Why do (some) men.....

in Chit-Chat
Try lifting weights way heavier than what they can clearly handle? By clearly handle, I mean with proper form/posture. I see this all the time at the gym; a guy will walk in and go straight for the heaviest weight. Then he will heave it with horrible form, often doing 4-5 reps only. You can always tell men who know what they are doing from those that are trying to break their spine doing a tricep extension with a dumbbell half their body weight.

Conversely, most women tend to always reach for the pretty pink toddler sized weights.

    Ego and lack of knowledge, for the most part.

    This goes for multiple things men try to do without much knowledge. :wink: :smooched:

    More like a completely random and totally gossipy observation; hence posted in chit chat.

    Actually they don't seem to be thinking at all...

    It is a generalization, but unfortunately true in many cases. The people I've encountered at the gym have pretty bad form on most of their lifts.

    And yes, I should be minding my own business. :tongue:

    Note the lack of the generalizing term ALL.

    A better question would be why do you care what other people are doing? It has no effect on you other than possibly making you feel a bit insecure lifting in the "Light-weight section", and by "light weight" I don't mean Ronnie Coleman "Light-weight" I mean colored dumbbells "light weight"

    To impress the ladies of course and intimidate other potential mates of course.
