...also helps to see what machines they use and how they use 'em. wink

I stick mostly with the free weights, it gives me better results. Only time I use machines are for lat/tricep pulldowns, leg press and rows. On bench press, squats & dead lifts, I want the challenge of controlling the weight.

...I haven't gathered the nerve to step into the free weights area, which I like to call the "Prison Rec Yard". Some of the dudes in there are monstrous!

So? Get in there and do your thing! Don't worry about anyone else. And don't try to lift more than you can handle. Form is the key, otherwise you're not working the muscle correctly.

I see so many cats at the gym lift more than they should. Their form sucks, but they think they're doing something.

But I did get punished for my actions - circus lady worked out on the treadmill directly in front of me pissed

I mean really, who works out in a toxic blast of perfume, full makeup, big hoop earrings & baby hair @ 7am?? whofarted

& she did all her nonsense too, even took off her vest just to twist it around & put it right back on - in my best Pauly looking @ the cat, "DA FUCKKKKK????" hmm

at least she wasnt in jeans, coughing and shit. evil

Oh my god, I've gone in jeans before falloff

.....but they were those stretchy jeans, and I went there spontaneously.

I should soon go back to the gym, reading this thread has made me somewhat self-concious in advance.

Hey you fellas, I'm still (u don't remember do you?) not smoking. How about you Renegade, did you bite the bullet and look withinand stop smokin'.

Has anybody here ever embarassed themselves at the gym or are we all only the victims of embarassing people?

I have embarassed myself more than once....my foot slipped off the elliptical and I pretty much killed myself....I've taken that unexplained slow stride on the treadmill in interval mode and wiped out..

I just picked up a new thing from a girl on the machine next to me - when she's on the elliptical she doesn't hang on EVER. She keeps her arms close to her body w/ her hands together - maybe elementary to everyone else but she's working her core the whole time from the twisting motion & keeping balance. I don't think I can encorporate that on the elliptical (it's all I can do to stay on that thing for an hour) but I do it on the treadmill afterward.

I'm still trying to figure out the deal w/ going BACKWARD on the elliptical - does it work your butt/back of the thigh more? Seems like forward is more about front thigh & calf... hmmm

Using it backwards uses more of the hamstring and butt.

My only beef at the gym is when someone stands in the spot I always stand in the aerobics studio. There's this one muscle girl who I swear does this shit on purpose to me. That's why I accidentally on purpose sprayed hairspray in her face in the locker room one day. evillol
