Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Do any of you see this? I totally don't get it. The other day I was doing barbell curls and was looking for a pair of 2.5's and I see that they are on the squat bar and a woman is squatting with them. C'mon, 50 lbs? It was pretty easy for her, I don't know why couldn't have used 10's at least. I was curling about 175 percent of what she was squatting, thats ridiculous. You always see women using those 5 lb dumbells for 100's of reps at a time. I guess they are afraid of "getting too manly" or something. If they can't use heavier weight thats fine but I think they could work a little harder. Maybe its just the girls at my gym.

My best friend, female, squats hard and laughs at the weenie women in the gym. She isn't greatly strong, but she greatly wants to be and works hard to get there. She learned well from me

yeah phem that is impressive! way to go hard! I have to catch up!
I also laugh at those girls.
You know what makes me confused is that ever since I started working out, I never did that. I was trying to go as heavy as possible from the start. A little too heavy sometimes and my technique suckes. I guess that's my competitive and aggressive side.

I don't sweat.... i glisten
(okay i glisten like a pig hehe)tv - you'll get there... i've got a lot of squatting under my belt... used to squat around 250 once upon a time... that was with a belt... now no belt... and coming off of my ab injury, i'm really babying these puppies... just starting to get some weight on that bar...
bfold - yeah, and some day i'll be able to flip over cars and stuff... i've seen those pics... i think you could probably squat me squatting 225 and then some.... hehe
they be toning
actually a lot of women think a few weeks in the gym intensly working out translates to chyna ala WWF size....a fair amount of men folk over here do too (i used too)
a friend of mine said she wants to be careful as she doesnt want to get too muscular, but wants to get a little bigger, or fatter....she then asked why i was laughing so hard (and inwardly reminded of the fact that im stil not growing fast enough )..
women that lift heavy weights command muchos respect from me as they did it with their hormones as opposed to ours...no mean feat. so little is known over here about working out.... find that quite odd really
