So many women want to lift weights without getting bulky, but how many of us here *do* want to lift weights and get bigger?

@ngbankhuen that video almost made me cry. haha damn that shit was inspirational

 

[tourist49]

@ngbankhuen That's a very good look!

@biblicalquality My inspo is Sue Lasmar

 

[laken22]

@rjfares Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!! Me too!!! Not only because she is sexy AF, but she's also my height!!! It's hard to find good looking fitness models that are taller for inspiration at least for me, maybe I'm picky..

 

[rjfares]

@laken22 She's tall? Idk anything, I just like looking at her pictures. I'm only 5'2" :'( :'(

 

[laken22]

@rjfares No no don't worry about that!! Now I feel bad lol. She's 5'8 apparently. Usually fitness models that I really like are anywhere from 5'1 to 5'6 tops so I was really excited by her - it's mostly because she has a lot of mass on her lower body but also has long legs and still looks proportional - I hardly see women around my height that look fuller like she does. Being shorter rocks though, I'm super jealous - it seems easier to put on mass and everything I feel lanky sometimes.. There's a reason why the perfect height is around 5'4...

@biblicalquality Right there with you, sister!

@biblicalquality Oooh, me, meeeee! If someone ever came up with a scientifically-backed program to be like the She-Hulk, I'd do it. I only worry about fat (as in higher body fat %). Otherwise, I'm not big on aesthetics and would be totes cool with extra muscle and super strength.

 

[martin50538]

@biblicalquality I want to be huge, I don't care what anyone else finds attractive. I like being stronger as we age it will help also. If "real men" don't like it, that's ok . I do.

 

[pitrell]

@martin50538 Oh shit yes this. "But men won't like it!" I don't want just any man, if I want a dude at all I want one that's into me for me, not because I tried to fit this idea of what dudes like.

 

[atodestroxia]

@biblicalquality I mean I want to be as strong as possible for my weight class and have no goals for my body, does that count?

 

[hansels]

@biblicalquality I want whatever my body changes to to beat my PRs (though I am also cutting to recomp all this body fat I have).

I also think MMA fighter Rin Nakai is super cute, one can be cute and have big muscles!

 

[jslivka]

@biblicalquality I follow both those girls on instagram, what inspirations! I personally just want to get stronger and bigger, I don't have a specific body goal in mind. Of course I wouldn't mind looking like them, but I'm OK if I never get there, either.

 

[calgarykate]

@biblicalquality Pick me!!! I just wanna be jacked AF!

 

[zzp]

@biblicalquality Meeeeeeee! This is basically my eventual goal:

I love my muscles, even if I get comments that I look "manly" or whatever. I don't care. I love being strong, and for the first time in my life I'm doing something physical where I can set goals, hit them, and that makes me incredibly happy.

 

[glorytogod01]

@zzp I'd take those comments as compliments of my hard work go big or go home

 

[deamy]

@zzp Mattie Rogers is bae.

 

[ebiojo]

@biblicalquality Yeeees, mee! Those women have such beautiful bodies. I'm don't think I'll ever make it there though, I just don't think I can commit to it, and I'm ok with that. What I really want for my body is for my gut to be flat and muscles that obviously show off my hard work.

When I first started committing to the gym I was more interested in the number on the scales. Now it's become more about the number I'm lifting. I find the eating side of it is really hard to get under control! But I LOVE that my body is getting stronger and harder. I would love to look like my own version of those women, not sure whether I'll get there or not but I really enjoy trying!

 

[joelfix]

@biblicalquality Fuck yeah. Specifically I want to be Arvebrink! Someday...
