This photo is a good example for all women who are afraid that lifting weights, even heavy, will make them lose their femininity. It also makes me wonder what is wrong with me and while my arms and shoulders are much more large i lift a lot less. 

Thanks. This is with a pump right after benching 105 again so I normally don’t have that big of a bicep. I’m been lifting medium to heavy consistently for 9 mo the now, 3x a week most weeks. Why would something be wrong with you?  

I have two friends who swear if they lift weights they’ll look like a man. One used to lift when younger (she’s early 50’s) and the other says she just knows by her current arm size (mid 50’s). Yes I seem to get along with people 10-20 years older than me more than those my age lol. I honestly believe both just don’t want to put in the time and effort. Both have been struggling with weight loss and dieting. One on keto for like a year and the other just having fruit and veggie smoothies (52 oz once a day) then binging when she stops. The first gains her weight back as soon as she stops keto but hits a plateau and can’t seem to drop weight at 1200 kcal but she has a sedentary job where she’s gone from home for weeks at a time. The second smoothie friend sits around on amazon all day and gets no exercise either. Wish I could help both of them but I can’t until they want to be helped.  

Loving this! 💪❤ 

I love that you lift! You are awesome and that arm looks great! 😍 

Thank you both!  

Pretty arm! 

😊 thanks
