What to expect from weightlifting

1) Thought you were a little achey after your last run? Meet weightlifting DOM. A hard and heavy weight lifting session will leave your muscles feeling tight and sore providing a whole new meaning to what you thought were doms.



2) After leg day we don't walk up stairs, we don't bend down, free disabled parking space... well, don't mind if I do... and we probably wouldn't give up a seat on the bus for an old person.



3) You'll lift everything because we can. Your friend at work may be hurting from lifting boxes the other day, but you, you feel nothing because you lift weights 100x that weight like a bawse every single day.



4) The thought of long steady state cardio will make you  squeamish.



5) You'll worry that you'll loose all your gains if you take a couple days off from the gym.



6) You'll swap your usual Saturday night cocktails to hang out at this bar instead.



7) Protein is an essential and before you know it you'll have more protein shakers than glasses and mugs combined. Other people have protein tea parties right? You'll have to start making more room to fit them in...




8)  Going on a date with somebody who doesn't lift? No thanks.



9) You stop caring about the scales. If you've put on 10 pounds, you know it's probably the weight of your newly formed phenomenal biceps.



10) Days of the week are known as body parts. "Monday? You mean chest day?"... "Back/04/2015"...



11) You will never eat breakfast and lunch again - it's meal's "1" and "2" or, "pre-workout meal" and "post-workout meal."



12) You'll eat. LOTS. Mainly from tupperwear.



13) You will no longer glare at grunting weightlifters who throw their weights around at the gym.



14) You'll feel naked without your gym gloves on.



15) You're wardrobe will be 99% gym wear and 1% every day clothes.



16) ...and do washing everyday because your laundry pile is never ending.



17) Thought skinny jeans are hard to get on? Try putting them on someone who trains legs, not once a week, but twice a week and has a 'squat booty. 'And, lets not even go there with jackets and long sleeves which can't contain your shoulder boulders anymore.



18)  Somebody saying you have a big ass is a compliment.



19) You will get pretty darn good at maths; "two plates = 40kg" ..." " 1 scoop of protein powder  = 25g of protein."...



20) You will find a way to pair trainers with everything.




21) You'll feel confident, strong and f*&%king awesome.
