Calling All Beautiful Badasses

Calling All Beautiful Badasses Image

I’ve posted some videos of fellow Beautiful Badasses before, but I want to post even more!

So, ladies, send me your training videos and I will post them on the next Beautiful Badass edition. (And, guys, if you are with, or know, a Beautiful Badass feel free to send in a video of her!) You don’t have to be squatting 200 pounds or bench pressing your body weight. I just want to see women who are working HARD and lifting something that is heavy for them.

Let me see you sqatting, deadlifting, busting out bodyweight push-ups, dips, and chin-ups, pressing something overhead, running hill sprints, flipping a tire, drinking a Guinness, or anything else that can be described as “badass”.

Note: anything done with pretty pastel dumbbells will be immediately rejected and you lose all chances of acquiring a Beautiful Badass card.

You can also include some information on why you like lifting heavy and training hard, how it’s changed you mentally and physically, why you’re a Beautiful Badass, along with anything else you want to share.

Either post the information below in the comments section or send it to me via the Contact tab at the top of this page.

Let’s show the world that women can be strong AND feminine.

Let’s show the world that women can train hard, heavy, and get awesome results.

Let’s finally put to rest the BS notion that women should only lift light weights for high reps.

Come on, ladies! Send me your videos!

    Hey Nia!

    I think you're great and a huge inspiration to me!

    I'm proud to be a badass. I use to weigh 250lbs, and now I weigh 155lbs. Here are a couple videos my trainer took of me deadlifting 185 and squatting 135.

    My goal is to someday deadlift over 300lbs… and I'm getting there!!

    Thanks for writing such an awesome blog!

    I figured I should give you a 'head up,' Nia:

    Since you were looking for more examples of women (and perhaps? men) to be feautred, I would let you know that, after I ran upon http://PrettyPowerlifting.com in an Internet search for all things powerlifting, I put in a good word for you to their Facebook:

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pretty-Powerlifting/121335157921603

    …figured I'd say, just so you would get caught off guard.

    — MISC trivia — their website name is so similar to yours, it make me wonder if it was more than coincidence, but I'm sure you would never copy them — “what are the odds…”!

    Argh-!! –typos run amuk! – I meant to say:

    “”…their website name is so similar to yours (i.e.,: 'Beautiful Badass' –could have just as well been “PrettyBadasses” -and “BeautifulPowerlifting”), it makes me wonder if it was more than coincidence, but I'm sure you would never copy them — “what are the odds…”!

    “Beautiful Badasses” — love it!

    How about picking up at Atlas stone that outweighs me by 10 pounds?
