    This should be pinned so any females that are afraid of strength training can see real life benefits of it.

    Congrats, you look stunning.

    THIS!!

    You look fabulous girl, that's very inspiring!!

    I also love what lifting has done to my body. I feel better than ever and more confident than I've ever been!
    Ditched the cardio and started lifting = lost body fat almost immediately. Plus, I get to eat. A LOT! What's not to love? :-)

    Right now I'm doing New Rules of Lifting for Women, so I'm lifting 3 times a week. I also rock climb once a week and do some HIIT once or twice a week. I also try to get in 30-45 minutes of Yoga in at least once a week, I'm really trying to work on my flexibility and balance.

    I've got 150kg of weight plates at home for my barbells and dumbbells, but I'm going to have to get more plates or join a gym, because I'm running out of weights quickly.

    Deadlifts are my all time favorite exercise, followed closely by pull-ups.

    And thanks for all the compliments, I was pretty nervous to post this actually, but all you guys totally made me smile. I never thought of myself being inspiring to anyone before :) I posted this because I wanted to show that lifting weights won't make you "bulky" or "manly" looking. There's definitely nothing to be afraid of.

    I have seen this thread linked in at least three other threads as an example of how heavy lifting can make you hawt rather than bulky :bigsmile:

    And this is why i love girls lifting. Thumbs up.

    Amen...lol.
    Looking amazing.. Please tell us what you do and with what size weight you use.

    The amount of weight is irrelevant...its how heavy the weight YOU lift is, compared to YOUR strength that gets you results. I believe in the 5x5 format for lifting...but any heavy weight program will do.

    JUST GET OUT THERE...AND LIFT!

    Very cool! you look great! I am still too intimidated to try any real lifting...you couldn't get me down on the floor where all the heavy weights are at my gym! But I can still benefit from the regular weight machines that they have upstairs because I have barely any upper body strength at the moment! Good for you though, you look really good!

    bumpsies because you deserve it - can you imagine telling someone they can GAIN 10 lbs and look like that :love:

    Honeysprinkle - you don't need to go to the really heavy weights right away but go pick up some dumbbells from the rack and sneak into other room. You'll get more beenfit from dumbbells than you will from isolation machines and the ones in the sizes you'll want to get (8s, 10s, 12s, 15s if you are just starting) are not going to be jeopardized or in use

    Thats why I have always lifted heavy. Besides, whats wrong with getting a few world records while you are at it! When I am at my goal weight I hope to look like you! :D

    OMG that's disgusting! Look at how "bulky" you are! You must be on steroids....................................................yep this is what many females think of when mentioning HEAVY WEIGHT LIFTING to change up their LIGHT WEIGHT routine. And of course you (and many others here) are disproving it.

    Nothing like heavy lifting!!! I have all my female clients do it!!!

    I do about 10-20 minutes of HIIT 2 or 3 times a week and that's about it. I'm a big fan of Bodyrock.tv and I try to do their workouts at least twice per week.
