I was a serious athlete fro age 12 onward, swimming then crew. I had enormous quads, the kind that won’t fit in jeans, for a decade. My back was ripped. God, I loved that body. Never kept me from dating, but I would have chosen my sport over boys any day. I stopped rowing seriously in my 20’s and I’m now late 40’s. I don’t work out much and I’m soft and squishy. BUT - there is some echo or memory of strength in there. I don’t know if it’s the actual muscle still remembers, or that I simply have confidence that my body can do hard things, but I continue to be able to lift heavy things and move my body. That is so important as we age. My mom, who has an identical body type, always feared “lifting” and her middle age and now old age is more limited than I hope mine will be due to strength and mobility. So grateful to my teen athlete self!

Exactly! I only wish it was possible to train hard for a few years and permanently “change” your body so you’re fit and muscular FOREVER! Sounds awesome!!!

Is this a troll post? It must be.

We do a ton of things wrong in this country but one RIGHT is that female athletes can train just as hard as male and we are culturally quite accepting of that. I love that my girls can play just as many sports as the boys, which is not the case in some countries.

Proud of these female athletes. And those ripped ones sound like role models to me, OP!!

Healthy bodies are designed to move safely. Why would you see strength as anything but positive? These girls are building strong bone density that will last them a lifetime. They are dramatically decreasing the likelihood of injury during play. And they are developing lifelong habits of discipline, focus, perseverance, and commitment to health.

I can’t believe people still think this way about girls in 2021. Unreal.

Oh, bull. Your entire screed is only because you make money off this racket "industry" of turning teen girls into brutes. Girls are not "designed" to load up on protein, creatine, and whatever other supplements, and train 365 days a year to turn their bodies into men. All so they can win maybe some stupid regional tournament nobody cares about a week after it happened or get an "offer" to play in front of 13 people at some podunk college. What's disgusting is this industry and all the rackets like yours who profit off it. Being a sporty girl is fine and healthy, turning girls into masculine freaks en masse is disturbing.

Weighlifter dude here. This is a troll. No real person is this stupid.

Real people know that strong athletic girls are enormously attractive to 21 century heterosexual men (and lesbian/bi women).

OP, sorry to tell you, but nobody finds soft, flabby bodies that attractive (or skinny-fat bodies). Deal with it.

This is more bull****. Healthy? All these over-trained masculine girls end up washed up former athletes by age 18 or 22 y/o with broken bodies; bad knees, bad ankle, bad shoulder, mangled feet, surgery scars.

if there is one thing that will send any guy running, it's seeing a woman with an ACL scar.

Correct. The scar clashes with their micropeen.

The man's micropeen of course. They just feel too small next to the strong woman's surgery scars.

First, I volunteer ALL my time coaching high school teams.
Second, I would never suggest a high school athlete load creatine or any other supplement.
Third, there is nothing unhealthy about protein powder.

I charge adult clients for personal training. I make money teaching group fitness classes. My work with high school athletes is done purely for the love of health and fitness. Ask yourself why this makes you so angry? Are you overweight? Unhealthy? You can improve your health - both physical and mental.

You are gross and so very wrong. The fact that you don't like strong women says more about you than them.

I'm muscular, and have been since I was a kid. During puberty and after I still developed. have an hour glass figure, big boobs, and a good butt and legs. Ive never had issues with guys or anyone thinking I'm not attractive because of my muscles. Only downside has been there are specific brands of boots that don't work for me
