    Im doing a slow sneaky segue into the free weights area, Im about half machines, half weights now. Ive started with a personal trainer who so far has taught me deadlifts, shoulder press, bench and some torturous thing she calls thrusters. So far the only comment I have had is 'how many sets do you have left please'. And yesterday one of the regulars smiled and said Hi. Now I just need to find the courage to see if someone will spot me which is why I keep using the machines as I go alone

    I actually never use a spot as most of the lifts I could just bail out of. For bench press, I just use the roll of shame. Had to do it Tuesday as my last pause rep killed me. :sad:
