Body builders

I lift weights for about 90 minutes, twice a week, and I wish I had the time to do more. I don't run as much as I would like to. I love to run too.

I like the stigma that comes with being a "weightlifter chick".

 

i just love to punish my body..sore arm feels good!

 

you're a girl? woww.....it's hard to see chicks that into weights here (Malaysia)
they're afraid they'll get too big....lol....

anyway, i started to lift weights because im too skinny~made a pact with my self im gonna change my physique in 10 years

Hope you're eating in order to grow

 

haha...yeahh...im still trying to eat properly right now. Because i trained for about 1 year without taking care of my meals and.....i didn't grow

the main problem here as an Asian, our main meal consist mostly carbs and so little protein unlike you westerners

I don't know what I'd do w/o protein, I eats me as much protein as possible each and every day!

 

It's been my experience that it's not easy to get big. And I'm not trying to get big. I don't want to look like Grim. I just want hard, strong muscles. Not big ones.

 

Especially for woman
Even guys need to eat correctly and lift the right way in order to 'get big'

Believe it or not I do not lift for size! If I did I'd be much bigger, I lift in the middle for the most part.

 

I would say the vast majority of girls I know feel the same way about lifting. They don't want to get bulky, so they just do spinning or run on the treadmill. They might run with those little pink dumbbells. I've seen a few girls curling those little dumbbells, and they indicated that they were doing high reps of these little 1-3 lb. weights to "tone" their muscles. I hope they aren't getting advice from a pro, because all they are doing is wasting a lot of time. The few girls I know who do serious weight-lifting with real weights all have much better bodies than the girls who just do aerobics and the pink dumbbells. It's a myth that women will get bulky by doing heavy lifting. The female body just isn't made that way. The female bodybuilders in magazines with the bodies that disgust most people have a little secret: steroids and other drugs. The female body just doesn't get that way under normal circumstances. Women would be much better off if gyms would help educate people about heavy lifting and its benefits. Aside from being stronger and having stronger bones (something that should be important to all women over the age of 35), a full body workout with heavy weights (including squats, benchpresses, etc) will give you a better body than just running a couple miles on a treadmill every morning. You'll even be able to eat more without gaining volume as your body stores less fat.

 

This is my favorite bodybuilder-

What's with the brown socks? Is that the new bodybuilding trend?

I haven't been to the gym in a few years....

 

You and Tim would get along great!

 

not bad.....i just saw GRIM's back pictures...anybody want to post their pics yet?


Chow

 

No.

I'm off to the gym now. My trainer is starting me on a new program today. I don't know whether to be excited or scared!

 

I have lifting weights for over two years. OP, you can ask me anything about bodybuilding (except Steroids of course which I don't use) if you have some questions. Moreover, bodybuilding.com and t-nation.com are both good bodybuilding sites.

 

Just done my first 2 miles! phew
