Keep going Emma-Lee, and remember that other women have trodden this path before you with success, even though it wasn’t always easy. Why not join my Women’s Strength Training Network on Facebook? You can always come there if you need support or a bit of a rant! http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/256741406956/

Thank you for this.

I must admit, I am pretty nervous about using the barbells with (reasonably) heavy weight in the gym at the moment. This is mainly because the free weights section of my gym is small and always seems really busy (i.e. full of blokes!). The culture there is that women use the machines and the small dumbbells in the “friendly” area, if they use weights at all. Or they go to Body Pump.

I’ve decided that these blokes can stick it if they’ve got issues with me being in “their area”.

It is my dream to get strong (and to be able to hold my own!!) and, although I’m not lifting small weight (I’m using mid-weight dumbbells) I know that I need to just do it. I guess it’s just the fear of failing in front of a load of blokes who can shoulder press what I’m using to squat!

Thank you for writing things like this post. It’s the kick in the arse I need!!

If you are bigger than your man you are not necessarily doing steroids. Your man may need to start training more and lifting heavier stuff, that’s all there is to it… Guys afraid of strong women are just weaklings.

Thanks, Sally! A real life group would be awesome. Somewhere where women of all ages and sizes with the desire to become strong and healthy could approach diet and lifting together, even if they’re going for different … ‘intensities.’
