    Oh, heck yeah! I'm always flexing for my husband telling him to "Feel my muscles. Go on. Feel them." He always oohs and ahhhs and tells me he's proud of me. I wish I was as cut as some of you. I'm getting there though. Someday......

    1.5 years of Crossfit and 50 lbs later I do love my leaner look and my muscles. I love feeling STRONG!

    Shameless flexer. Guilty as charged. Actually really should get some new flex selfies that reflect my latest *kitten*-kicking weight-lifting badassery.

    Couple of flexed pics I pulled from my profile (none taken 'with mah swole on').

    Unfortunately I will get in trouble if I post a pic of my hip to show my muscle definition there as people tend to report my pics, but here is one that should be ok that shows some definition - although it shows far less definition than usmcmp has.

    I may have more muscle definition than a lot of people like - and that is fine - everyone is 100% entitled to their preferences, however, you do not start lifting weights and suddenly get muscular.

    ^^^Nothing wrong here.

    Ok, so I spent some time playing with the camera at the gym today, I'm still no good at taking photos but here's what I got:

    8b68b6960a111d7aced3f3080c64b3c5938d.jpg

    I have no idea why, but the tendons through the neck fascinate me, I blame too much time in A&P
    8b68afaa8a6d409444914f7f58f12d5c9ae8.jpg

    My legs are pale and covered in bruises and veins, and not even the cool kind but I'm starting to see some definition!

    And a baby quad.

    I think the moral of the story: Don't give me a camera and an excuse to flex! :laugh:

    LOL, my husband will STILL claim he can't see my triceps when I flex :angry: .

    That's actually my second pair of shoes like that, I absolutely love them.

    I wanna join the club. I decided to take before and afters with lifting.

    Before lifting flex:

    After lifting flex:

    Haha this thread is great! I totally love flexing when I've got the after workout pump! My husband started exercising because he said I was so ripped he has to catch up.

    My husband says I wont get bulky so I do lift weights. But I just feel so confident in the gym and LOVE to watch myself in the mirrors sweat and workout...

    I like that you can see the difference from pre-workout to after. You normally don't see pics from the same day like this.

    I love the lines/cuts that form from lifting, great bicep!

    Love this post. Have to go shave my legs now so I can try posting a picture. LOL. I flex and just got my first ab muscle recently at least that I can see. Still have a lot to lose before I show that off. LOL. Just been doing machines, treadmills, and walking here. Just joined the gym last week and have no spotter.
