I remember the first time i went to my first proper gym.... i really wanted to lift real weights but i was scared to go because id already looked round and been told i was basically gonna be the only woman there. Also it was a very alpha gym full of juicers and minor gangsters.

Anyway my desire to lift overcame my fear. I went and it was fine....i soon became like their mascot and everyone was so helpful. in fact they pushed me really hard, they treated me like a guy lifter and i think that was good for me.

I dont go to that gym anymore (new manager made it suck after the old one got arrested for selling celltech and growing weed in the back room) but i occasionally go back and they all miss me lol aw

It depends. If you bring a date and she actually takes it srs it's pretty awesome, plus she'd get to mire your lifts and help boost your testosterone with her presence.

But yeah, I admit I've had a few annoying gym buddies and on a daily basis prefer to lift alone.


@Melis yay sprint crew! with that leg development I'm honestly not surprised you have a track background.

True. Although times are changing, it's full of poverty fitness science still
Nope. Can’t do pull-ups anyway.

To answer your other question about being athletic in HS. I did cross country for 3 years and dance team all 4 years. I think most female lifters have an athletic background. All the ones I know did some sort of sports in HS.
They said she's gone too far this time

I had a strong lifting backround before I joined a gym. I was lifting at 15 in the high school weight room. The problem was the gym I wanted to join at the time didn't allow females.

You are probably 1% of the female population that'd been genuinely interested in weightlifting and bodybuilding

Joke's on you, mixed netball in the UK is a great place to meet women.

I don't even really know the rules, I just go to expand my social circle and mingle with mid 20s, glowful, athletic, yoga leggings wearing hotties.

Thanks sweetie.

OP, it's a shame that you can't have an intelligent conversation with a woman who knows lifting without resorting to insults. I was going to actually post a serious response after my joke.

Legs I think you’re a sweet little lady and all. But don’t take misc too seriously.

We all come at each other here. I think this is the first time in a month that OP and I exchanged words that aren’t mean. It’s all for shyts and giggles. If you kee reacting this way, people will keep insulting you bc it’s entertaining.

How do people even go about lifting with other people? it's annoying as fuk, you don't even follow the same routine, and if you do you don't use the same weight which makes things even more annoying if there's a limited availability of benches / racks

The biggest reason average sloot doesn't hit the gym is....
1. lack of knowledge of the facility and equipment
2. being stared at oogled
3. too tired after work
4. messing up hair+ nails+ fashion
5. doesn't like the feeling/pain/sweating
6. not fun/enjoyable like other activities( mall)

This is the short list i have heard from friends and family.

Trust that I can take the heat. and see the end of my post where I said I was going to post a serious response after my joke post.

Seriously, there are multiple reasons females don't hit the gym. Fear of not knowing what they're doing, being intimidated by the gym rats (or what looks like gym rats) and fear of getting big muscles. I tell girls/women all the time to stop doing all the cardio and lift some weights and the response I get every time is "but I'll get huge". Sigh...... drives me nuts.
