No - people just need to learn some manners and gym etiquette.
aw it took me a minute or 2 to catch on!
She had a really big stomach though! Is that because she has fat aswell as muscle? Coz it looked quite solid. Also she had quite big muscles between her neck and shoulders, which are not nice at all!
On a side note I was thinking of maybe doing a yoga class. I've never considered it before because I thought it was a waste of time but I guess it would be beneficial alongisde training?
I haven't been to the gym since last thursday because it was birthday weekend then I've been ill with gastroentiritis
This is so true!
Sometimes the gym staff are worse. They will take up equiptment just to sit and chat to someone it does my head in! Also I hate when people can clearly see you are are using like a weight machine YET they still stand there for the next 10 minutes waiting and giving you evils till you have finished!! It annoys the hell out of me. If I see someone is on something I want to use then I will use something else till they have finished. Some of the big beefy blokes are the worse they can be quite intimidating too
And another thing, why do people take magazines into the gym?! If you are going to read stay at home!
*Breaths* Rant over :yes:
It looked like fat, although given that she lifts really heavy, I'd imagine she'd be eating to match that, so her calories going in are far more than the ones going out, probably made more prominent given that she was doing the hoopla, I know my stomach tends to stick out a bit when doing things like that. That set of muscles did look quite big in that shot, but I'm more inclined to think it was her posture as it didn't really seem as prominent in other parts.
Give yoga a go, I find it quite relaxing. To get to the stage where it can be really effective in terms of resistance, you'd have to get to quite an advanced level, but I found it helped my flexibility.
Don't get me started on gym manners
The more I think about it, the more I want to do that long Crossfit seminar, but it doesn't look like they're currently doing the Workout on Sunday that they used to do..? :chin:
I am really wanting to get to those too.
Nothing matched your search? BAH! :grump: I am extremely curious as to what you search parameters were...! I had 14 results for one, and 50 for another. Some look to be pretty good, others not quite what I am looking for. Gonna give some of them a go.
Well :razz: to you then!
I want to add weight on to my dead lifts but I'm finding that before I finish my reps I'm starting to lose my grip.
If you google, there are articles on it too.
I'll probably need to start from scratch on my journey towards pull ups.
The same at my gym..it's been closed all week and doesn't ope till saturday :crying: I feel lost!
Though hopefully will be going to my friends gym tonight..if she doesn't bail again on me :rolleyes:
I asked him about the leg press and he finished my sentence about how squats are better so I will be doing them from now on with a medicine ball.
Also I asked about the powerplate because I had a feeling they were just a fad and he agreed and said I'd be better doing my crunches using some weights although I can keep the side plank on there. To be fair to the powerplate, I can totally feel it on my abs as soon as I start doing the situps on there so it is working in that way but I think its crap for squats etc.
