    You mean you don't go to the gym FOR the buff guys?
    You're doing it wrong.




    ETA: When the big guys stare, stare right back then watch them look away quick like shy little girls.

    Haha! I was so self conscious at first, but when I do my bent over rows or dead lifts I think it's hilarious to see them trying NOT to look at my big booty! The other funny thing is when you are looking at your own form in the mirror and some big guy is in the way and thinks you're looking at him! Uh uh I've only got eyes for.....moi!

    I tell you what....
    I will check your form also......won't give any advice, but I will check it and make mental notes.

    Sound good?? :laugh:

    It's a deal! Haha!

    I just turn around and ask them if there was something they wanted to ask me since I can see in the mirror that they have been staring for a while. They usually apologize and then knock it off.

    c - e - b (oh a girl who isn't doing cardio, interesting - that's awesome - those weights are light pfft)
    in that order.

    It's usually pretty novel seeing a women in the weights section, but thats a good thing. Stick with it.


    EDIT : I agree with Hauntinglyfit;

    That'll stop most people staring :smile: Although, do be prepared for a "How you doin" :laugh:

    They don't give a crap what u look like, they don't care u are there, just keep lifting seriously they don't really care. Period.

    This is the truth. But I understand how you feel:)

    If you stop doing high reps low weight and start doing heavy lifting you will soon lift more than some of the new guys that go into that section. And then those guys will stare because they are embarrassed that a girl lifts more than they do. true story...

    If you're wearing anything that reveals your shoulders, I'd presume you're a hooker.

    LOL!

    The thing about the weight room is that there can be an underlying competition -- for guys or girls -- and people do tend to stare more than they do in a beginning yoga class or something. They really do check out what you are doing, imho, like how many lbs and all that. I don't know why, exactly, although it could be because it draws competitive folks.

    But if you want folks checking out your form and the feeling of competition in the air, try a really advanced yoga class at my old gym. OMG, some of those folks (women by about 95%) need to learn 'eyes on your own paper' ;) As teeny as they were, I felt kind of like it was the beginning of the Baby Got Back video :D:D

    Most likely, E. If they don't think you're awesome it's because they're (insert word that starts with a P) themselves. :glasses:
