It’s time. Ladies (and gentlemen), let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
You lift.
By now you may have started to notice changes in your body…and yes, your clothes fit differently now.
Yes we did this to you…and no we’re not sorry. Here’s 5 reasons why we’re not:
1. Your hands. Yes, you will develop callouses. God forbid your hands don’t look as smooth as a baby’s butt. Get over it. Those hands do a lot of work. Be proud of those calloused badges of honor and what you can now accomplish with them.
2. Your lats. Yes, dress shirts fit tighter, and it becomes increasingly difficult to remove your own sweaty sportsbra from around your musculature. Your upper body is now resembling more of that perfect V shape, in turn causing your waist to appear smaller and smaller.
3. Your thighs. You don’t have “thighs”. You may now remove that word from your vocabulary. You have quads and hamstrings…and yes, ladies, you look fantastic in yoga pants.
*Boys, now that you’re working on more than just those bi’s and tri’s, you may split your pants. I’ve seen it. Twice. [Cough cough, Patrick & Heavey.]
4. Your stomach. You have definition and you have a core. You may eventually have a six pack as awesome as Brooke’s. That core not only helps you pick up heavy things, but it protects your body from future injuries when you’re old and grey. And as an added bonus, if you’re ever short on cash, you can open up your own personal laundering facility on that washboard.
5. …That backside. It’s gone from blah to BOOM. Bounce a quarter off that puppy, ‘cuz you now have glutes (chime the Baby Got Back chorus).
Your shirts fit tighter, your waist is smaller, you fill out the backside of your pants very nicely, but most importantly, you look amazing in your birthday suit.
You are not normal. You are an athlete. Embrace these changes, and that fantastic ass.
