Say what you want but lifting as a girl is badass.

[redone]

“Aren’t your afraid of getting bulky” that’s...that’s the point

[mesfromusa]

Respect to all the women who lift (and pull).

[KZ-mxon]

I hate that question “aren’t you worried about getting bulky?” 🙄

[annabelle__rose]

Question: Why are some women worried about having muscles? In my personal opinion, I believe my muscles show strength and perseverance. But that's just me- is it something about being ladylike?

[edn]

What am I doing here? I have trouble lifting a ten pound weight lol

[maxkukzanova]

Person :Aren't you afraid of being bulky ?
Me: .... That's the point of being a bodybuilder...

When you don’t lift or exercise but your still hungry all the time

[Bellachris]

OMG the bruises!!! People always think they are hickies

[SmoochBoosh]

I admire girls that lift SOOOO much. Its just not my thing but I REALLY wish it was.

[lilycatley]

I don't lift but my shoulders make me look like a quarter-back. thanks for the great genetics dad

I can't be the only one who was worried that her wrists were about to break.

All Buzzfeed videos comment sections have become feminist vs non-feminist. When did this happen and why wont it die?!?

[olivetatara]

"Aren't you afraid of getting bulky?" I want to get bulky and have muscles, I like feeling strong

[themasterkey]

This goes the same for guys pretty much. Mad props to all the lady lifters out there!
On another note: Oh god I fucking hate it when girls say they don't want to lift weights b/c they'l end up looking like a man. So they proceed to run on the treadmill for an hour every day for 5 days a week... Ladies, you don't get big like men. You'd need more testosterone to do that and you do not naturally make enough of it. Lift heavy and lift often, it'l make you look a whole lot better and help you achieve your goals better compared to a fucking treadmill or elliptical.

"The day after leg day."
WhY yOu wAlK So SlOw I tHoUgHt YoU wOrK Out.
*pain*
Sitting down for long periods of time hurts
Standing up for long periods of time hurts
*Pain*
Hungry and tired for absolutely no reason
*did I metion pain?*

And when you get bulky, you get self conscious, but then people wish they had muscles like you.

[doki]

Why do women avoid lifting and think that they might get bulky? Ladies Please, we don 't have that much testosterone to have the capability to grow big like men, lifting will only make you leaner and fit and those muscles help shape up your body and helps keep your body burning cuz the more muscle the faster your metabolism is and lifting can also help you gain strenght and endurance. So change your perspective about lifting.

This also applies to girl/woman who exercise.
Ever since I started running, my thighs have grown, and since I swim, my shoulders are like a straight board.

My tip.
Elastic/Expandable skinny jeans
Over sized clothes. They look good, and your neckline isn't that low anymore.
Also, oversized clothes make you look smaller.

[ryn]

The "stop caring about number on the scale" this is so true. I'm heavy and bulky so the scale is horrifying

Also why do you throw the bells? Bringing them back down is half the workout 🙄
