"Women Can't Lift Heavy"
Replies
-
My ex-husband jokes about my shoulders because I am one of those women that gains muscle fast. I know I won't be built like a man without the use of steroids or anything. However, going to a friend's wedding I was wearing a suit and I asked how I looked... he said "You could take the shoulder pads out" I looked him at him "I am not wearing shoulder pads"... Yep, that's me!
Of course, now I own it. It's how I am built. I can build pretty big muscle and there's nothing wrong with that! Hell, it means I can also sit around and STILL burn calories in between workouts!0 -
Here we go again.
How long before someone starts insulting her boobs?
I for one just ignore the people that put down other body types with the excuse 'Its not my preference'. Anyone that doesn't see that it is just as bad to demean fit/muscular/athletic body types. You aren't going to change their minds.

Women shouldn't lift heavy. If they do then they won't have any use for me when the pickle jar needs to be opened. And therefore ending all the things I was good for in the first place.
No, we still need you to look manly, it it makes us look and feel feminine in your arms.
(see what I did there. Did ya?)
How can I look manly without my pickles?
You've got more than one??? O.O
How YOU doin'?
:laugh:

ETA: I'd like to see that...

And while you may think her thighs are "too big", it seems kind of silly to pick one body point for reference to call the rest of what is a fairly small person "huge".
BTW, my glasses are on and the prescription is accurate
What I said: she's big
What you heard: she's too big
You didn't say she was big. You said she was huge ... in bold font! Who are you kidding with that "I just said she was big" garbage? YOU are the one who needs glasses. And a reality check, apparently.... but don't try to deny the fact that she's big. ...

The answer to pickle jars is a piece of non-slip cloth. Less high maintenance than a man.0 -

This immediately made me think of silence of the lambs when clarice finds that head in the jar.0 -

Nice selective quoting - your very first post in it's entirety:For the record, that girl is huge. Whether you're into that or not is a personal thing, but don't try to deny the fact that she's big. Good for her tho, she's a beast.0 -
Oh, and come someone more GIFted than I move the gifs from the bottom of this http://www.pophangover.com/2012/07/24/samantha-wright-americas-cutest-weightlifter/
into this thread. She moves cute too. (I apologise for objectifying this amazing woman, but until I get the chance to know her in person, that's the way it will be
) 0 -

Correct. The secret to jars, bottles and corks is grip strength. It doesn't take much strength to get even the most stubborn caps off, it's all about getting grip to apply said strength. Work on those deadlifts, pull/chin-ups, rows, etc.
Oh no, I've said too much!0 -
Again, may I just insert an objective standard here and mention that the person in question, at 5'2" and 115 lbs is actually on the low side of a normal BMI.
In other words, NOT huge.0 -

Cuuuuuute! Thank you!
And look, the ground isn't shaking as she swishes past either. Definitely NOT huge!0 -

Some of the responses on this thread make me almost as sad as when some no-mark that makes frocks for a living said that Jessica Ennis was a bit fat.0

Right! That was absolutely disgusting. It's a very similar story with what's going on here with Samantha Wright. We're talking about athletes, FFS!0 -
Women who lift are just f'ing sexy period! It doesn't get much hotter than watching an attractive women dead-lift her own body weight +. That said...be careful out there ladies...
hope she wasn't hurt!! It looks like the barbell landed on her neck....!!!0 -

Yay! People don't think I lift heavy because I'm so small - kinda like her - that's a mirror-image of my abs. My scrawny-looking, heavy-lifting self has been vindicated!
ETA: I don't think she's scrawny, but I myself have been called scrawny on MFP. 0 -
More pictures, so we can just form and assets please?
I do have a girl crush on Jessica Ennis though.
They are high muscle, low body fat (how else would you see the muscle underneath!) and stil in the 'healthy BMI', alot healthier than alot of other 'role models'.
Official weight envy now, plus gives a nice backside too0 -
I can wait to look like her (well I can dream) Just started lifting and I'm (almost) 5'2.
Fab new role model - she rocks. Thanks op :flowerforyou:0 -

And absolutely gorgeous. What's your point? Every body's different. As another example, check Amanda Harris
She can out bench me and out squat me. Daaaayum that's hot.
I love that girl so much. I would take less than 3 weeks to friend at the gym probably.0 -

I lift heavy. BUT, I'm good and obedient and ALWAY ask my husband to open the pickles/spaghetti sauce/jam jars that I have time after time tightened on with incredible strength.
In return, I twist off the top of a beer for my hard working husband to enjoy after his well done duty.0 -

Yes, exactly. You can't see what you're typing. You know you called her "huge" in your first post on this thread. Just stop already.0
