same. This is exactly why I am mortified to do them in a semi-public space.
