    How else is a woman suppose to achieve a round *kitten* and big thighs if squats aren't a part of the equation? =P

    As a woman, I don't want to look too bulky. Boys don't like that. I would rather have long, lean muscles so I do a lot of stretching.
    I am also mostly interested in burning fat, so i do cardio.
    I see some girls lifing at my gym. It's so awkward, and I bet they just do it to be around the guys. And all that grunting is so unfeminine.

    Ya - bulky.

    Alot of females are still scared of lifting weights because they believe they will get bulky. Not true, genetically not possible unless your on steroids. Weightlifting WILL do this: give better arm & leg definition as well as some tight glutes, and best of all more functional strength for everyday life. Females should progressively strive to lift heavier but if you are content at how you currently look you can just stay at that weight & maintain. Muscle is not like like fat, you can actually "spot train".

    Are you kidding me right now? I can't even express how disappointed I am to call myself a fellow woman along side you - this is ridiculous. All that grunting is unfeminine? Are you serious? I wasn't aware there was a feminine rule book. I better read up on it because I'm sure all that farting I've done after Yoga makes me unfeminine. I must mind my Ps and Qs or else my boobs might be taken away.
    Holy crap.
    *facepalm*

    I highly recommend reading this. It's got all kinds of important information about how us ladies should behave in public. And yes, grunting is a no-no.

    This is all pretty ignorant. Women that lift hard and heavy are extremely hot. I find them sexy and feminine. Curvy doesn't mean fat. Curvy women are curvy with low body fat. You really need to educate yourself a bit on this subject. You have the wrong idea. Totally wrong.

    Okay guys, this is getting too serious. My first post was sarcastic, and when I saw that some people took it seriously i just went with it.
    I actually do lift, and I love it.
