    We are here to PUMP you up.

    This line from Napolean Dynamite popped into my head immediately:
    “Do you think I’m a loser because I go home to Starla every night?” ~ Rex of Rex Kwon Do

  3. Zita H says:

    I’m not surprised he’s hiding his arms under hers. No way has he got biceps like that! I wonder who carried who over the threshold?

  4. hi kooky says:

    Nothing like cuddling up with a woman whose arms are LARGER THAN YOURS. And whose hair threatens to smother you. And whose army boots will stomp you to a pulp should you cross her. Yikes!

  5. Cass says:

    It’s almost as if he’s trying to lift her up off the ground with that arm pose. And with that head tilt, she’s totally, “he’s trying to lift me up, but I’m so much buffer than him that he has no chance, isn’t he adorable for trying though??”

    Awkward? Oh yes.

  6. Jennie says:

    L-o-l-a lola…

  7. Patty says:

    So this is the softer side of American Gladiators!

  8. kdaniel says:

    She took the fitness bootcamp thing *really* seriously.

  9. Susie says:

    It’s a female body builder and her boyfriend. Besides the big hair, I don’t see what’s awkward. There are a lot of photos lately that just aren’t awkward.

    • Alan says:

      I agree. This is just a regular photo of two people in a non-awkward setting and doing non-awkward things (no puking babies, no drunks in the background, no weapons in their hands…)
      Have we seen every awkward photo already?

    • Jereme says:

      You don’t see what is awkward about this photo? I wonder if you would mind submitting some photos of yourself, then.

    • Kookaburra says:

      But it’s a woman who has chosen to be healthy and strong! OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      Ladies who do things at the gym other than yoga and spinning class are totes awkward. Trufax.

      • butcherbaby says:

        hey, i think it’s great when women are toned, strong, and muscular, i had some pretty good guns myself when i worked at large leather discount outlet- toting armfuls of motorcycle jackets around all day is a great workout. but most people will find this pic awkward because even *men* look weird with super-huge bodybuilder muscles, let alone women. and i suspect if her date had been a hulking weightlifter too, this pic wouldn’t look so odd & awkward.

  10. wendy says:

    Is this you Alison? I always think it’s great to see non-traditional beauty. Just because she has more muscles that that dude and I suspect could snap him in half doesn’t make her any less feminine. Though I would like to watch her snap someone in half.

  11. fishermanjoe says:

    I can guess who wears the pants in th is relationship… and no, its not the one in the pants.

  12. Karen says:

    He kinda looks like he is giving her the “Heimlich maneauver.”

  13. rebelle says:

    He better behave, she’ll snap him like a rose stem!

  14. Cheryce says:

    What a delicate little flower she is….

  15. Karen says:

    His name is Anthony…..but they call him Ant-nee. She is Mary Francis.

  16. Don says:

    Any chance she lives near Dallas? I have a jar of artichoke hearts in the pantry that I can’t for the life of me get the lid off of.

  17. Amice says:

    What some of you are missing that’s awkward is that she’s posing in a dainty, girlish way, in front of dainty, girlish flowers, which she has every right to do, of course, but it does contrast severely with her build and choice of clothing.

    It’s just a surprising, awkward contrast. Hee hee.

    • Zita H says:

      And what’s even more awkward is he’s trying to look so manly and stern and just isn’t pulling it off.

  18. Ron says:

    aww.. Sigfried and Roy as teenagers.

  19. Nancy says:

    Is that guy on his tippy toes?

    • Missy says:

      Oops, I called her Incredibly Hulk instead of Incredible. Just noticed. Oh well, helps out with her insecurity as well. More feminine to be incredibl”y”.

  20. Matty says:

    So that’s what Marney looks like.

  21. baytle says:

    Sarah Connor is a total babe.

  22. MST says:

    “Marry me or I’ll kick your ass”.

  23. Laura says:

    Chuckette Norris doesn’t style her hair … she glares it into submission!

  24. glasstabletop says:

    I think it’s fine, however at first I thought that was his arms around her…and then I saw the sleeve. Whatevs, as long as it works for you :)

  25. JPT60 says:

    I was going to make a your mom wears combat boots joke, but I’m afraid she will find me and kick my butt.

  26. Tim says:

    Of course they’re happy together…’cause she’ll kick his a** if they aren’t!

  27. springjack says:

    “You will stand in front of the rosebush because I _SAID_ to stand in front of the rosebush.”

  28. sidekick says:

    Ha…looks like the girl is protecting him. He says “hey, are you talkin’ to me?”
    He’s thinking: You’ll have to get past her first.

  29. Caligirl says:

    Great guns almighty!

  30. Mark says:

    Roses are red,
    violets are blue,
    Let go of my waist,
    or I’ll break you in two.

  31. magillicuddy says:

    “I’ll be back”

  32. ww says:

    It’s not that being a female body builder is the awkward aspect here – Starla’s lovely.

    It’s his “I can’t possibly be the center of attention in this picture, but dammit – I’m trying!” face that makes this truly awkward and hilarious.

  33. dsto says:

    ONe more try….”ARRGGHH She-Hulk Happy!”

  34. Nick says:

    As Peter Griffin would say, “Step right up and fight my wife!”

  35. hotiniraq says:

    is that a white cat down on the right??!!

  36. Brittney says:

    I think this is my mom’s old friend. small world!

    • Brittney says:

      yup, mom confirmed it, she said this was her back in her hay day! AWESOME

      • butcherbaby says:

        that’s so cool! i hope she doesn’t mind being on here. she’s really very pretty, does she still work out?
        and i’ve just got to say, the roses in the background are beautiful too!

  37. Martha says:

    Receiving the Heimlich maneuver doesnt have to cost you your sexy

  38. Guy says:

    You better not laugh or my wife will beat you up!

  39. Jim says:

    Guns N’ Roses

    • butcherbaby says:

      FOR REALS HAHAHAHA!

      you have officially won this round of comments, though i think it’s going to take a LOT for anyone to beat that. even with that lady’s arms.

  40. Antonius says:

    “You think I’m a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!”

  41. Katherine says:

    My first thought, unedited:

    “But WHY do you have to be G.I. Joan?!”

  42. getitgirl says:

    Oh. My. God.
