On elite fitness message board. Open your eyes.

i know that much but its just weird the internet seems to be full of em and in real life i dont know any

 

[BuffChick77]

your looking in the wrong place - most of us are in the back of the gym slamin around free weights!!!

 

[Gladiola]

You work out at one of those retirement home/spa clubs?

I haven't seen ladies train hard at my fru-fru tennis club (I am the FREAKY strong chick there!) - but I have seen it elsewhere. Even my boyfriend has seen it at his Gold's.

I've mentioned to him that I've considered bodybuilding & he talks about these chicks at his Gold's who make me look wimpy - much more muscular, leaner, & stronger. He's such a sweetie.

Living in FL my gym has quite the mixture. During the day there are loads of senior citizens and house wives, late afternoon there are a lot of younger adults lifting after school lets out, early evening is a combo mostly average people coming in after work but there are some very serious people too - including women who have put years of hard work into their bodies, after about 8pm it's more hard core, after 10pm it's odd balls like me. LOL I don't know what the morning crowd is like...I do NOT do mornings!

I work out in a gym that is only like 70 m2.
it only has about 130 members
and only 1 employee at a time

its based around free weights and belts, wraps, shirts, chains chalk and straps are at hand. they play very loud very hard energetic music.

all the material is old.

Even in such a small gym ive seen some very impressive lifts
300 kg deadlift (661 lbs) raw by a bodybuilder
250 kg raw bench (551 lbs)

we still have a lot of curl jockeys and people doing non existing high rep bullshit exercises, but the real people are definetely there.

now i think about 15% of members is female and none of them lift heavy on compound movements, have low bf or are very strong.

My boyfriend and I train waaaaaay back in the corner of our gym. It's a former warehouse, so it's huge. There's a platform in the corner (with bumper plates) and that's where we usually are. Performing power cleans, deads, squats, etc. The only time we travel to the main floor is when it's bench day. We're more into "explosive power" than anything else.

Most chicks that train "heavy" prefer to concentrate on training and not draw any attention to themselves. That way they can train undisturbed.

Probably why you very rarely notice them.

 

[valerie]

You must be blind! I'm there at least 3/week, I'm the little old lady who chased you out of the squat rack for doing bb curls. Damn it I hate it when I have to do that. We don't try to bring attention to ourselves we just lift and lift heavy, and get the heck out of the gym. Open your eyes we are everywhere-valerie

How about...

changing gyms???

Seriously, if you're looking for the babes you need to go where they train..but don't bother them when they are lifting!!! Catch them at a good time.

"I'm the little old lady who chased you out of the squat rack for doing bb curls. "

Hey now. I would never ever use the squat rack to curl.
its so sad when people do that

 

[makedah]

I see strong women in my gym. Never seen a single one of them do deadlifts, bench presses or free squats, though. (Smith machine squats, you betcha!)

 

[Cheetarah]

That doesn't surprise me. Since I've been lifting, I've lifted in 3 different gyms and in only ONE of them is there ANY women who lift like I do. Most of them just do light weights, high reps, and lots of cardio. Every once in a while one of them will ask me how I got such toned arms or how I got my abs, etc. I then get the pleasure of educating them on training and diet.

HEARD THAT!

 

[2Shy]

I hardly ever see any other woman on the free weights. Occasionally, one will hit the Smith machine. A couple will pick up the 10-lb. dumbbells.

OTOH, I see tons of men benching and curling, but STILL hardly any of them squatting or deadlifting.

OMG! there are so many woman body builders in my gym!!!

Friscochick, I work out at the local Y. It's not that bad, I guess. You get a lot of yuppies (am I aging myself when I use that term?) and seniors there plus now that school's in session a lot of high school kids. Oh, and cardio bunnies. There are a few guys who look like they put effort into it, though I know a lot of them work out at Gold's and slum at the Y. lol

I shouldn't complain, though. The Y was willing to work with membership fees when we got laid off earlier this year. I doubt anyplace else would have.

I did see a kid try and kill his mom on the squat rack the other day, though.

LOL you are too funny!

um, well that is right... ya know, at least you HAVE a place to workout.. and it should be totally about your workout, YOUR time to rock.... but i see your point.. its no fun walking to the water cooler and not seeing any eye candy!

LOL

cheer up Sweetheart.. maybe you can find a better gym when things look up!

I go to 24 hr fitness, its a huge california chain. I would LOVE for it to be less packed sometimes..

to not have to do supersets all during the week, cause it's so damn busy!!!

 

[circusgirl]

I'm lucky, my gym has lots of heavy female lifters. All the university sports teams work out there. THis includes the ladies' soccer, swimming, ice and field hockey, and rugby teams. There are still more guys than girls, but I'm not the only one. There are a few women who do OL on the school team and about 4 who are serious PLers. Quite a few STRONG BBing ladies too.

I'm on the East Coast (not Florida), and I never see women like me. I'm always the freaky chick with the abs hogging the free rack. I've jumped around from gym to gym too, and still feel like a loner. :-(

I think you have to go to Cali or Florida to see a decent quantity of women really lifting. Totally jealous, FriscoChick!

but your the kind im talking about. theres none of that in my town.

Women like you around the gym would just be very motivating and id have something to do in between sets too since im doing this low volume thing with long rests
