Ok - so on horse back from 4 years old and then start weight training at 13. Of course the gym is full of guys, im the only girl (generally thats the way it is!) and as far as im concerned I AM WEAK!
In fact I carried on thinking I was weak because I was comparing myself against the boxers and weight lifters in the gym who mostly all competed - until I started competing at 16.
Let me tell you gentleman - as has been previously pointed out - size doesnt necessarily mean anything. When I was at Uni - I was the first door woman in the Northern IReland and I quickly leaned that the wee ones quite often could fight like hell and to never underestimate anyone as thats when you got hurt!
I love doing lift and carry - always did from the moment my first session client persuaded me to do it and there is nothing like the feeling of knowing that the girl you are carrying on your shoulders is amazed and the honour you feel that they want YOU to do it!
So.................even though a girl may be stronger than you it doesnt mean you cant overpower with skill as was pointed out before.
Anyway,, this ended up a bit of a rambling message so I will go away now!

Hi Storm, I am intrigued by your reference to horse riding - I recently had a "session" with a woman and started to massage her shoulders/neck to find that she had very well defined, powerful muscles there: "thats due to the horse riding I do" she said. I would never have imagined that horse riding could do that; is that a common experience do you think?

Later on she lifted me so easily (I'm 13 and a half stones) rather more so than I can lift her which leaves me to think she may well be stronger than me, and I'm generally considered to be pretty strong - but I guess that may be because she exercises her upper body (if the horse riding bit is correct) and I don't. We didn't pursue the strength comparison but we will do at some point and I must admit that if she proves stronger than me, rather than feeling embarrassed, I think I may find it a huge turn-on: she is not at all the muscly type btw, just well built I guess you could say, but very attractive with it.

In the past few weeks, I've noticed a woman in my gym who is almost always there when I go. She is about 45 years old, 5ft 9ins tall with a seriously muscular, shapely body.

She spends a lot of time in the weightlifting area which I don't go to, but judging by the size of plates on the bar, she is lifting seriously heavy weights. She also uses the exercise machines with weights and normally sets them at maximum. I've seen big guys use the machines after her, and have to reduce the weight before they can carry on.
