What is one thing you love about Bodybuilding?

[Aldonza]

I like that I *fit*. For most of my life I didn't feel like one of the girls. I'd rather climb trees or catch frogs than twirl around in dresses. Then exercise for women was all about high-impact, hopping around in a leotard, or spending hours on a bike. Weights were pink and light and lifted enough times to make anyone mad with boredom.

Yuck.

Then I picked up a real weight. And then another. I haven't looked back.

I got a fist pound from a random guy at the gym who said I was doing the same weight for SLDLs as he uses, and that it made him feel like a pussy (he wasn't a twink, not a BBer either, but in pretty good shape). Love. That. Shit.
