Just found this as I was browsing aimlessly. Arnold says it how it is and as English as a second language he speaks quite eloquently.

More women should be lifting heavy weights. It is the best way to get a slim and toned sexy body.

The sad thing is that most women are dumb about weight-lifting. They have the idea that if they do a few shoulder presses they will end up looking like Hulk Hogan. They don't realise that it is impossible for a girl (or even a guy) to look like that - unless they are lifting wieghts ten hours a week and taking steroids.

ChickenTuna (who has the best ass in the world - despite being 44 years old) is always banging on about this. And how more women need to learn that heavy weights are their friend and not their enemy.

Ever see ChickenTuna's face?

[cardguy]

I think her face is pretty good for a chick in her forties.





But it is not spectacular in the way her ass is.

Women tend to discover the gym after they discover they've hit the wall.

What an interesting tumblr..

It's either quotes or pictures of her. She uses tumblr as an actual blog, not so much as a repository of cool 3rd party images to be shared by like minded individuals.

I find ChickenTuna a bit of an inspiration. She seems like a really cool person.

She mentioned once that she has watched an exercise DVD she has bought about 5,000 times. Probably the first time in history that somebody bought an exercise DVD and actually stuck with it until it had a chance to work.

She also says that she hates exercise - she just enjoys the results it gives her. And she looks at exercise (and healthy eating) as a price you simply have to pay to get the results. Also - she mentions that once you have spent years devoted to it - your motivation to stick at it increases greatly. Since any let-up would mean all those previous years of hard work would be wasted.

Also - this isn't a chick who 'hit the wall' and decided to get fit. This is a chick who was never that hot to begin with.



The chick is now 46 and she still has people on the internet convinced her pictures are photoshopped. Like I say an inspiration all round. I first heard about her on this forum.

I'll give any chick some credit for working hard to achieve something.
It beats the victim and entitlement attitude most women have.

Although you can't really see her face in the before pic, notice how she maximized everything for an overall hot effect.

She looks younger at 44 than when she was 21yo. At least in that pic.

Have a look at Bret Contreras' blog and youtube channel. Plenty of hot girls (usually bikini competitors or fitness trainers) who train with heavy weights. e.g these two who trained for a powerlifting comp last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvbz6cjbx6Y

I often forward videos of Bret's girls to chicks who think they'll get huge from lifting weights, and that they should stick to light weights high reps.

If in the right mood, sometimes I'd tell them they only get huge from lifting light stuff like spoons, forks and plates repeatedly, not heavy iron bars.

A gym owner I know would get fat girls checking out his heavy weight facility from time to time. He's rather selective (can afford to) about his clients, so when one of them fatties inevitably tells him they don't want to lift heavy weights as it'd make them huge, he'd ask straight back what heavy weights have they been lifting? About 2 out 10 storm off immediately calling him an arsehole, the other 7 take a few mins to get the joke then storm off, and the 1 girl would laugh, stick around and eventually get fit.

The problem for most chicks is a total lack of willpower in both exercise and diet. It's impossible to bullshit your way through a hard workout. No amount of whining or passing the buck off to someone else can do it. You've got to have the willpower and discipline to go through that pain yourself, every single time. That's just beyond most women these days. Then you also must factor in the discipline to stick to a healthy diet, which is even more difficult for them. That's why ultra-hardbodies like this Tuna chick are so rare. She looks fucking incredible though, hats off to her.
