    I am hoping to be one of those women. I just downloaded the New rules for lifting for women and plan to incorporate those teachings into my gym routine.

    I want to see my muscles :smile:

    IMO, even female bodybuilders can look great if its balanced and not taken to the extreme!

    There is a husband and wife that work out at my gym the same time I do and I commend them for encouraging one another and he got her into free weights and to enjoy having strength as a woman.

    That is my situation! (except we're not married) I am soooo thankful that my bf got me into lifting when he did. At first I was a little afraid of getting overly big muscles, but once I tried it out, I was hooked! I loved seeing progress in strength and how I look.
    Now I probably want bigger/more defined muscles than I did when I first started out!!

    I recently talked my gf into coming to the gym to lift with me. Like yourself, and I think every other woman on the planet, she was nervous and didnt want to end looking like a dude. She is doing great and likes doing it way more than cardio now. It's nice getting or giving some encouragement from a loved one when you finish a set. Plus it makes the rest times seem so much shorter! YAY for strong women

    Love this and thank you. I could care less what others think but I think people that hate on others whether it be women with muscle or you think people below certain BF% look like crap; have deep insecurity issues and hash it out on others. Who cares what you personally think; is it so hard to just be supportive and uplifting to anyone wanting to better themselves?

    Get over it already. This attitude should have died years ago. Chicks with muscles are hot. And, more than that, if you don’t agree? Well, we really don’t care. See ya at the gym.
    Is this too long for a bumper sticker?

    This is a perfect opportunity to give an example of what's rude and what's just opinion.

    I wouldn't say she's taken to the extreme, but I wouldn't like to be that big personally. She obviously loves what she does though and works very hard to get there. More power to her!! :drinker:

    Generally, I find the negative comments come from men who are over 40, out of shape

    and know they have no shot in hell in my EVER noticing they exist :P

    I'm over 40...not jealous.
    I think women with muscles and take care of themselves is just friggin' HOTT!!
    Hopefully when I get in shape my ugly *kitten* meets me one!!! :love:

    I love the Failing but Fighting one, and Be Brave, too many to really choose though.

    Love the "Kick your own butt" one too! Definitely true for me, stuff I could be doing but am not!
    Never works that way for the gym though, I never feel like "I don't want to go to the gym today" it's far too much fun lifting!!

    Thank you for this post. All of my workouts involve some kind of weight lifting. I love feeling the muscles form and devolpe on my arms and legs. Yes, when i step on the scale i do notice the weight gain. but, when i put on my clothes i do notice the extra room. love free weights, kettlebells, and sandbags. and the guys at the gym are always nice and helpful. :)

    I'd rather see a well muscled woman than a nasty looking emo-boy.
