[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads always amuse me.  I think women use them as an excuse not to do strength training.

The truth is that it takes a lot to get "ripped" (as in the top line of that thing above).  But women use the "men don't like ripped women" as an excuse to not build any strength.

It takes a lot of strength training just to get toned.  And I don't care how many anonymous people post on here -- all of the men I've ever been attracted to have preferred toned women over flabby women.  You can be toned and still be feminine.  And suggestion otherwise is bonk.

I'm not by any means "ripped," but I love doing strength training.  I love having muscles and feeling strong.  And I don't think it makes me any less feminine.  If a guy doesn't find that attractive, then he's not the guy for me.

My husband seems pleased with my body.  And he definitely seems even more pleased since I've added more strength training to my exercise regimen.  [/quote]

+1 million.  Seriously.  People are afraid that if they pick up a barbell they are going to get super jacked.  IT takes a LOT of work to get that way.

Stay soft and watch your metabolism plummet and osteoporosis set in.

My friends who lift and are in great shape had zero problems attracting men. [/quote]

+1000000 I strenght train 3x a week I love having some muscle definition. Women need to understand if you lift weights it will not make you look like a man it will give you curves, life your ass, define your waist line make you look and feel better. It would take a lot for a woman to become hard and ripped. My DH was the one who got me into strenght training and I love it.[/quote]

This.  I also lift heavy a lot.  To look at me, you'd have no idea how strong I am.  In my late thirties, I get more attention that I ever did in my twenties before I was lifting.  I don't do it for that though: I do it because I love feeling strong.[/quote]
