    home gym so they must have broken in :tongue:

    In a commercial gym = hotness + respect

    On the proviso that they aren't just doing a gazillion reps of isolation exercises. That goes for guys or girls though.

    When that girl who wears make up and did her hair is doing leg presses on the assisted pull up machine I'm like "wtf is she thinking?"

    But when that one girl comes in who looks like she just rolled out of bed and doesn't give a duck, starts to perform snatches and C&J's with perfect form, i stand square in front of her, right hand over my heart and recite the pledge of allegiance.

    vaguely annoyed that she's statistically way more likely to get flirted with in between sets than I am.

    Awesome :) hehehehe

    I don't do heavy weight lifting (at 95 pounds what would be a lot to me isn't all that impressive), but I do lots of acrobatic type stuff (press handstands, one arm handstands, planches, etc) and other body weight stuff. I definitely get applause on occasion and some "looks".

    This is good to read considering how awkward it feels being in our weight room.

    Right?? I have yet to even touch the weight room. I don't even know where to begin anyway so I'd make a fool of myself :p

    I'm sticking to the pool =p

    The testosterone in the weight room is overwhelming :D

    Don't care just remember its a weight room and not for stretching in the mirror or setting up camp on a bench (I will remove anyone's towel, water botttle, ipod or magazine if you are yakking to a friend on a treadmill and what's with talking on the phone. I will have a look... But I really don't care I'd you're there to workout, prefer that to a screamer, BO wafter or weight dropper.

    When I/my workout partners come in, the guys get out of our way. They know which corner we're going to claim, and that we're going to be needing one of those incline benches, thanks. The guys who work there call us "The Power Rangers", and occasionally a guy will come over to ask a question or give admiring encouragement. I still haven't been asked for a "spot" yet, but I'm hopeful.

    I think it's great!
    It shows that this lady is one of the few - the 1%.

    Good for her:drinker:

    Not a single woman does at either of the gyms I use. One is a less serious, day to day gym with a decent weights section and the other is a pit of testosterone, steroids and steel. It's a shame, but both places are full of posers with twig legs.

    It'd be awesome to see some women folk doing it though. I have massive respect for women that do.

    I feel lots better now, considering I just moved over to weights this week. Thanks men for the encouraging words. It's VERY nerve wracking for a me to go over there!!
