My grandma lifted one weight and now she's my dad.

[thewadsquad]

The people who say this have no idea how hard it is to put on muscle. 💀

[AMn-tf]

As a woman with 20 years of gym experience I can’t believe there’s anyone that still thinks that’ll happen

[theeclecticecclesia]

Mike's straight face during the first part of this threw me for a loop and then he kept going and my brain was like "Oh he's being facetious." 😂

[finkiusmaximus]

My grandmother made a commitment to get in shape later in life. At the age of 70, she started walking five miles a day. Now she's 93, and we have no clue where she is.

My wife accidentally picked up one of my weights to move them around.
She is now just a single massive bicep.

[Ladymusicc]

I love his sarcasm. I've watched him enough to know his stories and man, I'm here for them.

"Women been turning to arnold zwarzenegger at an alarming rate" lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

[hannahferolie-ragin]

My grandma has been weight training for most of her life. The muscle she had built up, recently saved her life.

[dawgsoutfree]

Basically he’s saying: Lift that weight sis

[SickbeanDreamer]

“With cannons, the real guns didn’t work at that point” WHAT💀💀

[Ashweee]

I actually REALLY like this guy. He's funny and well-spoken. Doctor Mike always has the best interviewees.

[ireaperslegend]

“The FBI had to put her down” is hilarious 😂

[acd_bth]

My mom does light power lifting and trains in the gym and it’s genuinely impressive for a near 50 year old woman, she has better muscle definition than I think I’ll ever have!

[achour.falestine]

I hate it when i pick up a dumbbell and accidentally become a two times mr Olympia world champion

[nykkiross]

Weight training is also SO important for maintaining bone density as we age - especially for women

[marykent]

I was a female bodybuilder in the 80's. You know, when anorexia was the measure of feminine beauty. A LOT of people did not like it, and told me about it. However, I am now in my 60's and quite healthy. I tell younger women that every bit of muscle they can put on before menopause is like money in the bank.

[Mr-snni]

I remember working at the gym when there was a woman who kept asking for workout programs. However, she would complain that she didn't want a particular program because she was afraid of becoming a bodybuilder. After listening to her for over an hour, I looked her in the eye and said, "You don’t need to worry about that; you lack the dedication and drive to ever become one."

[hoolialynn]

My late mom was a phys-ed teacher and was part of a ladies' work-out group for faculty. They called themselves "ladies in weighting."

[josephthomas]

I would go to a community college library to rent a book, but what if I accidentally leave with a masters degree! 😫
