    Well then that explains alot when I started lifting, I got all hard. I grew a penile unit from lifting, wow who'd have thought.

    Damnit ladies. Cut it out! There's only one rack at my gym and I'm tired of you all hogging it!!!

    Sit back and enjoy the view.

    That explains why I have yet to have a guy ask me to get off the Smith machine when I'm doing my death squat/deadlift routines (I'm usually hogging it for about 20-30mins)...

    Women should NEVER lift weights. We will become men and grow weiners.
    Women, please-remember to stick to cardio only and 1000 calories a day.

    NEW PLAN lift EVEN HEAVIER, grow weiner, never have to sit on toilet seat to pee again *cheers*
    Well I think women who lift look very sexy! Never saw one with a weiner? Does that really happen? If so how big is it?

    You'd probably be jealous...

    I am tired of men at my gym doing repetitive half hearted bicep curls while screaming loudly. I am tired of them leaving the weights everywhere on the floor and on the barbel so I have to spend 10 minutes moving them if I want to do anything. Also I am bored of people ignoring that I am waiting to use the cage and try to jump the queue...

    'No, honey. I am not standing here to admire how YOU perform your nowhere near to parallel 100kgs squats. I am here because I want to use the cage after YOU are done hogging it.'

    Myth you would have to take steroids/enhancements/hormones to look like a man. Weight lifting with low weight and high reps will give you muscle tone. It wont make you bulky. We are no physically possible to look like that with out other stuff. If we did, then any female who goes to the gym would look like a man.

    If I'm home, don't belong to a gym, how much weight should I lift? Shoot me an email here on MFP and let me know what weight I should attempt. I'm 51, loosing weight, want to lift, just don't know where to start. Thanks! Have a 5 lb kettlebell and I know that's not doing the trick.

    I loved this video/article by Nia Shanks and a very simple, helpful way to share with friends that ask about weight lifting.

    Good forum title for drawing in lots of readers. Seems these types of titles always bring in the most people.

    Don't eat bananas either - otherwise - instantaneous weight gain
  • I just started with a trainer this morning using free weights. By the time I left, my legs felt like jello and I thought I was going to throw up....Now you are telling me I'm not going to be able to write my name in the snow????? This is very disappointing....:sad:

    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?

    I just asked one of the trainers on staff to watch me, check my form and show me where everything was. then just go do it. the more you do it the easier it is to walk in and act like you own the free weight section of the gym!

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

    Only if they go over 60g of protein in a day. Even by 1 gram. Next day, they wake up She hulk.

    GENIUS ANSWER!!

    I like New Rules of Lifting for Women. I need a specific day by day plan and that is exactly what I got. (I'm 46).

    Yes, the low weights should also be pink. And have glitter. LOTS of glitter.

    If your weights aren't Bedazzled, you're doing it wrong.

    To see bulky, look at my profile photos of me in a navy blue tank. My arms and chest are big and wide and fat. (that day I weighed 168 or so.) Then, look at the peach colored tank photos of after 2 - 3 months with some weight training and eating well. This is just showing me raising my arms above my head to take the shot, I'm not flexing. Do I look big and bulky? I'm 5' 10" hover from 150-153. I'm still a work in progress.

    (Sorry, nothing's intuitive on how to insert photos here. mebbs I need to brush up on my html.)

    I think they are trying to tell us to incorporate sex moves into our daily workouts for joint strengthening.

    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...

    bump for more clutter
