Guest guest Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I nearly laughed in DH's face last night. I said I needed to get heavier dumbbells, and he grew concerned. " Aren't you going to develop too much muscle mass?? " Ha! He's seen many of the instructors I watch -- Cathe, Kathy , Chalene, etc. -- I asked him if he thought THEY were too musclebound -- " Well, no... " (But he did call Kathy " chunky. " ) And then I asked him if he had any idea what the real musclebound bodybuilding women have to go through to get that look. " Just lifting weights, isn't it? " Noooooooo! Then I pointed out that I am FAR away from being musclebound! I doubt if I could ever reach that point is I were trying! I'm still chuckling that he thinks *I* would get too musclebound! In my dreams... Indyrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Indy, to look like the women on Noel's website you have to pretty much take pharmaceuticals. As women we just don't have the testosterone to get that big otherwise. I love how men get all intimidated or weirded out by women with muscle, though. They fear strong women in general Historically men have always tried to put women " in their place " . Pshaw! I nearly laughed in DH's face last night.
