bump for the days I don't feel like going to the gym.
She's my new hero.
I wanted to be a crewchief when I was growing up, lolz.0 -
I'm like 15 pages late, but I'd like to invite the original body shamer in this tread to learn about punctuation and capitalization.0

Also, Deeva: YOU. ARE. AMAZING. My new hero!0 -

This thread is not complete without a picture of her squat butt:
Deeva - YOU"RE AMAZING.
Just plain jaw dropping, wolf whistling, stunning!!
And inspiring.
And incredible.
And, and . . . well you know . . .0 -
I don't think I have anything to apolgzie for, if the girl in the picture posted it, then good for her, she can be proud of herself... my thing is self-deprication and body shaming is not okay...no matter who's doing it, even if you're doing to yourself... I would give her a high five too.
I don't think a misunderstanding is anything to apologize for. The whole point of my post was to say that we shouldn't look at people that way, and applaud their strength, not poke fun, or self depricate.
Yeah I didn't know the OP was the one who posted a picture, but none the less she posted it on a public forum, which looked like a body shaming post with no explanation ... so yeah it bothered me. I don't spend all day lurking forums and profiles to know. I just commented on something I saw that bothered me.0 -
Beyond aesthetics, the fourth photo shows something few other weight training photos do - building muscle makes you STRONG and capable of doing awesome things. When weighing up the pros and cons, people seem to forget this :flowerforyou:
Yes! Yes! A 100 times yes!0 -

I usually can find something attractive about any woman, but she doesn't look beautiful or healthy at all. But I'm pretty sure (or at least I hope) she's not doing the heavy lifting and tanning and getting tattoos for the purpose of looking good.0

She was not shamming herself. It was a joke. Some of us don't take ourselves so seriously. I think your missing the point.0 -

Yeah me too! She is amazing, I don't think I could ever get a body like that but I am going to certainly try!!0 -
This is what she'd look like with a higher body fat percentage. :laugh:
That is sexy too, look at the determination in those eyes!
I want to agree that I find this very sexy too.0 -

Maybe it's because I'm married (and have been for a decade). Or maybe it's because I'm a mom to three small kids. Or maybe it's because I'm in my 30's.
But....I don't give a rat's hairy behind what anyone other than myself thinks of my body. I lift heavy and I do it because I WANT TO! I do it because I LOVE feeling strong, bad *kitten*, capable and HEALTHY!
Who sets the standard for what a female body is 'supposed' to look like??? I find it amusing when the people who claim that female heavy lifters with very small breasts look manly. BUT....the minute they see that same female lifter with implants....NOW she looks feminine. As it was stated before, not all women were blessed with large breasts....hight body fat or not. And I think it's a sad sad day when so many women feels it's necessary to go through a major surgery just to appeal to some standard of "femininity"
As for the butt and thighs.....you find me a girl that squats and dead lifts more than her body weight and I'll show you a smokin hot *kitten* and set of thighs. Guaranteed!0 -

LMAO, or she get's shamed for having implants! That blew up on here not too long ago, remember?0 -

I know. We women can't win. And...the saddest part?? We are doing it to each other! It's not the men that are making us feel inferior or un-feminine....it's US!!! Sad.0 -

You attacked someone for making a self-deprecating joke and you don't think you have anything to apologize for? You should have just kept your mouth shut and slunk away with your tail between your legs at the very least. Coming here and posting this indignant reply just makes you look ten times as foolish as you did before.0 -
For what its worth, I don't like soft girls, with soft stomachs, featureless sausage arms and sausage legs, with glasses and hair tied back, and call themselves "curvy" or that they "like their curves" when clearly, in fact, they are just obese or heading that way. Its not womanly, women have never really been as big or obese as they are now and to call themselves womanly is an insult to the human race...
...would be a pretty mean and nasty thing for me to say. So stop doing it the other way around.
Love this. If someone who prefers to be a more athletic and voices their distase in softer bodies they're rude. If someone who is a less athletic build voices their distaste the other way it's totally fine. Rude is rude. I prefer fit bodies personally I aspire to have one one day. Women like this are inspirations to me!

Wonder what she is compensating for?
I mean when a guy lifts heavy and has muscle he is compensating for something right? So what is a woman compenstaing for?
Don't we love stereotypes0 -
Okay, I had to stroll past all the body shaming here to say
I AM A STRAIGHT, MARRIED MOTHER OF 2 AND I THINK THIS CHICK IS SMOKIN' HOT AND SEXY AS HELL!!! I would stop and stare at her, my husband would too and I wouldn't slap him for it LOL!! :laugh: Whether or not she has "boobs" has nothing at all to do with being sexy. Having boobs does NOT make one a woman. Look at the way this woman carries herself! Look at her facial expressions! And ZOMG look at her BOODDAYYY!!!!!
Good for her!!!! And for all the women who aren't afraid to look how they want to look! I'll take "muscly" over fat and flabby any day!! That is total bad-assery right there and what I'm striving for. HIgh fives to all the lifting chicks!!0 -

Edit: My men friends tell me all the time that abs on a women is not as attractive as a flat stomach. Pff I beg to differ, wont stop me from trying.0 -
