The Barbelles Society: Ladies Who Lift

I did some lifting today, just dumbell stuff on the swiss ball, gone up to the next weight too which is cool. I was hoping as it was a Sunday the freeweight area might be quiet so I could try out using a barbell, but no, still full (in fact the entire gym was empty except the guys in the freeweights!)

If you want the gym to be empty then go in the mornings. I've been the only person in the free weights room a load of times in the mornings.

Just go the minute it opens at the weekend and there will be plenty of space...

We've gone quiet, guys and dolls.

I've not been to the gym all week. Can't work out whether that's a good thing, as I've been ill and my elbows have been pretty fragile... I can only assume that's from lifting, and I'l feel better after the rest, or if it's gona have a negative effect this week... let's hope not. Also, what do you all do on none lifting days? I suppose picking up the iron cardio again would be a good idea - as usual I forget I ever started doing this But it might be fun to add something else in on these days, if any would like to share ideas?

Have you been benching and overhead pressing a lot? I find my elbows get sore if I do, and I've found that doing some bicep curls really strengthens and eases the soreness.

I normally say curls for the girls (as it attaining) but in your case I can let you off being a metro male ha ha

Are you saying I am manly?

Ha ha more so than me!!!

I can be quite girly when I want to

But right now I am going to the gym to be manly

Ha ha do it! Its only modern socioty that labels it as manly, personally I find it hot as hell! More women should do it!

I did and it was awesome! Only an easy/practice session though, but still.

I think I will officially be manly when I can do one full pullup.

buns of steel!

A machine is a device that uses energy to perform some activity. In common usage, the meaning is that of a device having parts that perform or assist in performing any type of work. A simple machine is a device that transforms the direction or magnitude of a force.

I managed my 100kg deadlift again this morning so happy.

Really need to improve my squat loads tho.
