Hi!! My name is Maxine and I want to be a bodybuilder
Somewhere in life I learned if you want something say it, believe it, really believe it. You don’t have to tell the world tell God, tell yourself, just say it aloud.
This evening I was watching TV looking for something to watch and there was an episode of made on. I love this show only because it pushes people outside of their comforts zones in order to be comfortable with themselves even if they don’t realize it. So, the trainer says to the girl " How can I support you when you are pissing and moaning something you want? You asked for this!" Now I am paraphrasing but, so damn true.
Some people won’t get where I am coming from but, I have heard it is ugly for women to lift weight, and that I should focus on cardio stay away from the weights. Instead of saying this is my PASSION this make me feel like a WOMAN and this is what drives me every single day. I sort of laugh it off and say oh no it is just something to do or haha no big deal I am just "training".
How can I expect anyone to stand behind me and support me when I behave as if I am ashamed of what I am doing as if because I am girl they should not take me seriously. It is no wonder I have no serious support behind my fitness goals. Well enough of that bulls*it. I will speak it and be proud of it remembering if I don’t believe in me no one else will.

you have spoken for me as well I’ve always admired the physical beauty of a well scalped body both male and female but thought it strange that “I” would want to look like that. Hey I’m a girl and girls are to look girly. So I kept the dream to myself. Happen to find this site and it’s like my world expanded beyond my wildest dream. So excited I was that I told everyone what I had planned to do and SMACK…the lips turned downward the eyebrows raised and the heads they began to nod…are you sure? So to appease the crowd I said well I just want to be tone…what ever that means. Then I up it to I want to compete as a Figure Model…then I could not suppress it any longer….dang it I want to be a bodybuilder not sure how it got in me but I have to get it out. Sorry if you don’t understand but what’s for me is for me. The crowd is a bit more accepting just a few scratch their heads but this one is not for everyone. This here is for me! Great success to you. BB to BB
