Had an encounter with a woman at the gym today. While I was in the pool swimming some laps, there was a lady who was doing some water aerobics instructing. Her body was definitely built from something other than water aerobics. She was an older lady but it was hard to say how old because I think women with fit bodies tend to look younger than they are. She had some definite cut muscles on her legs, a flat stomach and just enough upper body development to show without flexing. she wasn’t bodybuilder type muscle but definitely weight trained . Tried not to stare but she was right in front of me.
> Really fucking humbling moment at the gym today for me. I was by the free weights doing some shoulder presses (seated), working with 15lbs. This lady comes next to me and she’s seriously jacked. Huge shoulders, for arms, and muscular chest. She gets the 35lbs and started pressing them like NOTHING. After she leaves I grab the weights..just to give it a try and I almost break my arm lol. No joke.
Alright this has to be fantasy. Or she was warming up and you’re literally 87 lbs. My wife who is somewhat muscular and athletic, definitely not “seriously jacked” can fairly easily shoulder press 35s. She probably presses 45s for reps so a “seriously jacked” woman would be pressing significant more unless she’s just warming up. I’ll never put anyone down in the gym but like I said, unless you’re 87 lbs and 4 feet tall, 15 lbs shouldn’t be a problem for you at all even if you are just starting out.
I'll just say... this isn't SO crazy.
I'm male, 200lb, been lifting for 15 years. I'd say pretty jacked and strong. I dabble in PED use. I usually do 45lb per hand for military shoulder press. I do it slowly and eccentric focus, and I can do about 12 disciplined reps. If I did it sloppy, maybe I could handle 60lb or even 65lb for a max, but I have a lot of size, quite a lot of training history, I'm male, and I'm not natural.
I train at Golds in Venice Beach, and I'd say we have more jacked women than anywhere else. It's super rare for me to ever see a woman train with more than 30lb. Quite a few are doing 15 and 20.
At a normal gym, like a Planet Fitness, I think a woman tossing around 35lb DB's on that movement would be really unusual and impressive.

Interesting. Yeah I mean I don’t totally disbelieve him, but there’s so much of that writing up a fantasy trying to pass if off at true in these forums that sometimes you have to call it out a little. And I’m definitely not one to put anyone down for going to the gym. Start as light as you need, etc. just great to see someone working at it even if they are out of shape or whatever. The numbers just don’t seem right at all. Even your numbers seem kinda odd. 200 lbs and on and off PEDs and only 65s? Not saying that’s bad at all. It just seems very light. Im definitely a form type of guy, but to grow you obviously need progressive overload and all that so anyway, I’m 5’11”, 185 right now and just athletic. Definitely not jacked and not even as big as I was a couple years ago and I dumbbell press 70s. Well I’ll say 65s for 8-10 with good form. It just seems a little off to me. Eh guess it doesn’t really matter. I do get annoyed though when people in here try to make up a wild fantasy and post it in a “true” section. Exaggerating or embellishing a little bit, sure. But a lot of stories are just wildly made up.
When I was at the grocery store self-check out tonight I saw a woman with absolutely massive glutes and legs wearing black yoga pants. She must have been able to squat 350 Lbs for a triple. The only comparison was when I once saw Megan Scanlon in jeans. This woman's legs looked just as powerful and huge! Unfortunately she had a fleece on that covered her upper body, but it appeared to be of normal proportions.
I used to go to classes from a personnal trainer who is on this website. Even after her giving birth she was a piece of work. There is another one on this website few blocks away from my place. But she isnt single, and just by looking at her pics i would faint irl.
Now this is one encounter I can believe is real unlike the rest here.

Yeah I dont get the bs from some people here... another more or less encounter was during my highschool days. I used to hang out with a girl who was a firefighter, and I was nagging her with that. I kid you not she could throw anybody to the other side of the yard. She changed school in the end of the year and I didnt get any contact with her after that. It was before everybody had internet and mobile phones. Too bad since she was a very nice person.

Wait a girl in high school that was a firefighter. You messed up your story with that misstep.
I'm a nurse who works on a medical surgical floor. One night, we had a patient who was crashing so we call a rapid response. As soon as the rapid response team came, the patient went unresponsive and we had to start CPR. One of the nurses on the team quickly took her jacket off and started chest compressions on the patient. The first thing I noticed about the nurse when she took her jacket off was her arms. She had about 15 inch arms, delts and biceps popping out of both scrubs. As she was doing these compressions, veins were flowing through her forearms. The team switched turns doing CPR and we eventually got the patient back. After the code, we had a debriefing with the rapid response team. I came up to her and jokingly said "dang, you literally brought that guy back to life with those guns you got there." She laughed and flexed, both arms pumped, bicep and forearm veins still visible. We talked for a bit afterwards, asked her about her training and she told me she does figure competitions. I only saw her around the hospital once after that but that one encounter will always stick out to me.
I rarely get to go to the farmer's market but, every time I do get to go to the farmer's market, I see muscular female legs, muscular female legs, and more and more and more muscular female legs. Muscular female legs as far as the eye can see, I am surrounded by muscular female legs.

With the unfortunate, abominable exception of today. Yo no se que chingada lo paso esta maniana but, aside from a singular Fijian girl with the rock-hard, Chun-Li-like legs which just drive me absolutely insane, today was a complete disaster. I pray to Christ today is not the pattern of what's to come in subsequent trips to this destination of mine.

You alright there buddy? Meds haven’t run out?

We are watching a man's descent into madness in real time. This reads like a Hunter S. Thompson fever dream.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm over it now but, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very, very disappointed at the time. You'd be disappointed, too, if you had been in my position. This farmer's market is usually a magnet for sexy, muscular, Chun-Li-like legs. Pero ayer no!
Ok in my region the farmers market only has grannies. and when women under 60 do show up they are wearing pants .because it's ice cold most of the time. But i haven't gone there for a long time because they close early.
The farmer's market I go to usually attracts a lot of hardcore, weight-lifting MILFs and just as many younger, iron-pumping gym ladies. Don't ask me why this place attracts so many fine ass sexy females but yesterday, it was if aliens had abducted all of them except one.
Perhaps an evil spell has been cast upon the place or something. I don't know what to tell you.
The baked goods and the coffee remain just as awesome as ever, though. So, at least there's that.

How about some footage, share the wealth 👍
I was driving for Uber about 5 years ago and I picked up Diana Schnaidt at the airport. As I pulled my car up I saw her standing with her bags at the curb and immediately my eyes bulged. She was JACKED, and wearing a sleeveless shirt and gym shorts. I stepped out of the car and composed myself. The airport had Uber restrictions at the time and it was rumored that drivers could be ticketed, so I always made a habit of asking passengers to sit in the front seat, to make it look like I was a friend picking up a friend at the airport, rather than having them sit in the back seat where it would look like I was driving for a living.
I settled into a conversation with her as I drove her to her home, which turned out to be about 20 minutes away. I told her I was a fan of bodybuilding, and by the time the ride was over she knew I was a total schmoe. I went home and fantasized about her right after that ride, and I've had many, many more fantasies about her since then.
You sniffed the seat, didn't you! 😆
Nah, there's plenty of lighter ones. They go in 2.5 increments from 2.5 all the way to 25 lbs usually.
But who knows... The guy might be a small dude like those guys on the HerBiceps videos.
