Amazing what it does for you both physically and psychologically.<br /><br />I've never done deadlifts, but may have to try it now.<br /><br />Interesting, I've been reading Laura Ingles Wilder's "Farmer Boy" to my son. At one point, Father picks up a 250 lb bale of hay "with ease."DrTorchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-4018903459351335012013-04-05T17:16:05.865-05:002013-04-05T17:16:05.865-05:00200 is a good pull for a girl!

I've known maybe 5 ladies over the years who pull close to 3 and still look like ladies. <br /><br />TonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-45972557824853218802013-04-05T07:30:40.269-05:002013-04-05T07:30:40.269-05:00I love deadlifting!

We've finally found a gym we like that has a great olympic lifting setup so as soon as my hip gets better I can get back to it!<br /><br />There's really nothing like moving heavy weights around to give yourself a euphoric high. Also, being strong feels awesome. Oddly though, being stronger has made me more appreciative of men helping me with physical tasks that are beyond my abilities.

Weights are so under rated when it comes to women's fitness, but I find that nothing gives you the beautiful lines and definition that you get from pumping iron. Cardio activities like running will burn off the fat, but it won't change your body shape like weights will.<br /><br />I don't powerlift, but years ago when I had a gig as a sports reporter I was assigned to follow a powerlifting couple who competed in natural competitions all over the U.S. The woman was probably 5'2" and 120 pounds but could deadlift over 200 and chest press close to that amount. She was in great shape and I thought it was cool that they had a hobby they could enjoy together.<br /><br />LiVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-81319692931144964732013-04-04T16:51:24.687-05:002013-04-04T16:51:24.687-05:00I wish I had a quicker wit for times like these, h...I wish I had a quicker wit for times like these, however, there will surely be a next time so I'll have to remember that retort.
