realgirlsliftheavyThis is a blog celebrating the strength in fitness and weightlifting, particularly in women. So many women have fears about the effects of weight lifting on their bodies, and they are missing an opportunity to be amazing.

About Me

My name is Paula Danielle. I am a recent graduate of Smith College and an amateur powerlifter! My favorite color is yellow, and I can't imagine a world without kittens. My goal is to inspire women with all different kinds of fitness aspirations to lift heavy and stay healthy.

Strong IS sexy

 

Zoe Smith is a beautiful, extremely talented young woman who has made her way to the Olympics for weight lifting. After some trashy comments made to Zoe on Twitter, she stood up for herself, saying:

“We don’t lift weights in order to look hot, especially for the likes of men like that,” Smith wrote. “What makes them think that we even want them to find us attractive? If you do, thanks very much, we’re flattered. But if you don’t, why do you really need to voice this opinion in the first place?

“Shall we stop weightlifting, amend our diet in order to completely get rid of our ‘manly’ muscles, and become housewives in the sheer hope that one day you will look more favorably upon us and we might actually have a shot with you?

“This may be shocking to you, but we actually would rather be attractive to people who aren’t closed-minded and ignorant. Crazy, eh?! We, as any woman with an ounce of self-confidence would, prefer our men to be confident enough in themselves to not feel emasculated by the fact that we aren’t weak and feeble.”

Why would she want a jerk to like her, anyway? I think that little boy forgets that she could power-clean his ass and throw it out the window.
