Side Lunge (2z10): 8lbs - Hard!

EZ-Bar Bentover Row (3 sets - 15, 12, 10 reps): 8lbs - Need to increase weight
Front Pulldown (3 sets - 12, 12, 10 reps): 8 lbs: Do this at the gym next time.. using dumbells turns me into a klutz

Standing Dumbell Press (3 sets - 15, 12, 10 reps): 8lbs: Need to increase weight
Straight-Arm Dumbell Kickback (2x10): 8lbs: Need to increase weight

I spend a lot more time working on proper form when I am at home, and I put a lot of care into it. I look forward to working out when it's at home.. but at the gym.. not so much.

Hate to say it but I understand. As a woman you run into stuff guys don't. You have got to get tired of horndogs looking at ya in ways that I'm sure are at times offensive ... as well as other nonesense an atractive woman has to deal with in those situations that I can't even think of. As a guy I can just put my budds in my ears and ignore everyone as long as they stay outta my way.

Women do check out guys too but it doesn't get in the way and we kinda like that ...

brazeneye · 01-05-2007, 12:30 AM

I think girls are less likely to start a conversation with a guy, than a guy would with a girl.

Many many times, maybe everytime I try and use a machine, someone is right there asking me if I need help using it, or be shown how to use it (even if this person has seen me for many weeks using that machine, effortlessly).

I don't know of any in my area, but my gym is included in my school fees... But I think once I graduate from university, then I'll look into working out at a woman's gym. My school AND gym is 80% men.

Ahhh your at the student gym ... no wonder. You're right women don't often come up and start conversations. I see guys try it sometimes but I see the women get kinda pissed at 'em for it too. If I see someone I like I don't bother her in the moment ... I'll wait til she is on her way out the door if at all. If the eye contact is good that is ...

... alse wise I just go on home.

brazeneye · 01-05-2007, 12:46 AM

Yeah, if we don't look at anything but the machines, the screens on the cardio machines, back off.. get your own sandwich.

I really hate being approached at the gym.. I'm already out of my comfort zone, please don't make it any more harder for me

Maybe easy for you, but not the rest of america, otherwise we wouldnt be the number one overwight country in the world!!

Malley · 01-05-2007, 01:00 AM

Also I would never have a single thing to say to anyone in my gym. I have never started a conversation with someone at a gym other than, "are you done there?". Some people may think I am a dick, but whenever I am there its buisness. Now at a bar its a different story, but then again I am probably intoxicated at that point!

One you take away the emotional 'security' that you may have attached to food, and eat regularly and foods that make you feel good, and you learn to enjoy exercise and it becomes a way of stress relief and 'you time', then it's more a pleasure than a pain.

Exactly. We're all there to get something done. Sure it'd be great to make friends/date someone who has similar interests and they visibly making an effort to take care of themselves.. but honestly, take the time to approach me somewhere else.

Malley · 01-05-2007, 01:10 AM

Exercise is easily enjoyed. Everyone who knows me calls me that big guy who all he does is lift weights. But the diet isnt all that good some of the times. I seem to go on good months like 2-3 months at a time that I seem to do very well. Then have a few bad months, but as far as weights, I am nonstop at that. I always get the tremendous strength gains during my bad months though, so it works out well for me.

Most guys I know that are serious don't bother women at the gym. We all know you're there for the same reason we are ... and it's not to get a date. But still ... if I get the right look from a woman I can't help it I gotta bust a move somehow but I just can't do it unless we are on the way out at the same time. More respectful, more private ... and safer if I made a mistake.

But it's probably in those bad months that you claim back some of your sanity, because you're not watching what you eat so much.

Eating clean has been so easy for me, because I've eating this way, or at least try to, for a couple years, but haven't had the exercise and diet meet up at the same time.

Yeah, there is always some sort of exception, like if I notice someone, make eye contact and smile, and maybe keep sending my eyes his way while I'm in the gym. Then that's an open invitation. But when I appear focused and closed off...

A few years back whenever I went to a gym (instead of my garage), I was always approached by this older woman. Now keep this in mind, I was always into older woman, dont ask me why, but there was something about them. And especially this one, she was oh so sweet and very attractive. But the fact she always wanted to talk in the gym was a major turn off. We went out for drinks now and then, but after a while I simply had to switch gyms. The bottom line is I am there to get something accomplished and dont bother me, same goes for me with softball. I play softball on a amatuer/pro level and I hate whenever we have some women come to the game who are just trying to show their ass. They like to wear nice little skirts, which yes its nice, but they think they have to try and be the center of attnetion and some of the guys dont keep their mind on whats goin on. Our sponsors have came to many games and they dont appreciate it either. Our sponsors being easton and a few trump sponsors (these are big sponsors for softball). We lost our Easton sponsor, I think it had to do with an altercation they had with these women and the guy who was there to watch on. They never said anything about it, other than they were distasteful. Ok I rattled on for to long, sorry.

I do go insane if I am watching everything I eat. And with my wife not being one of those people who care, then yes its very hard.
