Do women look at men lifting super heavy weights? I know men do.

    I think you are *really* asking are women impressed by this? Am I correct? Because if so, I can answer that. Just let me know.

    Sometimes.. Mostly due to the noises they make while doing it.

    I don't I typically avoid eye contact with everyone, try to remain in my own little world of lifting.

    I don't know that women are affected by the sight of men working out the same way that men are about women (or even other men). Sorry! :p

    I enjoy the noises guys make cause it makes me laugh or I end up making a surprised/weirded out face to whoever next to me. You can usually catch me looking at other girls and using that as either a reference for workout ideas or be being super impressed and motivating myself as my goal.

    A 400lb bench press would be impressive (assuming his butt is on the bench, and he actually touches his chest) If that was the case, I would probably look.

    I would be more likely to look / admire a decent squat though. Do you know how rare it is to see a guy performing a squat of reasonable (parallel) depth?? Most either don't squat at all, or have 3-4" ROM.

    Most importantly, I'd be WAY more impressed with a well executed lift at whatever weight, than a poorly executed excuse for a PR at a really heavy weight. Maxes are usually ugly, but there are still standards.

    Yes, I look whenever anyone at my gym is doing something out of the ordinary.

    Does it even matter if you are juicing and your weenie doesn't lift?

    Yup because I'm wondering if I'll have to rerack his plates when he's done

    I look and watch for form or when someone drops the weights... If a guy is hot I will look even if he was picking up dog s*^t!

    And honestly I do. Not going to lie. I love seeing the muscles in motion, facial expressions, grunting noises, and sweat dripping

    I would look if something startled me to look up in that direction. Otherwise, not so much.

    I would be impressed if I saw the same person helping someone with a flat change a tire, hold a door open, etc. then, I would notice with a favorable impression. But 80% of the impressiveness would be the action, not the appearance.

    Would any woman be mildly impressed at me lifting 22 kg dumbbells? I can make really manly sounding grunting noises if required.

    I would be looking if I saw a man lifting six other men (three with each arm).

    I'll stand next to you. Our mouths agape in awe. Maybe we should vine this?

    So if you bench press 400+ lbs, you take anabolic steroids (AKA "juice")? This leads to one question... DYELB?

    No. How much a man can lift doesn't impress me. I could care less what they are doing. Plus I have a fiance so my eyes don't really need to go wandering, they get to see the sexiest man alive every day already.

    It's not how much you lift it's how good you look doing it. :smile:

    Aww I bench 405 that 4 plates on each side's buddy. Drug free. I think you need some spinach.

    Or:

    Some of us do, some of us don't. We aren't a hive-mind.

    I personally don't even realize most people exist at the gym unless they hover towards my personal space bubble or I'm in theirs.
