ooh im a woman and i have muscles..... what kind...
why are so many people so freaked out about women who want to lift weights and build muscle tone?
no, surprisingly enough, we dont usually want to look like arnie, or pull a truck, or arm wrestle a gorilla.
we want to be proud of the work we put into ourselves.
