"Hazards" of women + weights

http://www.geasports.com/images/gal2/gea_2.html

Ms. Gea Johnson, an Olympic weightlifter, bobsledder, and heptathlete, proves that lifting heavy is possibly the best method for achieving any physique goal you may have. If, after checking out some of her pictures, you still think women can only get "all man-ish and bulky" you've got other issues.

 

:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

And that's all I have to say about that.

 

... what hazards??

I have a physique to strive for ... thanks alot BeWaterMyFriend --- I now have to increase my weight for today's workout!

 

AMEN!!!

Im in Lurve wit dat purdy ladyyyyy

 

Not necessarily. Just do whatever you were going to do, but start off with 3 sets of overhead squats. We'll call it even.

 

Sweeeeeeeet!

She is hot. She can probably lift more weight than me though :cry:

 

Insecure men everywhere are likely cursing your name as we speak.

...even though I'm not saying anything... just typing... hrm....

PL

 

Wow, she looks great doesn't she? Love the picture 5 with all the guys looking at her holding the barbell.

 

When I suggested such a program to the female members of the gym I currently attend, they looked at me like I some crazy dude. :bang:

 

Is it just me or do the plates in some of thoes pics look really thin?

 

.....whoah..............
(~sigh.... :looks at measly barbels in hand - two pounders - : )

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

They look like powerlifting plates which are deceptively thin.

 

They look thin, but if you look closely the ones in pic 9 say 15kg, so shes got 60kg on there + bar, which aint bad for a man let alone a woman. But even if those weights are small, she's forgiven lol

 

I think some of you are missing the point of this thread. If all you've gotten out of this is how thin the plates are, you totally missed the point.

 

oh no, believe me, I got it

 

What's your point?
The dude who started the thread said that the best way to make gains was to lift heavy. It was observed that the weight may or may not be that heavy. I think that has everything to do with the "point" of the thread.

 

Well, if you see the diameter of those plates...

A kilogram of steel occupies less volume than a kilogram of rice. But they still weigh the same.

 

Is that assuming most plates are made of rice?

 

If that's a joke its not funny.

Dude, I'm just trying to describe the difference in size of two different things but still have the same weight.

The last time I looked, I tipped the scale at 175 pounds. A barbell loaded with the same weight will occupy less space than I do.
