10 Dinge, die nur Frauen, die Kraftsport machen, verstehen

There are so many things that only strength athletes understand. This does not mean discussions about the correct grip position or the like. Women who have no relation to such training cannot explain the following important points to you, for example, because they cannot feel and describe them.

1. jackets that make you feel uncomfortable

Lat training is a good thing. Since you are a woman, you won't get big muscles. Still, you may feel that way if your jacket is too small or too body-hugging. Get one that fits comfortably at the torso and shoulders.

2. high protein diet vs. junk food

When you eat healthy, you may recognize the differences between what your body needs and what you like to eat. If you have a choice between a cream pie and a piece of chicken breast, when in doubt, always go for the meat.

3. rituals

You will find rituals in many places in your life. For strength athletes, this is especially true. Maybe you go to the gym at the same time every day, always start your program with the same warm-up exercise, and always prefer the same routines when you're on the floor. But that doesn't mean you're superstitious. It's really not that "serious". But don't you have some peculiarities you don't want to miss? Some people always use the same bench and are sometimes annoyed when it is occupied. Others put the backrests on the same level every time without being aware of it.

4. Arnold

You don't have to be a fan of his. But the way he trained and became successful commands respect from every woman and man. In addition, many appreciate his typical humor.

5. you have size xy and you do not have it after all

Your shapely waist is great, as long as you don't want to buy pants. Strong legs - especially of women - are rather unknown in the textile industry. Therefore, you will rarely find pants "off the rack" that fit you perfectly. So it's worth looking for an affordable tailor shop where you can have your pants custom made.

6. that exciting feeling of having found a delicious low carb dish.

It really is like winning a mini lottery over and over again. So it's understandable if you take pictures of your achievements and share them with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

7. bruises are surprising ... not

You'll never (or rarely) remember how you got them. Then, days later, when you're in the shower, your bruises stare right back at you. You already know this. While others are having a moment of shock, you're already searching your face for possible pimples.

8. your effort makes you a little bit arrogant

It's okay to admit it. Haven't you ever thought something like, "You guys enjoy your donuts. I just worked out hard and I look great." That's human. There are worse things.

9. every second thought revolves around your training

You wouldn't do that for anything else. You think about it when you leave the house in the morning or when you're out late at night. The thoughts come to you when you're driving home after work. Yes, you want to work out. So go ahead: just do it. Create a schedule that makes sense to you so that you always have the workout in mind as a fixed date.
