My vagina.
There's nothing physically wrong with it, you just need to clean the sand out of it.
Its not body dysmorphia if its a legitimate weakness. I don't even look like I lift, so when I talk about it I expect people to be thinking "this guy is full of shit"
Fat gut too which doesn't help.
Nah most of my fat hangs around the belly. Might get a Dexa scan done, can't argue with the numbers.I love my belleh... Well, I've grown to accept it.
Post up a sock pic for [MENTION=9034]kaz[/MENTION]; she'd be a pretty good judge of where your at.
I bet your just being hard on yrself

This sounds about right. Only amongst powerlifters and internet lifters is 170kg weak on anything. I hang out in strength gyms and feel like an insignificant nobody; I come to these forums and am overtly told I'm not allowed an opinion on anything strength-related because I'm not strong enough (I have a gold medal in powerlifting (and that's literally the least meaningful factor of my knowledge and understanding of strength training), but evidently that's not relevant); then I go to the gym at uni and warm up with the maxes of guys who are much more muscular than myself. I think we get caught up so much in obsessing over lifting stupidly heavy weights that we lose touch with reality.Don't Power lifters suffer from strength dysmorphia?
Squats 170 kg then punches himself in the junk backstage cos he thinks he's a feeble kunce.....

Rather than being insecure about a body part, or thinking I'm too fat/thin etc., I'm self-conscious about my posture, gait and body language. If I'm not doing anything with my hands, I don't know what to do with them, and I'm very self-conscious about having these two limbs sticking out of my body that I'm awkwardly trying to look like I'm casually not thinking about :S I end up having my hands clasped together, in my pockets, or arms crossed a lot of the time, because just hanging by my side feels unnatural. I like having food or a drink in my hands when socialising, so that I can stop fretting over what my hands are/n't doing.
