+ 4 To all you guys with "how much weight" egos

ad

Had to share this with you, I nearly pissed myself this morning at the gym. For the last month or so we've had a new lady training in our gym, nice Girl, GREAT physique, ex bikini now considerably more muscular and looking to do her first BB show this year. Been chatting quite a lot with her, (actually asked me to take her out to dinner as I don't wear a wedding ring, I was very flattered but wouldn't cheat on my wife, good for my ego though!), and have helped her with her training routine here and there.

This morning I was on a mission to blast through an intense workout. I'm off on holiday on Tuesday so trying to cram as much in as I can beforehand. Some lad was telling everyone how strong he was this morning doing flyes with 35Kg dumbells. Now this girl is used to training in hardcore iron works, (used Dorians temple gym for years), and doesn't take any shit from the lads. Whilst he was showing everyone his "not very deep flyes", our "new girl" walks over and says "I thought you said you were strong". She picks them up, smashes out a dozen DEEP reps, gets up and says "hows that big boy?" and walks off.

I swear I very nearly needed a change of underwear......

Love it.

Always cool to see a really buff woman. Especially when she deflates the egos of the wannabes, which is always good clean fun.

My 15 year old son is on the small side-- 5'2, 95 lbs. He also looks about 12. But man he has a blast making fun of the idiots swinging the weights doing curls.

He grabs two 60lb weights, goes right beside the idiot, who usually has 50's and starts swinging the weights like mad, going from behind the back to full curl position, laughing all the way through it.

Since he looks like just a kid messing around a lot of these guys don't even know they are being mimicked.

Hahaha.... sounds like you have been hanging out with suze....... mostly every day i see some guys eyes pop out when they see what she handles ...... shoulder pressing 100kg on the smith is the regular show stopper!.. talking 10reps for sets here not just 1 or 2 power shots, all without spotting too.

30kg D/bells for incline flyes is normal even when dieting.

Leg strength.... well! i wont even go there its frightening :/

Wow that is truly unbelievable! That must be a very strong woman. I'm at a loss for words. If I had seen a woman doing FLYS with 77lbs/35kgs I would have to go inspect the weights lol to see if they were real.

This young cat at the gym today seemed like he was trying to "teach" another guy how to use the row machine. Talking about how big he was in high school. He was jerking around looking like he was having a seizure. The guy he was showing however, had perfect form. When i was done with my preacher curls the young cat walked up to me and asked if that was all i could curl. His arms were like half my size and all i could say before i went soak in the hot tub was "It's quality, not quantity" then the other guy asked me if i could train him.

77 lb flys for a lady? Truly impressive. Really.

Bah! Form isn't that important.... It only matters if you want to get bigger or stronger. ;)
Lol, jk. I totally agree wit you... How about when you see dudes curling, throwing their back into it so hard their feet almost leave the ground...

I agree with you. I really don't care how much weight people can push, it's largely irrelevant. Always someone stronger. Especially amusing when you've got a big mouth and get made to look stupid though Smile

It was textbook as well mate. You know the type, tells everyone he's "big", in reality he's just a porker. If I wasn't married, she'd be wife material after that lol!
