Lifting heavy vs. less weight/higher reps

[treilin]

I have found that I'm having an issue with dress shirts fitting lately. They are extremely tight around my upper arms. I think they think all girls are built with poles for arms. I fit into a small around my stomach and ribs area, a large through the shoulders and for my wide back, and hardly a medium now for my arms.... So what size does that make me... ODD.

I have this same problem.. i have a 25 or less inch waiste and my shoulder to shoulder span is 20 inches.., bicepts 13 inches.

I have had to altar my work attire to be fitted nice tops rather than dress tops..

Well at least I don't feel alone on this matter! We should develop a line of clothing just for women with muscle... We could call it 'BMWFMW' By Muscular Woman, For Muscular Women.

I'm looking at this skirt & top outfit I bought 2 weeks before my first BB show. The skirt is a size 4-6, the blouse is a 12. Go figure. I regularly have a problem with button up shirts because of the width of my shoulders & back. Occassionally I feel the urge to "HULKIFY"! (RRAAARRRRR .....rips out seams on the shoulders & back)

I can totally relate!!! I buy a 10 or a 12 in tops. I have this medium shirt on right now and feel like if I move the wrong way I'm going to be ripping out of it and I have a size 3/4 pants on. Funny... like I said our own clothing line.... That's what we need.

I admit i look like a club chick.. today in my corporate work place.. i had no choice.. nothing fits anymore!

Haaa do you have the CFMB (Come F*ck Me boots) on with the skirt ?
Yeah that gets guys attention... Also works well with promotion time... Mwahhhhhhaaa
Yeah I can't seem to find jeans to fit me at all. I wear a size 1/2 or 3/4 in a jean with a 33-34 inch length needed. I tell you I have a closet of high water jeans after you dry them they go even shorter... So I wear dress pants all the time.
