    Be warned ladies, I did a chest fly once and grew hair in my pecs-cleavage because I didn't use pink dumbbells :sad:

    Love this!!! I've been lifting since May and while I haven't grown a weiner, I've had a few lent to me...my just reward I'd say.

    I nominate this greatest comment of the thread award.

    You guys really perked up my morning, thank you!

    And now you've inspired me lift some heavy-*kitten* weights tonight when I get home from work. But I'd better not risk diving into the pool or I might turn back into a girl...

    You don't need to bump a thread that someone responded to one minute ago

    (unless you're referring to the bump in your pants?)

    bump


    bump...it's not to keep it in my news feed, but to let my private board read it too...and because "new posts" run so fast that this will be gone shortly...

    But if they lift weights, they will look bulky and like men right?

    Of course they will bulk up some, building muscle makes them bigger, however, our muscles are not "built" the same way as men, and no they don't bulk like men.

    Serious question. I love lifting and think all women who are able should try it out. It has amazing benefits. However, sometimes the weight area of the gym can be intimidating to a woman who is starting out lifting for the first time, especially if the number of men is significantly greater than the # of women in the weight area of the gym. Its great to read about the benefits, the results, and how its empowering and fun (and it is!) What advice would you all have for a woman who has everything she needs to begin physically lifting, but may have difficulty just mentally breaking into the typically male-centered weight training gym area?

    I know myself, I had a difficult time "getting over it" and starting to lift. I had to go with a friend at first to spot me and keep me from being the only woman in the area. After a while of getting more comfortable with my lifts I am a lot more confident and I feel "at home" there, but this may be an issue for some women still.

    What say you all?

    Just get a PT for a couple of sessions. That'll get you over it.

    That isn't true at all.

    I saw this one poor girl who got talked into lifting weights from one of the roided up meatheads at my gym.

    She didn't even go that heavy really, she put down the pink dumbbells for barbells,

    she started doing compounds, a little less than a month later she had about as

    much lean mass as Arnold. I felt so bad for that girl, girls don't understand they

    have it so much easier when it comes to getting bulky, unlike guys.

    Just give them one month, and they can pretty much stand toe to toe with jay cutler.

    Don't listen to the OP, heavy weights will eventually turn women into men.
