Compliments = YAY!

I just wanted to share this with you all. I'm currently in stage 1 and at a new gym, so I've got my eye out for other women who might doing a similar thing. I've been feeling a bit lonely at the gym as I haven't found any gym buddies yet.

I was doing my (50kg) deadlifts today and a lady who looked pretty buff came to the station next to me and said: "That's ***king awesome". She made my day!!

Have you got any compliments when lifting? Or tempted to make some?

hell yeah!! One day when I was working out an older man who works out at my gym came up to me and said, "you know, you work really hard." It made me feel sooo good because he could tell I was putting in my all.

There are a few other buff women at my gym, but I'm afraid to compliment them as I don't want to seem like a creeper. I'm also afraid of interrupting people who seem "in the zone" or if they're listening to an i-pod.

I'm so proud of all your ladies working your butts off and getting noticed for it too!
