How do I get my wife to stop lifting heavy?

Buy her a copy of P90x or Insanity along with a new broom and dust pan for Christmas. The video will make her go from ripped and sexy to skinny and skeleton-ish in no time flat and the broom will increase her productivity around the house. Just be nice and get her initials engraved on it, now that says love.
Can you please tell my husband where to get me an engraved broom & dustpan for Christmas?? That's all I really, really want!!! It would make my life complete :bigsmile:
I can make you one with a knife from my drawer and $19.95 + S&H.
I'll pass that along to my husband. I'm not allowed to handle money....due to my delicate female status.0 -
Would it help if I spray-painted her dumbbells pink?
I definitely think it would. Dipped in glitter too.
I actually would be more inclined to lift if the dumbbells were pink and glittery.
Pink and glitter makes everything awesome
I would love to sneak into my gym late at night and replace all the dumbbells with pink glittery ones, just to see the looks on the meatheads' faces.0 -
lol some people really need to tweak their sarcasm detectors!
"Tweak"? Those bad boys need a total retrofitting!0 -

I laughed so freaking hard when I read this!
The men in one of the gyms I work at are SO serious about their weight-lifting - I so WANT to do this!
Maybe in December I'll sneak in and wrap each one like the set Frank gives Rocky in The Rocky Horror Pictures Show!0 -
The ad at the bottom of my screen was just "Part Neanderthal?" ( I think it was for some DNA testing or something.)
Seems appropriate somehow...LMAO :laugh:0 -
.......... just dumb0

If you still grunt really loud and struggle visibly while lifting a glittery pink weight, is it still uber manly?
As long as the wrap is pink and glittery, I think this is perfectly acceptable.0 -
:laugh:Punch her in the balls0

thank you! lifting weights will actually help burn fat! come on ppl get it together...
(I got this, Kittie....) Bless your heart. :flowerforyou:0 -
I really hope you're joking...?
Lifting weights is really good for women, from a fitness and appearance point of view, as well as from a physiological/health point of view, for example it helps to improve bone density...
Technically a woman shouldn't be able to get too big, or body-builder-like without taking a little extra something on the side, our bodies don't produce enough testosterone...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble at home lately. Recently, my wife has gotten into lifting heavy weights. How can I tell her to stick to cardio with the rest of the ladies without sounding like a total jerk? I told her than men don't really like women who lift, but she said I should love her no matter what. She's trying to lose weight anyway, so lifting weights is really counter productive. It's only been about 2 weeks, but already she's started bulging and her shirts are ripping to shreds. We can't really afford to buy new clothes every month. She's also started growing dark hair in all the wrong places, and her sex drive is through the roof (I'm still sore). What am I supposed to do?
Someone telling me NOT to lift/work out would make me want to do it that much more....just to piss them off.
MEN like women who look fit & feminine....Insecure little BOYS like 98-lb. weaklings they can push around both physically and mentally.
What are you supposed to do? Crawl back under the bridge with the rest of the trolls.0 -

Why are you letting her out of the kitchen long enough to go to the gym? Tell her to make you a sammy like a good little woman.
Correct answer.
But shame on anyone answering the trolls post seriously.0 -
What are you supposed to do?
1. If she starts turning green and speaking in tangents, run.
2. Go fix her a damn sandwich.
3. Buy something pink and lacy, and maybe she'll take it easy on you tonight.0 -

I intended no disrespect...if a man really likes you the number on the scale won't matter much.0 -
Afraid she's gonna kick your *kitten* or what?! Grow a pair and stop being threatened by a woman with a little muscle.0

What I read between the lines was:
"My wife can bench, squat, and lift pretty much more than me on everything, how can I get her to stop so I don't look like a girly man?"
Hanz & Franz will pump joo up!
Thanks for the laugh man, I appreciate some good sarcasm!0
