“Why Lauren Trains”
~Lauren T. 

To look sexy while doing amazing feats of strength 

A few months back I was on a dinner date. At the end of the evening the guy grabbed my hand. As he started drawing hearts on my palm he felt all of my hard-earned Sexy Friday calluses. He quickly drew his hand away in disgust and started questioning me on why my hands were so rough. I looked down at my hands, thought about all the awesome and challenging things the CF Dupont men and women do on a daily basis and told him that my hands are rough because I spend my free time getting stronger (and drinking insane amounts of tequila) with my friends. 

I was initially a little amazed that he didn’t understand that a strong woman is a sexy woman. Johanna and Katie doing dead lifts = sexy. Cali rocking the bench press = sexy. Me doing running keg stands = sexy.

The puzzle was immediately solved when I asked him how much he squats. I have him beat by 50 lbs. If fact, I could have squatted him in my cute black dress and sexy heals there and then had I been so inclined.  No big deal.

He can have the soft-handed delicate women. I’ll take Cali, Katie, and Johanna for my Zombie Apocalypse team anytime.

    Awesome post, Lauren. I too have had a similar experience. Some guys don’t get it and some guys do. The best part- you and I don’t give a shit either way. We keep doing what we do, getting stronger, faster, sexier. My hands, like the bros who have a problem with them, are an afterthought.
