    Tired of people saying "Girls shouldn't lift, girls don't need muscle, lifting makes you bulky!"?

    Or others using Marilyn Monroe as an excuse not to get off the couch & get healthy?

    Well, show them what their favorite beauty icon spent her mornings doing!

      This is a great thread. And anyone who knows weightlifting would know the size of the weights don't matter, it's what you do with them. Good form and focus on the movements and body are key. Heavier weights would come naturally later for most people.

      Great pics! Thanks for posting them!

      love this post. women don't have the hormones to "get bulky" like men do. Lifting weight will make women lean, stronger and healithier.

      I love Marilyn Monroe, she was beautiful. It is a shame that by Hollywood standards today she would be bullied into losing that GORGEOUS figure, by some producer that told her she was FAT.

      I don't think that would happen, She was curvy, but very tiny.

      I don't think the poster was that far off. Before they were famous, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence both got criticized for being too "fat" for the industry. Johansson's body type even looks like Monroe's, to me.

      According to her dress maker, she had something like a 22 or 23 inch waist. That's a size 0 for jeans today. So...no. Nobody would call her fat, stacked maybe, but not fat.

      That makes her even more sexy. :)

      She had a really curvy figure though, and the squats explains the bootie!

      (P.S., She was only "big" when she was pregnant and for a short time when she filmed "Some Like It Hot." Check her out in "How to Marry a Millionaire" or "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" standing next to actresses who were considered thin even by that generation's standards.)
