Ladies would you be opposed to.

RunDoozer

Just wondering if any of the ladies would have any problems with me starting to post in here regularly. I thought it would be more appropriate to ask your opinions than just start posting and force my way in. If you do have a problem with it please say so. I don't want to step on anyones toes and be as respectful as possible. The truth is that this is the most supportive group in regards to stronglifts that I have been able to find. I am on the waiting list to get into the stronglifts inner circle but that probably is going to take a while.

Appreciate your feedback and again looking for honest opinions.

I think you would make a great honorary lifting lady. We are way cooler than the Medhi's inner circle. I always add jerk to that in my head when I read it. I'm so mature. :devil:

LorinaLynn

Only if you PROMISE you don't have cooties.

I just joined here, so I dont have a problem with it!:)

I don't even do pure Stronglifts (I actually do a mix of Starting Strength and Barbell Rows with my sets anywhere between 3x5 and 5x5), and they haven't kicked me out yet, so ... welcome!!!!!

Besides, all the groups here are open to any MFP members (far as I know), so ... post away! You certainly don't need my permission. I'm just a fellow scrub learning how to pick up heavy things and put them back down again. :laugh:

Owait, you're a dude? :noway: :huh:

Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. GETITOFFME !!!!!

Then again you have Calvin as your avatar which is only my 2nd most favorite comic of all times ... so I'm torn now. Thanks.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Everybody, quick, put on your clothes...MAN ON THE FLOOR!! :laugh:

I'm cool with it...actually somewhat "honored" that you'd deign to hang with the chicks.

sarahz5

Approve. :drinker: I was actually going to suggest the same thing earlier today!

Both of these responses are awesome.

And I don't mind either. I'd thought we'd already kind of adopted you anyways. Join us in being a badass b!tch in the chat thread too! :laugh:

Bwahahahaha....Ermagerd, it took me reading this THREE times to get it...And I love it!!!!

Not opposed, here...I would probably not be caught dead in underwear via camera, anyhoo...and if I was, it'd only be because I'll be hawt enough to pull it off, LOL...

ETA: I just saw Doozer's pix. He's cute...Can we keep him, mom? Huh, can we, can we? :bigsmile:

Will_Thrust_For_Candy

Oh okay you can stay....as long as when you make it into Mehdi's inner circle you keep us posted of all of the craziness that happens in there!

Oh and you must be okay with girl talk

And must be very kind if there are underwear pics or other such bada$$ery :laugh:

I clicked the link to get into the Inner Gold Circle (jerk - thanks, Tree...It's just gonna be like than in my mind forever and ever, amen, LOL) and I got an email asking why I wanted in and what I could bring to the community. So I replied (and did not say it's because I am a 174 pound bundle of really adorable fluff), and have not heard back, but am dying to know what goes on in there...LOL...Must be my girly-nosey-thing rearing its ugly head...

Boys are icky, but you may stay if you so desire it.

It's been three weeks since I heard anything and he only does new members once a month. It is also 9 bucks a month but kinda think its worth it and I dont mind paying because it's helping me so much. I can see why women think he's a jerk because he kinda doesn't acknowledge them at all. I am not sure if thats why tree thinks he is a jerk but I'm sure it applies to some women.

He has a reputation for being kind of a douche in the lifting world, just because of how he writes and promotes his stuff. the 'limited time offers' and hard sells. He'll say things like "it's scientifically-proven that strength is size." but he won't link any of the articles to back that up, which, to be fair, really doesn't matter because he makes plenty of money without doing that, and most people don't actually want to know. Its still a perfectly good program, and it draws lots of people in because its free, but he talks about it like its the ONE TRUE WAY TO SUPER BIG MUSCLES AND FLAT STOMACHS.

It just tends to turn off women more than men because they're like "I've heard this is a good beginning strength program but this material does nothing but talk about SUPER STRENGTH and SUPER SIZE and how THESE ARE THE BEST EXERCISES HAND SELECTED FOR YOU" And for whatever reason, that seems to turn a lot more women off than it does men. Which, again, I don't really think he's made a bad choice there, he probably gets far more male followers with this method than he loses in female followers.

I get the newsletter and he is kind of an @$$ in those, too. "Yeah you can try it this way, but you won't get the results/you'll get hurt/quit being a cheapskate and purchase your own equipment/get a better gym membership..."

But nosey as I am... LOL...

Juliejustsaying

Doozer, I GUESS I'm okay with it..but just be aware that we will NOT sweeten our speak for you...I swear like a sailor and I refuse to be dainty for you....It is a well known fact that women who lift grow a pair..and it is a sizable pair at that...so, yeah we are going to scratch and fart...dutchovens are not out of the questions, just saying. As long as you aren't squeamish and aren't afraid of stinky sweaty BAMF women, well you can stay. I"m scary you HEAR ME? heehehehe (yeah I said it...all 5'1" of me is scary as hell!!)



that being made clear..I've been an absolute whiney, annoying, pissant b*tch and they haven't kicked me out. Can't see they would toss you for just having more dangly bits...

well damnme..he is cute...How YOU doing?

Owait, you're a dude? :noway: :huh:

I don't do Stronglifts either. I just hang out here because it's where all the cool chicks that lift are.
