    You own a pair of deadlifting socks, or you own the scars from not having a pair.

    They make special SOCKS? Must get. I totally ripped up my shin and knee once on a knurled bar. :(

    You pick everything up off the floor with proper deadlift form

    I put my underwear and trousers on with proper form too!

    Those knickers stay close to my shins on the way up! :laugh:

    ... when back day somehow results in your palms and shins losing skin, and often bleeding.

    ... when you find you nearly topple down the stairs like giraffe on rollerskates on leg day.

    ... when you have awesome posture without even thinking about it.

    ... when the pool table in the Pub is in awkward place and you just deadlift and move that sucker.

    1) You walk like you have a stick up your butt the day after squats
    2) cardio bunnies start following you around the weight room asking questions
    3) men ask for your advice on proper lifting techniques, rest periods between sets, etc.
    4) you can't wait to have that protein shake when you get home from the gym
    5) It's really hard to find jeans because they don't fit your thighs
    6) your husband hands you jars to open

    After 30+ years of marriage, my mother-in-law still calls me if she needs something lifted or moved. Wonder if that ever stops?

    You will know that you are a weightlifter and CrossFitter when you keep exercising the power cleans for 30+ reps in a day and you really love to do the Fran, Grace, Isabel, and Elizabeth.

    you take 30 minutes just to gather up the 45's. Or when you have to turn sideways to pass through a door and you still think your not wide enough.
