    Wish I looked that stunning when I lift weights. Even if I come from work to the gym with a full face of make up I end up looking more like a member from Kiss not Marilyn Monroe by the time I sweat like a pig

    I'm sure she did, too, if and when she lifted not for a photo shoot. :)

    You've missed the point. The point wasn't to say she is the best & strongest lifter.

    I know those weights aren't very heavy, but I think these photos are a good start for those few girls who are deathly afraid of dumbbells or anything non-cardio. If I would've showed a fitness model, they would've started worrying about looking too muscular or wtv it is people say about fitness models. I myself don't get into the "Marilyn Monroe" thing but I know she is important & a role model for a lot of girls I know (especially when it comes to esteem/body issues). Marilyn would mean more than some fitness model.

    It's possible Marilyn did lift more than that but was just told to pose with an empty bar (Since photo shoots take long & they probably didn't want her to sweat). In her pics, she has a good set of quads/calves!

    And she does a lot of calf raises... I'm sure she put on more weight when doing it at home. If you look closely at some of the pics, you can see some extra plates in the background a few feet away!

    This is great!


    But all I can think is that I'm thankful for the invention of the sports bra! Those poor women!!
