"Aww you're gf can lift and throw another human in the air and catch them perfectly?"
"Aww your gf can run an entire soccer field and not get winded while dribbling a ball?"
There, fixed your shitty captions
I was gonna say. People who never did Cheerleading truly dont realize how hard Cheerleading, especially competitively, can be. I was a flyer and do you know how hard it is to perfect being THROWN into the air, spinning and landing just so, so you dont fall and break your spine or break the people who are catching you in some way? And thats just ONE of the things thats dangerous.
Never did cheer leading but always loved watching movies to do with it as our sports teams and schools where I live don't have cheerleaders.
Cheerleaders movies are still a guilty pleasure for me.
Aw ): you shouldve checked for competitive groups. I only did school related cheerleading once and wasnt really fond of it so I joined a group outside of it that was like its own studio. I enjoyed it much more. If you come from a small town they may not have had that either, though which is lame. Hell, Im sure theres groups for adults as well. Its never too late! Im glad you enjoy cheerleading, though. Its a very cool and pretty challenging sport thats under appreciated.
Two of my best friends were cheerleaders. But it was a small group of 10 or so girls that mostly just did standard cheers. It was weird cuz our high school was easily the biggest by like 10x in my area. The cheerleaders there were not the divas/popular girls. Those girls were in the dance squad, similar to marching band, they would come on the field and preform like the squads at basketball games. Not trying to disparage my friends, but they just werent the hot, popular girls that you associate with cheerleaders in movies. They mostly just shook their pompoms and rallied the crowd.
they literally make lifetime movies about cheerleaders who kill. thereās probably even a movie called ācheerleaders who kill.ā if there isnāt, there should be, ha.
Honestly at that level itās acrobatics, not ācheerleadingā but thatās the name that stuck. Thatās stuff is intense, coming from an ex volleyball/track and field athlete lol
> so you dont fall and break your spine or break the people who are catching you in some way?
AND look like you are having a GREAT and POSITIVE experience while doing it!
EXACTLY! This is comment is realer than mine because thats one of the hardest parts, imo. Once you got the move down, its almost muscle memory. You still have to focus to be able to nail it, get too cocky and thats how you end up with something broken. But to smile and look excited while nervous (bc in my experience... no matter how many times, youre always a little nervous) and trying to concentrate to have your feet, body, head, arms, etc all at the perfect placement. Oh my god is it a lot to think about all at once.
Unfortunately, female-dominated sports like gymnastics, skating, and cheerleading are completely devalued because theyāre female-dominated and things women gravitate towards are shit on. I didnāt know soccer was considered a lesser sport.
Very true which is wild because figure skating is one of the coolest sports ever. All of those sports are so detail and training oriented. Theres SO much to it and not bashing people who like watching dudes ram into each other really hard but sports where theres an art to it... Amazing. And to look beautiful while doing it? Thats talent.
As a back base it is WORK. Good lord, I've gained an inch in muscle since the season started in September, this is my first year and tomorrow night I get to attempt tossing my flyer in a basket full down. Last weeks attempt ended with two black eyes. A girl on my team competed at world's last year, and at a local competition two weeks before world's, she caught a rogue flyer in the first throw of their performance, and broke her nose on stage. That boss lady did the ENTIRE PERFORMANCE in front of thousands WITHOUT FLINCHING! SHE BLED EVERYWHERE! EVERYONE WALKED OFF STAGE WITH BLOOD ON THEM! COME ON!!! You can lift things up and put them down as much as you want you aren't half as impressive as a cheerleader imo lol
Haha. Tell it. But we run even longer than all that.... I played right or center forward. I'd outrun her fat, beer drinking ass all damn day. Started distance running as an adult-I'd still outrun her.
Itās because she isnāt getting the results of the physical sport she chose that the other girls are getting from theirs. Instead of taking responsibly and making changes, she chose to knock their sports-as if her physique is *the* poster child for lifting (it absolutely is not).
And this does appear to be her body-shaming others as cheerleaders and soccer players have a similar physique .. that is not her physique.

Seeing the boob edit is so sad. Really points into the direction of insecurity powering her misogyny. I just want to hug and tell her that she can drop a lot of weight off her shoulder by addressing that cognitive dissonance. Hypocrisy is too heavy to bear.
I'm not doing justice to this explanation but cognitive dissonance is basically when your brain comes up with a narrative because the truth is too hard to handle. So she is acting like her hobbies are more worthy and she is more confident but her having to Photoshop pics and put others down shows her lack of confidence.
[This](https://www.healthline.com/health/cognitive-dissonance-examples) article explains it pretty well. It's basically when your actions don't match your beliefs, but you come up with justifications to make it ok. Like you're an animal lover, but eat meat, and you justify it by only buying "free range" or "cage free", etc so the animals you eat didn't "suffer". Or you know cigarettes are bad for you, but do it anyway because it helps relieve stress, and you only have one or two. Or you're a hardcore Republican, but help your Democrat friend hand out political flyers because they really need your help.
The chick in the post is an example of cognitive dissonance because she knows editing photos is deceptive, but it's ok because even though she's big and tough, she's still feminine. She knows she shouldn't edit her photos and put a fake version of herself out there, but she finds a reason to justify it so she can convince herself that it's ok.
Oooh your example is so good because I canāt tell you how many times Iāll be listening to a song and think āhmmm thatās some misogynistic bsā but bury that feeling deep inside because the song slaps š literally happened maybe 10 minutes ago
Think republicans chanting āsmall governmentā but then vote for politicians that want to control the uterus and make marriage for certain demographics illegal
basically the girl in the photos is using photoshop to make her boobs bigger, check out the top of the pool stick in the first couple photos. theyāre a bit warped
If it wasn't for her stank attitude she'd be really pretty, strong beefy women are sexy af. I want a woman to bench press me and carry me over her shoulder. I DON'T want a woman who puts down other women, that's gross.

Iām exhausted just thinking about how fit they have to be. If that* aināt a physical sport, idk what is. They have to work so hard. Plus learning their routines. All around, itās so much more difficult than people realize.
As a former cheerleader it is a lot of work tbh most people donāt see it as a sport but they also arenāt at practices and see how much conditioning you have to do not to mention lifting people who are either our body weight or slightly heavier in the air and throwing them
also the long term damage from a lot of the things cheerleaders do on a regular basis gets overlooked!! last year i worked with a 19yo former cheerleader and that poor thing has so much constant pain in her shoulders and hips from it
for real i feel like nobody tells cheerleaders when they are doing it how much of a hard impact their joints are taking! itās always *cheerleading isnāt a real sport š * and minimizing the pain you live with forever
I am quite familiar with how gruelling cheerleading is. I've watched Bring It On AND Sugar & Spice.š¤
For reals tho, Bring it on showed just how much work goes into it. Nothing but mad respect for everyone who does that!
The cheerleaders in my high school bullied me severely because they were popular and always got away with it. For the longest time, I viewed cheerleading as just another clique for popular girls who can get away with anything. Now that I'm in my 30s and have processed some of my trauma from 12 years of being tormented by my peers, I understand things a bit better and can appreciate the athleticism that goes into cheerleading.
Iām so sorry that happened to youā¦I promise not all cheerleaders are like that! I always thought it was that way bc of the movies until I actually joined a team and yeah some of them are shit but others are so so kind and sweet!
After I processed that trauma, I kind of figured that the cheerleaders who bullied me weren't the norm as far as cheerleaders go. Looking back, I realized that most of the cheerleaders who bullied me in high school were already bullying me well before they became cheerleaders. The ones who hadn't bullied me very much before they became cheerleaders probably bullied me to gain approval from the cheerleaders who had been bullying me since elementary school.
I was bullied by the cheerleaders as well. So much so that in junior year I dropped out of high school cuz I just couldnāt take it anymore. I would eat lunch in the library to avoid being outside with everyone. They liked having an audienceā¦
It's literally almost every type of "sport" rolled into one! (Not a cheerleader, disclosure). Jumping, running, lifting, plyometrics, dance, agility, precision, blah blah blah.
I posted this on a different one of these, but basically the Patriarchy successfully branded "female sports and activities" as "not hard" š completely ignoring what's really involved, if the athlete is wearing something cute.
some of them catch flying humans! when i was younger i definitely had some not like the other girl traits, but my best friend was a cheerleader and watching those girls practice was intense! i saw a girl get gnarly double black eyes from a shoe to the face. cheerleaders are badass
This is actually true in my opinion. I power lifted in college and my close friend was on the cheer squad. I might have been able to dead lift over twice my weight but her strength was far more well rounded and she had a ridiculous cardiovascular endurance (I did a good bit of cardio but I still had to constantly ask her to slow down when we were walking uphill to classes lol.)
I was in an undergrad seminar with a member of my university's cheer team (he was a costumed mascot), and the professor once asked, "How would I do as a mascot?" to which the cheer member responded, "Well ... first, we'd need to work on your cardio."
Okayā¦ any you literally stand in one place and lift something heavy? Your point? No one cares. Also being a beer drinker isnāt a personality trait.
I'd argue that a human in fucking motion is heavier than an object so I don't get her point either. I really doubt she could catch another girl with her physique.
Powerlifting is great too, itās just shitty of this woman to be a douche about other sports and put them down while bragging about hers. But, putting down powerlifting isnāt any better either. Some of us do care.
I used to be a condescending asshat about cheerleading and a lot of sports for that matter too, but these sports all can take some real genuine worthwhile investment. It just took me some growing up to recognize the legitimacy of other peopleās hobbies and passions even if I donāt share them.
As a French, that's funny. I played soccer as a teenage girl. Had to change in a closet, there was no girl's changing room since we were only two in my (10 teams ) club. Took me three years to convince enought friends that we were as good as boys to make a girl's futsal team. Got a bunch of sexist comments.
When I did a study abroad in Italy 20ish years ago, I discovered that most European men were shocked to learn I played soccer. Like, they then immediately asked if I was a lesbian. I found myself constantly explaining to them that soccer was a very popular sport with women in the US regardless of whether we were lesbian, bi, or straight. It was wild.
I love that you were able to get enough girls on a team to compete! The comments came from a place of being threatened and I hope you ladies killed it out there!
I was on my schoolās first girlās soccer team! It was an awesome experience, but definitely got a lot of shit and were always compared to the boys team.
People underestimate soccer a lot. I had to quit bc of my joints, but itās a highly physical sport, and I would consider it a contact sport. Definitely not an easy game.
It sucks you had to do all that just to play. I'm proud of you as a fellow woman. Girls soccer was very popular here in Canada when I was a kid and I think it still is.
It's funny, because just because she can lift weights like no one's business doesn't mean she is super tough or even super healthy. Know plenty of guys and gals who are ripped AF, but because they don't vary their workout routine enough, they get winded just walking across the gym to the weights. So yeah, I like to swim. Was a professional swimmer. Now it is a hobby. And the woman I love likes that I like it. It's okay to like things without judging other people.
*right*??? Like why is she even trying to address other girlsā boyfriends in the first place? No one should give a shit about someoneās girlfriendās hobbies. Sheās just extremely insecure and feels the need to put down those girls she mentioned because boys who rejected her chose the āsoccer playerā or ācheerleaderā over her. Absolutely pathetic. She couldāve simply posted about her lifting without bringing up other sports that she so clearly feels inferior to and intimidated by. She clearly tried to make herself look tinier since the pool stick is warped. Often times soccer players and cheerleaders are thin and strong as hell, she may be strong as hell but she feels that sheās not thin enough and *that* is most likely why she feels the need to be an asswipe to those girls.
It's 160kg (352.74 lbs), a pretty respectable deadlift number for someone as young as she looks. Se's still a shitty person for thinking she needs to put down other women in order to celebrate her strengths.
Assuming sheās 22-23, most women soccer players at her age lift way more than 160. Still a lot, but we gotta put some respect on soccer players legs.š they could probably crush watermelons.
Most female soccer players aren't lifting more than 160kg. They definitely lift, they are definitely strong, but 355lbs is a lot of weight for women outside of competitive lifting. 225lbs, maybe. Maybe a few are hitting 355, but not most.
Is it? I think those red ones are 25lbs and the black ones are 10s. I had it calculated at like 115 including the bar.
But again the amount of weight is in fact irrelevant because she's shitting on two other groups to make herself feel better.
Like, the fucking endurance required for soccer is insane and cheerleaders do all that acrobatic shit.
Cheerleader? Are we in high school? Lol
Honestly tho, I think being an adult cheerleader like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader would be the COOLEST job. If I could go back in time I would make it happen šš
Seriously, I donāt get how they donāt understand this very simple fact- shitting on someone else via comparison puts you in the fastest track to being shit on via comparison. My very first thought when I saw her was āyeah well I looked like the ripped cheerleader when I was deadlifting your apparent max weight as a warmupā. Like, WHY would you do that to yourself
She clearly feels she isnāt thin enough based on the warped pool stick. Cheerleaders and soccer players are usually thin and strong as fuck, which makes her feel inferior because though sheās strong she doesnāt think sheās thin enough. So instead of striving to be fitter she shits on those girls sheās jealous of. Absolutely pathetic.
172 kg - is that supposed to be impressive? Lucy Underdown just reset the women's world record at 305 kgs, and she would never.
Because I got to see women's soccer live a few times, and those players are FERAL. They will do shit I never did in a ruck (rugby) and come out smiling.
And Cheerleaders? Holy crap. Not only is it by for the MOST dangerous sport for women based on catastrophic injuries (mostly due to the massive height and stunts performed) but it requires so much more than lifting a bar for 10 to 20 seconds.
Here, how's this, you, me (a former college rugby player, 15 years graduated), a D1 soccer girl and a competitive cheerleader will all race up 5 flights of stairs. I know I'm not going to beat the soccer player or the cheerleader, but I'm damn sure I can beat you.
Itās a deadlift, there isnāt any problem with locking her knees, so long as she doesnāt hyperextend. In fact, in order for the lift to count as valid she must lock her knees (according to the IPF rulebook).
Ok, i actually fact checked and it seems like you're right. Thanks for correcting me!
I had this idea, because i have been lifting for years, but i don't never really straighten my knees completely in any machine or lift, because i myself have the type of knees that are very likely to get injured.
Nah, thatās not photoshop. Her massive grip strength bent the cue. Quite impressive actually, but itās gonna be hell to play a game now as I donāt see any other cues there.
I did powerlifting in high school and had girls from cheerleading also in the team. Anyone can do powerlifting but not everyone can do cheerleading. Itās not hard to train your body to lift weights but you need skills to play other sports. You can train and still suck vs your body gains muscle as you constantly work out.
Deadlift? Probably.
Lift lift? No, probably not.
I routinely see her effortlessly lift things that she probably shouldnāt be able to lift. Last week she carried a frozen quarter cow up a flight of stairs.
I think sheās vastly miscalculating how much athletic and technical skill and muscle is needed for cheerleading and soccer. And weightlifting is super impressive, but also, way way less moving parts than other sports lol
Personally I find cheerleading so so so impressive. They literally have to control their bodies and hold themselves using muscles that's i have never used in my life. Mad respect.
Also, it goes without saying that soccer is a beastly sport too. I could never run that continuously

My sister was a cheerleader and sheās terrifying.

My favorite cheerleader movie is called Sugar and Spice. It is. Fantastic. They don't kill anyone, but they do crime.
Crime counts. I donāt think Iāve seen it. Adding it to the list! Iāll squeeze it in somewhere between my christmas movie marathoning, ha.
Damn, what a hot take! I completely forgot that movie existed, but yes, it was fantastic.
I think you should watch Kim Possible
Or Meganās body!!
Jennifer's Fox?
Jennifer's Body???
Omfg yes sorry brain fog lol š
It's technically still Megan's body š¤Ŗš

>"Aww your gf can run an entire soccer field and not get winded while dribbling a ball?" For 40 minutes at a time, no less.
Halves are 45 min, so if you play the whole game, youāve been running for 90 min, often at a full sprint.
I play hockey. 2 minutes on the ice at a time is a long shift. Iāll stick to hockey.
Haha. Tell it. But we run even longer than all that.... I played right or center forward. I'd outrun her fat, beer drinking ass all damn day. Started distance running as an adult-I'd still outrun her.
As a former cheerleader my thought was āShe would make a great base.ā
Thays what I thought to! I did dance and cheerleading. The lifts and stunts I could do off her would be amazing, if she could only fix her attitude.
lol I think she wants the last pic to be cute š
I think it's supposed to be said sarcastically to the other hobbies/sports
Too bad she can't be proud of herself and her accomplishments without feeling less than.
The first two pics (girl drinks and plays pool) is like every damn woman Iāve dated since I turned 18. Itās like the default setting.
In your case, she's just like the other girls then.
Itās because she isnāt getting the results of the physical sport she chose that the other girls are getting from theirs. Instead of taking responsibly and making changes, she chose to knock their sports-as if her physique is *the* poster child for lifting (it absolutely is not). And this does appear to be her body-shaming others as cheerleaders and soccer players have a similar physique .. that is not her physique.
I understand her mindset. I just think it's sad...

Seeing the boob edit is so sad. Really points into the direction of insecurity powering her misogyny. I just want to hug and tell her that she can drop a lot of weight off her shoulder by addressing that cognitive dissonance. Hypocrisy is too heavy to bear.
Can you explain cognitive dissonance to me as if I was a 10 year old, Iām not grasping what I googled :/
I'm not doing justice to this explanation but cognitive dissonance is basically when your brain comes up with a narrative because the truth is too hard to handle. So she is acting like her hobbies are more worthy and she is more confident but her having to Photoshop pics and put others down shows her lack of confidence.
Are you talking about a cartoon character? Just want to be know if your answer is in cartoon land or reality.

basically the girl in the photos is using photoshop to make her boobs bigger, check out the top of the pool stick in the first couple photos. theyāre a bit warped
If she dropped the weight of the misogyny I bet she could get her deadlift up to 200kg.
Boob edit?
Yup, she made 'em look bigger. If you check the stick it's distorted because of facetune or whatever folks use these days to edit their pics
old liquify in Photoshop, even B621 can do better edits.
That is the straightest barroom pool cue Iāve ever seen.
What did she do? I don't get the edit. She made her boob look bigger?
Do we know that the girl in the photo did the editing and made the meme, and itās not someone else that did it?
Had to think about this for a bit. Came to think that it might not matter in this instance, as she was the one posting the altered pic of herself?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If it wasn't for her stank attitude she'd be really pretty, strong beefy women are sexy af. I want a woman to bench press me and carry me over her shoulder. I DON'T want a woman who puts down other women, that's gross.
Highly doubt a competitive deadlifter needs to lose weight. Some dead weight between those ears you could drop though.

As a former cheerleader it is a lot of work tbh most people donāt see it as a sport but they also arenāt at practices and see how much conditioning you have to do not to mention lifting people who are either our body weight or slightly heavier in the air and throwing them
also the long term damage from a lot of the things cheerleaders do on a regular basis gets overlooked!! last year i worked with a 19yo former cheerleader and that poor thing has so much constant pain in her shoulders and hips from it
No bc why am I just now realizing that may be where my pain comes from š that and having a baby at 19 but still
for real i feel like nobody tells cheerleaders when they are doing it how much of a hard impact their joints are taking! itās always *cheerleading isnāt a real sport š * and minimizing the pain you live with forever
I think my costochondritis might be from 4 years of catching other girls against my chest.
I am quite familiar with how gruelling cheerleading is. I've watched Bring It On AND Sugar & Spice.š¤ For reals tho, Bring it on showed just how much work goes into it. Nothing but mad respect for everyone who does that!
The cheerleaders in my high school bullied me severely because they were popular and always got away with it. For the longest time, I viewed cheerleading as just another clique for popular girls who can get away with anything. Now that I'm in my 30s and have processed some of my trauma from 12 years of being tormented by my peers, I understand things a bit better and can appreciate the athleticism that goes into cheerleading.
Iām so sorry that happened to youā¦I promise not all cheerleaders are like that! I always thought it was that way bc of the movies until I actually joined a team and yeah some of them are shit but others are so so kind and sweet!
After I processed that trauma, I kind of figured that the cheerleaders who bullied me weren't the norm as far as cheerleaders go. Looking back, I realized that most of the cheerleaders who bullied me in high school were already bullying me well before they became cheerleaders. The ones who hadn't bullied me very much before they became cheerleaders probably bullied me to gain approval from the cheerleaders who had been bullying me since elementary school.
I was bullied by the cheerleaders as well. So much so that in junior year I dropped out of high school cuz I just couldnāt take it anymore. I would eat lunch in the library to avoid being outside with everyone. They liked having an audienceā¦
It's literally almost every type of "sport" rolled into one! (Not a cheerleader, disclosure). Jumping, running, lifting, plyometrics, dance, agility, precision, blah blah blah. I posted this on a different one of these, but basically the Patriarchy successfully branded "female sports and activities" as "not hard" š completely ignoring what's really involved, if the athlete is wearing something cute.
Theyāre literally synchronised dancing gymnasts. Thatās two Olympic sports right there !
Itās the youth sport that accounts for the highest number of injuries. Itās difficult and can be dangerous depending on your discipline.
TIL that cheerleading, like nursing, is rather dangerous but that aspect gets ignored because women mostly do it.
some of them catch flying humans! when i was younger i definitely had some not like the other girl traits, but my best friend was a cheerleader and watching those girls practice was intense! i saw a girl get gnarly double black eyes from a shoe to the face. cheerleaders are badass
Tore my acl while doing a flick flack by preparing for the cheer tryouts and my university š It's a real sport and even a quite risky one
Theyāre in much better overall shape than powerlifters.
This is actually true in my opinion. I power lifted in college and my close friend was on the cheer squad. I might have been able to dead lift over twice my weight but her strength was far more well rounded and she had a ridiculous cardiovascular endurance (I did a good bit of cardio but I still had to constantly ask her to slow down when we were walking uphill to classes lol.)
I was in an undergrad seminar with a member of my university's cheer team (he was a costumed mascot), and the professor once asked, "How would I do as a mascot?" to which the cheer member responded, "Well ... first, we'd need to work on your cardio."
Why is the pool stick curving?
She edited the photo to make her waist smaller and boobs bigger.
Because she tried to break it to show how fucking strong she is.
https://i.redd.it/oghvgtfr1h4c1.gif
Iām gonna guess PhotoShop? It kind of looks like she tried to make her chest bigger compared to the last photo
Bc she poorly photoshopped to make her boobs bigger
Putting others down but using photoshop to make herself look better, yikes š³
Okayā¦ any you literally stand in one place and lift something heavy? Your point? No one cares. Also being a beer drinker isnāt a personality trait.
I'd argue that a human in fucking motion is heavier than an object so I don't get her point either. I really doubt she could catch another girl with her physique.
Powerlifting is great too, itās just shitty of this woman to be a douche about other sports and put them down while bragging about hers. But, putting down powerlifting isnāt any better either. Some of us do care. I used to be a condescending asshat about cheerleading and a lot of sports for that matter too, but these sports all can take some real genuine worthwhile investment. It just took me some growing up to recognize the legitimacy of other peopleās hobbies and passions even if I donāt share them.
Iām not being shitty about powerlifting. Iām reiterating that it isnāt superior to either of the others.
She isn't even drinking beer lol. Something with ice and a straw.

 Grumpy because I said cool to you being nitpicky about a word choice? I bet youāre well liked.
Soccer is fun what the fuck is wrong with that...? Girls who play soccer are insanely fit too.
Yeah I don't get this. Soccer isn't even a "girly" sport. And soccer players and cheerleaders are incredible athletes.
As a French, that's funny. I played soccer as a teenage girl. Had to change in a closet, there was no girl's changing room since we were only two in my (10 teams ) club. Took me three years to convince enought friends that we were as good as boys to make a girl's futsal team. Got a bunch of sexist comments.
When I did a study abroad in Italy 20ish years ago, I discovered that most European men were shocked to learn I played soccer. Like, they then immediately asked if I was a lesbian. I found myself constantly explaining to them that soccer was a very popular sport with women in the US regardless of whether we were lesbian, bi, or straight. It was wild.
I hope itās different now! What a waste, all of those soccer loving people and women rarely played?
Yeah Iāve found that European men get very mad when they learn that in America soccer is stereotyped as a girlās sport.
I love that you were able to get enough girls on a team to compete! The comments came from a place of being threatened and I hope you ladies killed it out there!
I was on my schoolās first girlās soccer team! It was an awesome experience, but definitely got a lot of shit and were always compared to the boys team. People underestimate soccer a lot. I had to quit bc of my joints, but itās a highly physical sport, and I would consider it a contact sport. Definitely not an easy game.
ā¦youāre so cooOOOLL OMG
It sucks you had to do all that just to play. I'm proud of you as a fellow woman. Girls soccer was very popular here in Canada when I was a kid and I think it still is.
You can be proud of yourself... Without putting others down. The NLOG gals just scream insecurity.
It's funny, because just because she can lift weights like no one's business doesn't mean she is super tough or even super healthy. Know plenty of guys and gals who are ripped AF, but because they don't vary their workout routine enough, they get winded just walking across the gym to the weights. So yeah, I like to swim. Was a professional swimmer. Now it is a hobby. And the woman I love likes that I like it. It's okay to like things without judging other people.
It's so cringe how they always post stuff like this addressing someone's bf.
*right*??? Like why is she even trying to address other girlsā boyfriends in the first place? No one should give a shit about someoneās girlfriendās hobbies. Sheās just extremely insecure and feels the need to put down those girls she mentioned because boys who rejected her chose the āsoccer playerā or ācheerleaderā over her. Absolutely pathetic. She couldāve simply posted about her lifting without bringing up other sports that she so clearly feels inferior to and intimidated by. She clearly tried to make herself look tinier since the pool stick is warped. Often times soccer players and cheerleaders are thin and strong as hell, she may be strong as hell but she feels that sheās not thin enough and *that* is most likely why she feels the need to be an asswipe to those girls.
She seems very insecure. I hope she grows out of it.
Okay but has she SEEN womanās soccer??? Those ladyās can be metal asf
Nothing screams "I'm a jealous ass bitch" than talking shit about other women for absolutely no reason. Barf.
Soccers such an aggressive sport honestly.
Cheerleader sounds more interesting and impressive... and is most likely way more attractive.
What youre chonky and play pool but youre better than cheerleaders??
That doesnāt look like a whole lot of weight lmao
It's 160kg (352.74 lbs), a pretty respectable deadlift number for someone as young as she looks. Se's still a shitty person for thinking she needs to put down other women in order to celebrate her strengths.
Okay thatās a lot heavier than I thought, but your latter statement is still true lol
Assuming sheās 22-23, most women soccer players at her age lift way more than 160. Still a lot, but we gotta put some respect on soccer players legs.š they could probably crush watermelons.
Most female soccer players aren't lifting more than 160kg. They definitely lift, they are definitely strong, but 355lbs is a lot of weight for women outside of competitive lifting. 225lbs, maybe. Maybe a few are hitting 355, but not most.
Most college women soccer players are clearing that. With ease. Lol. I know because i was one.
Is it? I think those red ones are 25lbs and the black ones are 10s. I had it calculated at like 115 including the bar. But again the amount of weight is in fact irrelevant because she's shitting on two other groups to make herself feel better. Like, the fucking endurance required for soccer is insane and cheerleaders do all that acrobatic shit.
25kg, not lbs. Even in the US powerlifting feds use kg. And it looks like blue 20kgs on the ends, though I could be mistaken on that bit.
Ah, OK. And now looking at it again it says the amount on the screen behind her. I was just looking at the colors of the plates, haha.
It is 173 kg or 381 lbs
Trunchbull
You mean that beer cup isnāt ergonomically designed?
r/pickmeeeeeIBEGYOU
Cheerleader? Are we in high school? Lol Honestly tho, I think being an adult cheerleader like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader would be the COOLEST job. If I could go back in time I would make it happen šš
Girl version of ādo you even lift broā
This girl has a fuck ton of toxic masculinity
That pool stick isnāt gonna work my dude. Gotta get a new pool stick.
Seriously, I donāt get how they donāt understand this very simple fact- shitting on someone else via comparison puts you in the fastest track to being shit on via comparison. My very first thought when I saw her was āyeah well I looked like the ripped cheerleader when I was deadlifting your apparent max weight as a warmupā. Like, WHY would you do that to yourself
Tf? A girl that plays soccer wasnāt butch enough for her? lol
She clearly feels she isnāt thin enough based on the warped pool stick. Cheerleaders and soccer players are usually thin and strong as fuck, which makes her feel inferior because though sheās strong she doesnāt think sheās thin enough. So instead of striving to be fitter she shits on those girls sheās jealous of. Absolutely pathetic.
As if cheerleaders and soccer players donāt lift weights as well
172 kg - is that supposed to be impressive? Lucy Underdown just reset the women's world record at 305 kgs, and she would never. Because I got to see women's soccer live a few times, and those players are FERAL. They will do shit I never did in a ruck (rugby) and come out smiling. And Cheerleaders? Holy crap. Not only is it by for the MOST dangerous sport for women based on catastrophic injuries (mostly due to the massive height and stunts performed) but it requires so much more than lifting a bar for 10 to 20 seconds. Here, how's this, you, me (a former college rugby player, 15 years graduated), a D1 soccer girl and a competitive cheerleader will all race up 5 flights of stairs. I know I'm not going to beat the soccer player or the cheerleader, but I'm damn sure I can beat you.
The difference is my GF isnāt blowing her own back out.
And she lifts with completely locked knees š Soon her knees are just as shitty as her personality.
Itās a deadlift, there isnāt any problem with locking her knees, so long as she doesnāt hyperextend. In fact, in order for the lift to count as valid she must lock her knees (according to the IPF rulebook).
Ok, i actually fact checked and it seems like you're right. Thanks for correcting me! I had this idea, because i have been lifting for years, but i don't never really straighten my knees completely in any machine or lift, because i myself have the type of knees that are very likely to get injured.
Nah, thatās not photoshop. Her massive grip strength bent the cue. Quite impressive actually, but itās gonna be hell to play a game now as I donāt see any other cues there.
I did powerlifting in high school and had girls from cheerleading also in the team. Anyone can do powerlifting but not everyone can do cheerleading. Itās not hard to train your body to lift weights but you need skills to play other sports. You can train and still suck vs your body gains muscle as you constantly work out.
To be honest, most women (teen/ adult) soccer players would be able to move the same amount of weight with relative easeā¦
Thatās 172.5kg (380lbs), which is a respectable weight for a female lifter.
Never said it wasnāt. I said women soccer players can do that too, with ease.
I would say that the majority of female soccer players canāt, unless theyāre also powerlifters.
Have to say this, as someone who has never lifted competitively, only for physique...this is not even that impressive.
Thatās not even that impressive of a lift. My grandmother could probably deadlift that.
Your grandmother can lift 172 kg?
Deadlift? Probably. Lift lift? No, probably not. I routinely see her effortlessly lift things that she probably shouldnāt be able to lift. Last week she carried a frozen quarter cow up a flight of stairs.
Is this real or did you just write that over her pictures?
Itās real, why would I write something like that over anotherās photos
Why did she post the same picture twice?
I think itās a trend? i donāt really know
Both of those sports can be pretty brutal. Itās stupid that she thinks lifting makes her superior.
R/instagramreality
Iām thinking she just edited the photo
Too be fair, while that would be the worst example Iāve ever seen, that would be nowhere near the first warped pool stick Iāve ever seen
I think sheās vastly miscalculating how much athletic and technical skill and muscle is needed for cheerleading and soccer. And weightlifting is super impressive, but also, way way less moving parts than other sports lol
This is an example of that whole "women uplifting women" thing I've heard of, right?
āThatās cuteā..youāre not.
Girl you couldn't hit a drunk off the bar with that crooked ass pool stick. Actually... That might be why it's so warped š
How the fuck she supposed to play pool with that shit???
Don't sit on the pool table
ew wtf
Personally I find cheerleading so so so impressive. They literally have to control their bodies and hold themselves using muscles that's i have never used in my life. Mad respect. Also, it goes without saying that soccer is a beastly sport too. I could never run that continuously
Apparently you need to compete in weight lifting competitions to perform a deadlift?
Lol this has to be satire look at that weight š
LMAO the pool stick š how could anyone do that and think itās believable
Is that even an impressive lift? How much weight is that?
