*shrug* I just squat deeper. And know I must be doing something right.3 -
I see women lifting all the time nothing wrong with it could have been talking about form2

Yes It must happen all over. Maybe eventually it won't be so odd to some. I'll not give up with it. In fact I'm going to go for it more than I ever have. If anyone has any tips on coping with shyness in a gym I'm all ears0

The only way to normalize it is to just keep doing it.1

Definitely. It's the only way forward0

I think a lot of people need to find new gyms or something...it is very normal at my gym to see women lifting...that's the only thing anyone does in my gym as there isn't really a cardio area...everyone lifts, and at least half the clientele is women.4

I edged into the free weights area this week and did my thing with my itty bitty weights. I lost a lot of muscle when I lost my weight as I did something to my right upper arm that meant I couldn't lift anything for a while, so now I'm lifting like 10s and 8s and even 5s for certain things. I did feel some anxiety but I pay to be there same as everyone.1

New gym and new attitude starting very soon. I will beat this shyness and I will carry on with my training, if I look stupid well so be it. Least I'll getting some serious gains on the process:)0
