    When someone reads your weight lifting thread and they are scared to start lifting of fear that you all will tell her she's doing it wrong:)

    But TASO!!! The gloves are so sexy!!!


    Really. This is my genuine honest to goodness reason for wanting them. Accessorizing while lifting is OK with me. I do it in victory rolls fer pete's sakes!

    I think the wrist wraps look even more badass

    agreed. I somehow deleted the pics of me using those.... darn. That was a great pic too.

    I was gonna say look at Nerdy_rose's pic...the one that shows her lifting glove. That wins. You know it. I know it. She knows it.

    When the gym manager tells you "it might be a good idea to switch gyms, as we don't have heavy enough weights for you"

    When even the women who are not smart enough to wear a sports bra while running on the treadmill can't break your attention from a heavy lift. lmao
    Just reading that post makes my girls hurt...



    When you get looked at like you have two heads when you carry your Christmas tree up to the counter and then to your car one handed with your "weak" arm.

    When you can drag a decent sized deer with one arm.

    When your dad askes you to just hold your half of the deer up long enough for him to set his half in the truck and you end up lifting the body clear over the tailgate. (This earned me a good comment from my dad about how I am getting stronger.)

    When you are lifting and the women in the gym keep staring at you like you are from another planet. (I currently just use my work gym which doesn't have too much to offer but does have a set of weighted bars and a whole wall of free weights. Once I out grow the weighted bars they have to offer I will pay for a gym membership and look for a gym friend to spot me.)

    When your 16 year old athletic son tells his friends, "my mom is so JACKED!" (I hope that is a good thing!)

    You find yourself forcefeeding the kids 'cause they're just not a challenge to curl anymore.

    ....you (awkwardly) run into your boss at the gym and he leaves after 20 minutes because he's uncomfortable with the realization that you lift more than him. :laugh:

    your shins, knees and the tops of your thighs are all banged up and you dont care when you wear a little black dress.

    Some guys might find that quality really sexy. My wife has a couple of nasty bruises on her ankle and knee from blocking shots playing hockey. Is it weird that I find them sexy? (not the bruise of course but the badge of honor, courage and her pure awesomeness that they represent).

    When "Skin the Cat" is a part of your stretching routine.

    I'm honestly frightened to Google this.

    Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-TpLJYJU5o


    My gym doesn't have rings, so that's not going to happen any time soon :)

    I do them on a pullup bar.
