    which reminds me.... we also shouldnt lift weights cause, obviously no guy wants to wrestle a girl that actually makes him have to put in some effort.

    cant have us getting TOO hot now can we? and good lord!!.... we might start opening our own jars!!!

    I know right , what would be the purpose of men if they didn't need to open jars ?

    I cant answer this, Ive already gotten a couple warnings about my graphic sexual vocabulary.

    Oh so that's what being a " personal sundial" means =P

    This is why I love my crossfit class the guys are just as encouraging to the girls about lifting as they are amongst themselves.

    Women should not lift weight because when I lift I moan and I grunt. It must be annoying for men because at my gym the leave really fast with their towel in front of them.


    Not sure why?

    :devil:


    There is a woman at the gym my wife and I go to that does this, while lifting her pink 5lb dumbbells . We call her porn star

    i carry 50lb bags of chicken food, dog food, bunny food, wood shavings for animals, hay bales, etc. i do think it's funny when the guys are like " i got it." i'm sure it's part of their job, but i usually say " hey, you take one and i'll grab the other ;-)."

    i am single. i live alone. i HAVE to be able to do things like lift heavy things! i'd be screwed if i didn't lift weights!!!!!
    It's not just weights... I was carrying a 30 lbs bag of dog food, no cart, because it was all I was buying, and 3 different men asked if i needed help.... ummm, no. I could one-arm it to pay and open my trunk, why would I need help?

    I'm excited because I start with a personal trainer and I'm learning to lift starting Monday. The Y I'm a member of has a lot of lady lifters, because the lady PTs lift....

    So, after last night at the gym being asked "Aren't those weights too heavy for you? Bc that's the weight Im using"

    Now, see... I would have taken that as a compliment. :happy:

    My husband is proud as hell that I can lift "like a man."

    Oh, so is my husband. I don't take that as a compliment because it was a pretty condescending thing for him to say. I am glad to take a compliment from someone any day.

    "Why do you think you NEED to be strong?" asked one of my male coworkers once.
    I guess he had a point. There's nothing in my life that requires any strength from me. I can always just ask my husband or some other man to do it all for me.
    /sarcasm

    But please don't tell my husband that lifting weights will turn me into a guy. He doesn't know yet. Right now, he's still proud that I can do more pushups than he can.

    I have literally heard every reason under the sun. Including "your uterus will fall out." True story. This is my mom's #1 concern.
    Also that lifting weights will increase my testosterone levels to the point that I'll grow facial hair.
    And that I'll "bulk up".
    And that "you'll never be as strong as a man anyway."

    As I put down my 200lbs.
    And put on a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller than I used to be able to wear.

    1. Stop worrying what other people say and do.
    2. Lifting will make you grow a penis.
