    I wouldn't recommend becoming a powerlifter out of spite. You will hurt your back, and once your back is ruined it is ruined.

    Pick heavy stuff up and put it back down! Let them think what they want. It's your body.

    My dad and step-momster were mortified in June when they found out I deadlifted 135. Told me I had no business lifting anything that heavy and that I should consider just buying a bike. :noway:

    They were visiting from out of town, so I told them they might want to show up after 11 am the next day because I didn't want them to have a heart attack if they walked in and *gasp* caught me lifting, lol. :laugh:

    I agree. Lifting weights is extremely dangerous to the weaker sex. I hear the strings that hold up your your uterus can snap under the pressure, and it just falls right out. Zumba is much safer.

    If you don't see them often, humour them.

    My mother-in-law used to be an aerobics instructor in the 80's. she thinks I will hurt myself lifting heavy and that I should try marching up and down on the spot doing bicep curls with very light hand weights instead. I just give her that polite daughter-in-law smile I've perfected over the years.

    It happens. 3 surgeries later, including complete hysterectomy and bladder sling, I will just say...be careful.

    Women powerlifters?!?

    Ha!

    As if there is actually such a thing.

    OP, you're very funny...

    ...especially for a woman.
    Thank you. I aim to please.

    If a 40 pound bag of clothes is too heavy, what would happen if, say... a 40 pound child fell and sprained her ankle and needed to be carried? Just leave her there for the crows?
    Exactly. My 2 year old is 32 pounds now. Not being able to carry him? Not an option.
