Icons: you can haz

001
002
003
004
005
006
007
008
009
010


002 and 003 are snagged from Crossfit sites; alas, I don't know the names of the extremely badass women depicted. 001 and 009 are Krista from Stumptuous, taken from her inspirational calendar, which I totally recommend buying. 004 is the astonishing Zoe Smith. 005 is Krissy of Bodytribe, doing a barbell Turkish get-up. 006 is technically a detour from lifting heavy things into track and field, but it's Olga Kotelko (age 91), so who can blame me? 007 is bodybuilder Jung Young Ji and also her deltoid muscles. And 010 is the amazing Cheryl Haworth.

Want, take. Comments and credit are extremely nice, but feel free to use them as bases if you've got brilliant ideas of your own.

(O mod, can we have an "icons" tag?)

Barbell Turkish get-ups? Oh, wow. *impressed by her balance*

I recommend checking out Bodytribe's DVDs and YouTube channel, then; that sort of thing is their sick twisted idea of fun. *g*

This... they... wow.

This is absolutely asinine, but I love the energy of these shots (energy, get it? I mean, really.) 003 has such movement! And 007 (which I think I must snag) is just begging the question of what Jung Young Ji is lifting just off icon screen there.

Can you request icons at Yuletide, I wonder? What is Jung Young Ji lifting? What knocked the woman in 002 down, and will they survive her getting up again?

OMG spoilers!!!

Jung Young Ji is lifting herself and doing a very fine pull-up. And the woman in 002 has been knocked down by the obligation to demonstrate impeccable push-up form for a Crossfit website. Whether they will survive her getting up again is as yet unknown.

However, AUs are always possible. Icons should totally be Yuletideable!
