I found this great inspirational site about women and weight lifting. http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/

It debunks some myths of weight lifting and people. Two big ones are that lifting weights will make women bulky and the second of which is that women should train with low weights and high repetitions.

I've been motivated to join the YMCA. I am starting to weight lift and I love it. I am still weak, but I am looking forward to one day squating my bodyweight and doing weighted chin ups.

Right now I can squat 20 pounds for 2 reps before failure. I know I am getting stronger. At first I could only do 5 squats with only my bodyweight before failure.

This is fun. I can't wait to gain muscle, lose fat and be strong and fit.

Any other women weight lifters? Or men? (PM me LOL)
