getting funny looks in the gym....

strange looks

The worst looks/behavior comes from other females!! At least in my neck of the woods.
Needless to say I'm a big girl (check out www.firejock.com click on the little maltese cross in the bottom corner, that's me in the back double bi pose 5'9", 175) I've had 'ladies' remind me about the location of the men's room, or sneer and walk off in a huff. True, I'm a far cry from a fairy princess (hence the name duchess... I had to work to become roalty!!) but I'm far from the roughest looking chick in the gym. It's been the story of my life though. By the time I was 14, I had grown to my present hight and weighed 192lbs. Oh well, as they say," if it was easy everybody would be a champ."

I'm the only female at my gym who deadlifts, so I'm getting used to the stares. The worse part is when people keep peeking their heads around the corner to see who's making all that noise. It gets a little distracting.

You can only imagine the looks i get doing pull throughs in a GAY gym.
The other day doing speed squats my briefs blew ,ripping clean open ( good thing i had shorts on over them.)You could probably hear it accross the gym. A set later a guy says " let me know if you need a spotter ". OoooKkk i'll keep that it mind.

Speaking of pull-throughs...

I was doing pull-throughs today. and an older gent (60+) saw me. By the shocked and nervous look he gave me, you'd think I was doing something obscene! Hey buddy, I'm just thrusting back and forth with my hands between my legs... As it turns out, he had to use the machine right in front of me, so everytime I pulled (and thrusted) I had to look up right at him. (I ended up looking at the floor, the ceiling, etc.) THAT was awkward!

I'm sure that people have several reasons for staring at me in the gym. (For one, I tend to wear these two Wheel of Fortune t-shirts a co-worker gave me!) So, I don't know if they're looking at me just because I'm dragging an aerobic step and lifts into the squat cage!

Duchess - DAYUM, girl!

What is it with pull throughs? We get the same thing if we do them in a "fitness center."

hey Spatts, just looked at your pics in the gallery...very nice but you can't possibly weigh 170 in those pics (i thought that's what you said your weight was). i just seen the preview ones, are they pre-contest?

You wouldn't be the first to tell me I don't look like I weigh what I do.
