what some men still think-

The guy I've been dating refuses to take me on in a chin-up challenge. He's afraid I'll kick his ass. LOL!

How many can you do?

 

[chesty]

How many can you do?

I can do between 30 and 40 (at 230lbs)

with a 405lbs bench at 217lbs I was about 1.86 pounds per pound of body weight. I'll bet there are plenty of women out there that can out do that

Dl I was 315lbs at 217lbs which is about 1.45 lb per pound of body weight

Squats sucked at 465lbs at 217lbs which is only 2.14lbs per pound of body weight.

I know one person, can't remember which lift, but at 135 a 290 dl or squat equats to 2.15lbs per pound of body weight. Got me beat.

That too me is awesome! and I am by not the strongest around...

keep it up ladies!

Well I need to find me some females like you!!! usually I get stuck with barbies that hate to work out but spend the whole day in the malllol!!!!. But I seriously think that some guys do get intimidated by women with great amount of muscle mass. Specially smaller guys but I do prefer a fitness model or an athlete looking female then a skinny model in mags!!!

that ain't all guys my training partner is a guy and I do the exact same work out as him. I just can't lift as heavy as him.

Thing is:

If you lift like him (using the same exercises, rep range), you are going to look more and more like him.

What I hate is when people find you workout and ask if you run, so I say well no I lift weights and get the OH REALLY!

Or what is better when people ask me how much I weigh and I tell them 113 and they literally do not believe me. In a sweater and jeans I look like I am small and skinny with no muscle but am really pretty cut. They can't see that so assume I am lying. Why would I say I weigh more than I do? Oh that's right I must have an eating disorder and am trying to hide it, hey I do eat "wierd" acording to them. I get this so much and it makes me mad enough to keep up what I am doing and just hope that I see them in the gym one day!!!

I love being a strong girl inside and out!!!

Me too!! It is nice to be able to carry stuff yourself -- heavy things like rolls of carpeting, wood, drywall, etc without help cuz it can be a pain to have to sit & wait for help from someone....

Where do you guys all train??!! My gym has all of the most supportive men ever. They are all impressed by any gains you make and most will comment to you right to your face that you look great and tell you what body parts they thought you did a great job bringing up. My gym is awesome, it's called Hardcore.... lots of competitors, probably half the gym. Everyone there is awesome, it's like Cheers, except a gym not a bar and there's no fat dudes like Norm.

Anyways, there's no top freaking 40 playin at my gym just hardcore metal and alot of weights to go with it, maybe half the gym is weights, the other half is machines, and then like 15 cardio machines. My gym RULES.

Sorry for all your girls' unfortunate luck.
