finally joined a gym

Carmen

Elite Mentor
Platinum
"synergy"
good music, air conditioning, toilet paper (when you don't have it, you miss it), TONS of hammerstrength machines and those other machines. good free weights and this cool rubber floor.
(my old gym that i was a member at for years till they finally just gave me the key, shut down)
they only have one bench downstairs with the dumbells and 2 more upstairs with more dumbells and the circuit training stuff, but thats ok. at least they are there.
the people at the front desk were happy to have me there and gave me a great price (under $20 a month if i don't tell anyone my price since its usually $500 for the year). I saw some people from my old gym who wants to have me lift with them- a HUGE guy from england who just growls and grunts but he's polite to me, but even if i don't- there is always a trainer there to spot.
now i'm too tired to post my workout, but basically i benched 145 x 5 x 2 and 135 x 7, plus a whole bunch of aux. stuff on all these new machines.
:-)
it was cool.
btw, i have been working out, just on a free basis at a few local gyms cause my workout partner and i ended up knowing so many people that we got in free everywhere. my regular one shut down a few weeks ago so i haven't been consistant at all- i think the last time i benched was 2 weeks ago. i posted this on the training board, but its slow there.
 
happy lifting.

I'm pretty sure you bench more then SoreArms.

Just wanted to rub it in some more.

Luckily I can bench a lot more then that (but far less then most).

i think most guys can bench more than me, but i guess thats ok.
there were two women using the hammerstrength machines in the basement of the gym today, so at first i thought "oh GOOD... i'm not the only woman" as i'm loading 45s onto the chest press.
then i saw they weren't putting any plates on the machines!

:worried:
 
you're definitely hardcore.. and bench more then many guys I know!

are they pre-teen?
lol.
thanks. i'm always surprised when guys talk to me in the gym. i'm soooo not looking good when i'm there.
between the grunts of my lifts, and usually some faded tshirt, and the fact that i sweat like a garden hose, i look over at some dainty girl on the treadmill in her velour sweatsuit and wonder why anyone is even near me.

true dat maing, but I'm drinking milk!

ok, sorearms... what do you bench?
 
my max was 225, then I got a tendon tear and am working my way back up, I did two sets of 195 last week (one for 5, the other for 3). I've never tried 1rm's or any of that stuff though. I'm such a girly girl :worried:
 
good. From your previous posts I thought you were a P-lifter or something. You seemed really hardcore. Still great weights. good luck.

Shhh don`t tell anyone about the $20 you pay.
