Honestly, I wouldn't switch gyms. Other people's numbers have nothing to do with yours. As long as it has a rack/cage, a platform, bumper plates, a bench and some dumbbells you're golden.

some newbs are annoying af, setting benches and equipment up in the most space consuming way possible, having zero idea when you want to use what and how they could move, just generally being clueless

If you go to the average barbell club/oly lifting gym the women there can be absolutely beastly. Reminds me of that video where Mark Rippetoe is teaching the barbell row and has this female trainer there to demo, she rows a f*ck ton of weight (305?) for reps without breaking a sweat and Rippetoe's astonished.

The women atmy gymare by no definition beasts, lol. They just squat, DL, bench etc. is all I'm claiming. I'm just saying there are some strong women out there which is true, right?

Female lifters are hella annoying bro, why tf would you want more of them?

In squat rack for 30mins just to do 4 sets of 15. Doing all this obnoxious chit taking up too much room. I swear the only girls who go to the gym are looking for attention, wearing basically nothing and doing donkey kicks in the FUKING free weight area.

Either way, they don't last very long anyway. Probably only witnessed 1 girl over the last few yrs at my gym that stayed longer than 2 weeks. No discipline or desire at all.

Kimm4, I see plenty of women in my gym doing things like pullups, chinups, heavy squats, and deadlifts. I also see women who are extremely driven and competitive runners, swimmers, and triathletes.

Your attitude, however, SUCKS. You seem to have this need to be better than other women just because--what, you've made your career out of lifting and competing in bodybuilding? This is your JOB, right, your livelihood? You seem not to recognize that for most women, attaining substantial strength and muscularity is INCREDIBLY HARD. Most women are no lazier than most men.

Women have a harder time building strength and muscle than men do. BY A LOT. Is it any wonder that when we have to put in twice the effort for one-third the result, that we might choose a different pursuit? That more women may choose yoga or running than weights? It's what they're BETTER at. More men are better at building muscle and lifting weight. So the eff what? You're not special or better than the women who don't lift, ffs. And the women who do lift--if they don't meet your personal standards--they're still probably doing the best they can. Imagine if a bunch of women started up a thread mocking men for not doing cardio or having sh*tty flexibility. We could, actually, because that's more broadly true--that's not the gender's strength as a whole. But we don't, because misogyny is so much more common than misandry in our culture.

Look, I work my @ss off and still can't do a pullup. I plan to get there and I do plan to continue working on my lifts, but it's very, very hard for me. I can look over at my little brother and see that even though we follow a similar lifting program we get very different results, and I could use that as a reason to give up entirely, but I don't.

By the way, I can still outrun him, and I'm quite sure I could outrun you over just about any distance. We have different strengths, and women aren't dumb or lazy, and you're not special just because you chose to pursue a very narrow and particular sport that most women, incidentally, aren't naturally good at.

The reason I'm coming after you in particular is that this sanctimonious hostility is a general pattern of behavior on your part, and shame on you, because you should know better. But you do chit like go into someone's thread complaining that he felt overfull on Thanksgiving and said "I barely ate anything." And you come in here and go "lol I never see any strong women, look at me I'm speshul." This shows me that you very likely just have some sort of superiority complex.

But don't turn it into this sick self-hating misogyny, too.

There's some at my gym that have been going for years and do the same 2 exercises and stair climber and don't talk to anyone. They are there every single day at the same time too. It's weird brah

^Wowat the shesprints post above, a bit gobsmacked really. That really came from the heart and soul. Good god. Had to read it a few times it was so intense.

I really like kimm4 and don't want to play devil's advocate, but reps on spread for intensity.

LOL @ you continually editing this post to make it more emphatic.

Yes, this is a topic I feel deeply about. I think it's really wrong when women engage in this type of misogyny, running other women down instead of building them up. I also think it's wrong when men are casually misogynistic, but if I fought every battle on that front I'd never do anything else, unfortunately. A woman should really know better.

Yes, this is a topic I feel deeply about. I think it's really wrong when women engage in this type of misogyny, running other women down instead of building them up.
