About a year ago, my doctor (who is a totally awesome doctor) suggested that I add weight-bearing exercise to my routine. I've been working out with free weights and the weight machines at the gym and have had great results.
So, I was talking about it at work and this one woman gets all upset and tells me working with any kind of weight will "ruin me down there".
Anyone else heard this? I'm now trying to imagine myself doing a biceps curl and my uterus exploding mid-curl.

I've never heard anyone say that, and it sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

That woman has no idea what she's talking about. Slap her.

I fail to see the connection - I also fail to see how this other person can figure out how to breathe. Although I do have the skull of Brian Boru as a child that I'd like to sell her.

um what? sounds like this lady might be a few fries short of a happy meal. I lift weights and I've had no issue. I have a much better sex life and the region down yonder has only gotten better, not worse.

I don't think she knows what she is talking about at all. More muscle and definition are generally a good thing for health in all aspects, so long as you don't cross a line into overly muscled (think bodybuilder type). Bodybuilder's often have a hell of a time keeping enough protein and such going into their body to support the muscles, then have to make sure not to take in too much protein cause it is hard on the kidneys and such. My brother got into bodybuilding from joining a weight lifting club in high school. I think he thought that being big and bulky would help him get chicks or something cause he was kinda quiet and shy around them otherwise.

That's absolutely ridiculous. If anything, being stronger will make your sex life better. You'll have more stamina and more strength. Weight training is good for your bones too.

Build up your muscles, then slap some sense into her!

I guess it's not so much an old wives' tale, then - just one lone crazy!
And you guys are right about fitness improving sex, too! The doctor who brought it up in the first place is a gyno, so she's pretty familiar with my female parts and would have noticed if my vagina was about to break or some shit.

Well, actually, lifting heavy things might be dangerous. That's how my grandma ended up in a surgery when one of her ovaries broke. She used to work as a spinner when she was very young. Machines were difficult to operate (with very heavy parts) and it ended bad for her. But I think that woman from your workplace is overreacting. It's not like you are lifting tons of metal stuff! I'm sure you are training responsively.

That's cool, by the way Good luck with your training

NEWSFLASH! She is not crazy: I think she might be thinking of the strain people are often in when they lift huge weights, like weightlifting men. Putting huge strain on your lower body can can hemorrhoids and vaginal prolapse (think: childbirth). However, that is usually not a healthy way of doing it.

So, does she also believe that lifting things for purely practical purposes will also do this? Like say, carrying a child around, or stocking shelves in a store? Or going on regular walks or swimming? Or that the same will happen to men that lift weights? Because if not, then she has some serious flaws in her own logic.

I'd ask her why she thinks that to be the case. You might want to either try explaining the truth to her or suggest she see a doctor on the matter if she doesn't believe you. That or inform her of the existence of kegel exercises. Or hey, if you have a good sex life, brag about it and watch her try to figure things out!

Unless you're lifting weights that are insanely heavy or doing your training improperly, I can't see this even being remotely true. If the subject ever comes up again between you two, I wouldn't mind getting an update on here just to see what else she says.

That could definitely be the case. But WTF does she think the OP is doing!? Regular exercise isn't a strongman competition!! How weird..

That doesn't even make sense to me. In fact, I'd guess you are getting healthier.
