@camo320 LMAO idk if that’s gonna happen anytime soon but I guess maybe a future goal to work towards as I grow up!!! I don’t know if I started too late but the idea of doing powerlifting as an adult is kind of looking appealing, I love weightlifting and I find myself in the gym 5-6 days a week...

@winlifeoc Hey, I calculated mine vs his on that calculator and I won 😂 that makes me feel much better lmao

@lfred12 HOLY CRAP that’s crazy strength. I will definitely be following her and I think I’ve found a new idol lol. Tysm!!!

@parentingpod Honestly I’m strongly considering that right now. We’ll see.

@constableparks This means a lot 😊 I’ve been struggling to try to lose weight for pretty much my entire (short) life thus far and I got into weightlifting as a suggestion from my dad because he said he thought I’d be good at it. Knowing that there’s other women who also lift who aren’t as thin...

@kmunson LOL, yes 😂 the comment made me cry at the time but in hindsight it’s hilarious

@hangingout LOL, thank you :) I think I’ll stand up for myself if he makes any rude comments again. This comment section has made me a lot more confident.

@eataylor Thank you so much hahaha! The squat is the only exercise that really ‘clicked’ for me. Something about the motion I just find easy. Bench, though— I started out barely able to do the bar.

@daveo Yes I am a teen lol… and thank you!

@akimbastark Awww thank you so much!!! I'm definitely going to keep lifting :) Trying to absorb that mindset that I should be happy with my own strength no matter what other people say.

@daveo He goes to my school, so I can actually answer this question. 200 squat, 130 bench, 250 deadlift and he weighs 140 pounds. It’s less about his skill level though and more just the fact that I’ve already had struggles with my weight before and I know him, so the comment made me cry

@littlepebble Honestly after some of my gym interactions I’m beginning to think that. Most of the adult men are polite to me or yield machines to me (which is super unnecessary and not something I expect btw, just them being nice) but teen guys can be generally rude. If I stand up for 2 seconds...

@truckerdan YES!! Thank you so much ❤️ I’ve read every comment and they’ve all warmed my heart, lol. I’m going to keep pushing to better myself but not because of that guy :)

@ulkon Oh, and btw— I’d love to learn oly lifts but they’re prohibited for teenagers at my gym because of liability issues :( Hopefully I can try eventually

@ulkon Thank you :) I really appreciate it!! And your suggestion of the 1/2/3 plate will probably be my next goal. Part of the reason I felt so driven to hit 225 on the squat was because I wanted to be able to say I can squat 2 plates XD

@ortho I don’t have issues with my physical build when it comes to squats so my feedback might not be helpful. That said, confidence really matters. I was stuck at a 102kg 1RM squat for a significant amount of time because I had several experiences where I really struggled or failed lower...

@srm332 LMAO I doubt it but thank you anyways :) I also row, so I started with a reasonable foundation as to build muscle, but also, genetics are on my side. My father could easily squat 400 lbs as a freshman in high school (and has some great videos to prove it lol)

Hello! Sorry if this post isn’t the right kind of post to be making as a stand-alone in this subreddit, I have never posted before. I’m a 5’7” 180 pound 16 year old female. I started working out at the beginning of this summer because I was looking for something to do. I heard a week ago about...
