getting funny looks in the gym....

[latinus_spicticus]

i get stared at all the time in the gym...probably cuz im just teeny tiny and lift more than most of the men in there. i've even had free weights thrown at me! i put it down to "one inch penis syndrome" giggles

Um...you've had free weights thrown at you? What the hell did you do when that happened? Unless you are a joker, that is a potentially fatal situation. If some numbnut discussed a 25 lb plate and it hit me in the temple I would probably die or suffer a severe concussion (believe me, I've had many and it is not a comfy thing). I cannot believe that shit. If I ever saw anyone throwing free wieghts at anyone else, unless it was a mutual thing, I would throw down right there. Even if were Tank Abbott or Tito Ortiz, I would start scrapping with thier sorry asses immediately if I saw them throwing weights at someone, especially a female, and a small one at that (I don't think anyone with half a brain would mess with a woman like spatts). Did you call the cops on these guys who threw the weights at you, or what? This has nothing to do with dick size, this is a pure stupidity thing that has potentially fatal consequences. Jesus Christ, either I need a reality check or I need to start the beatings ASAP.

I'm usually stared at. Since most everyone has seen me train (at 5am), its not so bad anymore, but for a while, nobody had seen a deadlift before. And they'd be staring at all the things i keep pulling out of my gym bag.

One day a woman i train with sees the bar i'm using for deadlifts and says, "is that CHALK on the bar?"
I said, "yeah, why?"
she said, "you are SO anal- marking the bar where your hands are supposed to go??"
She thought the chalk was my hand placement guide. ugh.

Hand placement...

Latinus, I got the image that maybe someone eas tossing a DB at POD...rather than hading it to her, or something like that. I'd like to hear more about that too. That's messed up. I wouldn't expect anyone to do that to me, irrespective of size, just out of common decency. For the record, I think POD is alot bigger than me.

 

[princessofdarkness]

You think it's a whole inch?

sometimes you have to give them the benefit of the doubt.......ha ha ha ha ha

Spatts, Princess is Canadian, probably thinking in centimeters. He he.

Real men are not intimidated by strong women. Unfortunately there is a sad dearth of real men in this world.

millimeters my sweets, millimeters

[spatts]

Oh yeah...I'm going with a millimeter on THAT one.

 

[Hannibal]

Damn this is an intimidating thread....so many strong woman. Just wanted to point out that we don't use the metric system in the States...it's not millimeters

Funny Looks...

Last week I was squatting very heavy. I finished a heavy set of triples and began posing and flexing in the mirror. It was at that point that I realized that everyone in the gym had stopped training and they were staring at me. My first thought was that the oil I had applied prior to training was uneven in its' application (very tacky). However, to my great shock, the hot pink speedo that I wear while training had "ridden up" and my ass cheeks were fully exposed. Needless to say, I was thoroughly embarrased. From this point forward, I will never squat heavy without taping my hot, pink speedos first. The shame...
