    As MoreBean is a bully, and I realized that I actually do not have any pics of me with clothes on...taken when I got home from work.

    Deadlift: 280lb
    Squat: 3 x 210lb
    Bench 135lb
    OHP: 95lb

    5 6" 151lb

    Bulky?

    Well, I'm workin' on it. I currently weigh around 163 and I am 5'5", so I do still have fat I want to get rid of. I've been lifting heavy since September of 2012, so I have a ways to go yet.

    I started only about 5-6 weeks ago & am naturally athletic. I get a lot of comments on my arms.
    Stats: 5' tall, 116lbs

    Squat: 105lbs
    Deadlift: 95lbs
    Overhead press: 50lbs
    Leg press: 360lbs

    Hoping I remember how to post pics. I don't have a recent one in street clothes though.

    I see Sara already fixed it, but you need [i m g] in front of the url, and [/i m g] at the end (but without spaces). You were close.

    I told you no smiling in the gym. : ) How come you look all calm while lifting and I look like Im trying to eat my own face? LOL

    Great work ladies. This thread is amazing.
  • Thank you all for posting! Will def start lifting heavy as soon as I finish this round of Insanity. You are inspirational!!

    Morebean, your FL is right! Posting the stats does inspire others! I feel just about ready to ditch my scale and solely measure my progress with measurements and progression with lifting.
  • I lift with dumbbells ranging from 5-15 lbs. it feels challenging to me but im not the strongest girl lol

    < --- Total Beast!

    But seriously, I'm stronger and I'm a faster runner now that I switched from high rep, low weight to low rep, high weight. I highly recommend heavy lifting for women!

    Okay, yeah, some might call me bulky... but I am a beginner when it comes to lifting and I've been a cardio junkie/runner/martial artist for the last 15 years. I just started lifting in October and while I've gotten stronger, I haven't gotten any bigger. So if lifting makes you bulky, well just being can make you bulky too... just saying. It's genetics to some degree.
