"Just make sure your lats don't get TOO big!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember a friend telling me this in my early 20's.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was super pumped to be learning more about weight training and had started to hit the gym often and lift heavier.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My friend was excited for me, but at the same time, they were warning me to avoid becoming "too big", as if it was this terrible thing to be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is it that being bigger and having muscles is seen as a bad thing for women?
Something we are told to fear and to avoid at all costs?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And instead of being encouraged to celebrate our bodies, and show them love through lifting, movement, and food, we get sold a very different narrative from a young age.
This post though is about so much more than just big lats or muscles, it’s about choice and freedom.
It’s about knowing that you have so many choices when it comes to your body.
It’s about knowing that you can show up in your body however the f**k you want to.
It’s about knowing that you are in the driver’s seat and you get to choose how you want your body to look and what it can do.
You are in charge.
You make the decisions.
