I sometimes feel like I'm on a mission to prove women are not going to look like the hulk by lifting or lifting "heavy" for that matter. I'm truly in love with lifting and I couldn't be happier with the results I'm seeing and I want to share that info and get other women to embrace weight training

It is sooo true that people are generally misinformed about women and weight training (just scroll through pages on this forum and you'll see, "I don't want to get bulky"). It's a long hard road to convince them otherwise!
Grocery bags, lugging around a vacuum, carrying a toddler all day - ALL weigh more than the pink dumbbells.
STEP AWAY FROM THE PINK DUMBBELLS!
