    ok there is only so far a girl can go with lifting before she starts to look like she has a mans body......... girls that lift are sexy just not when they get too much muscle and no fat to cover it, i like a bit of fat i dont mind being skinny fat just not fat like i am now and so i look toned but not too toned, i dont disagree with women wanting muscle but my opinion is i dot think it looks good. women are meant to have boobs not a man like chest like you see in pics posted.. sorry if i have offended anyone but this again is my opinion x

    Everyone has there a opinion and I respect yours so here is my opinion of your statement since I too have one. There is no real ideal woman body. Are brains are just programmed (from tv, magazines, parents, etc) on what it should be and because of that we assume that what a woman should look like. I enjoy all types of bodies on a woman. I do not think there is an Ideal body for a woman as long as its a healthy body. I enjoy fit woman like the lady in the pics above and I enjoy woman with curvy bodies. To say woman are meant to have boobs is nuts only because there are woman who are skinny who are A Cups and do not have big boobs. So don't give her crap because she works out and has a smaller chest.

    Id give anything, do anything to look even half as good as her :sad: Any woman who can grab that kind of attention in a gym is worth respecting.... and possibly girl crushing over. Ok, definitely girl crushing over.

    A man's body? Not only is that incredibly insulting to any woman who lifts heavy and aspires to look like her, but just because *you* think a woman should be soft and squishy does not mean that a ripped, amazing woman like her has a "man's" body. She is a woman, she is feminine, and there's nothing about her that is manly.

    Opinions are opinions. Just that. When someone asks a wide variety of people a question you're going to get all kinds of them. She is not trying to offend anyone, she is just stating her opinion of which she is entitled. I think hard bodies are sexy and that girl looks fantastic (not like a man at all) but I take no offense to what she has said as she was asked what she personally thought! Not sure why people get so worked up about others answers.

    I think she looks amazing! Different people like different things. There are people who love just about every body type out there. Remember the old adage though-If you can't be kind, then be quiet.

    I'm another A cup chick who lifts as heavy as I can and I LOVE the way I look. That's what padded bras are for. I love being healthy and strong and challenging my body to constantly improve.

    This...


    ... reminds me of those Beyonce photos from the Superbowl (which I thought looked awesome).

    When people are doing something strenuous, they're going to have muscles and veins and tendons bulging and popping that don't normally show to that degree. They're not going to be making "pretty" faces. And that goes for any kind of strenuous activity. Do people not realize that???

    I double dog dare anyone, no matter how soft and curvy, to do what she's doing and look delicate and dainty.

    ^^What she said. You can't look all prissy and prim and proper 100% of the time. I'm okay if my $exy face is the one I make while lifting heavy at the gym. I'm not there to get a man, I'm there to feel better about myself physically.

    I"ll admit, I'm not really attracted to the female powerlifters that were posted here.

    But, watching Leryn Franco doing hang cleans gives me the weirdest boner.

    It all boils down to personal preference.

    Then you don't mind me saying you remind me of a whale?

    No need to get insulted or worked up about my answer.

    Should point out, you don't but that is the logic you are using.

    YUCK

    Just the word that I use to describe people body shaming.

    I didn't have the energy to wade through all these pages but IMHO the girl on OP is not sexy. But I am a) a straight woman, b) middle-aged and c) don't find tattoos attractive.

    So feel free to ignore me.

    Aww hell...this again?


    I can't wait to get my body to it's own perfection...built, tight, and low BF. I'm going to post all sorts of pictures in a success thread.


    I think the original photo is great...she's hardworking and determined. I want that same body... Not sure why having a big *kitten* and boobs and hips is what determines whether I am or any other woman is indeed womanly or sexy. Your body should be how you want it, not built to please someone else. ffs.

    hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha, ok, wait, hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha, ok, for real. Do you KNOW what it took for HER to get to THAT point?!? Look WHAT she is lifting. It's cool if that looks not for you, but at least realize that everyday lifting isn't going to get you where she is. And, she is AHMAZEBALLS! Saying she has a mans chest is RIDICULOUSLY rude. What if she had had Cancer and lost her chest? Yes, more than likely its from lifting, but that is still an assumption. I have so much respect for how hard she has worked to get there.

    I definitely appreciate all the hard work and dedication it took for her to get to that level...props. However, not something I normally find attractive

    And she has all of those things. Some just might be smaller than others.

    I've had small boobs my whole life, whether I was overweight, underweight, fit, unfit. I've never had a guy complain about them. It's only been other women who had negative things to say about the size of my chest. :ohwell:

    First impressions..... I think she is hot because she is excelling in a job dominated by men, a job most women could not (or probably wouldn't want to) do. That shows great individualism and a sense of personal strength, not just physical strength. Disclaimer: I have not yet read the news story about her and know nothing about her but I intend to read it because I think she must be an interesting person.

    Would I personally like to get down to that level of body fat %? No. But I admire her dedication in doing so. It's not something that is easy to do. She does look incredibly hot in the softer pics, and who wouldn't want to look like that?

    So, I vote "HOT", and not solely on her looks.

    Its funny that the people who will bash her are the ones that are jealous

    HATERS = MOTIVATORS

    thats my motto.....the things I would do to Christmas Abbott are illegal in 14 countries lol

    I think you can "own" whatever you want as fas as your body image is concerned! And she obviously does! I would be proud if I could even come close to that. I think she rocks those tattoos! I love the one of the gun on her thigh, it is sexy!

    Neither I nor my husband find that attractive. There are extremes, and we both feel that this is one. Is it body shaming to say an anorexic is too thin? No, it is not, and that takes just as much "discipline" as extreme lifting. And like any other physical extreme, there can be consequences.

    seriously?!? Muscles and anorexia are now comparable? I don't recall there being any discipline when I was anorexic. I recall it being an issue that I needed to figure out and get under control before it killed me. But, yea, totally the same thing as now that I've put on weight and muscle.

    If I look like her can I get a job on a pit crew? (Would be my dream job)

    I am impressed with her dedication and hard work it took to get that body, and I would love to think I could look like her, but realistically I know that is just not gonna happen to me.
