I really hate it when I see girls in the gym putting 5lbs on a machine and "lift weights". You're not doing anything. Go home and come back when you are ready to exersize.
At least they're taking the effort to get to the gym and do something.
Yeah. Assuming they're not being jerks or something, I don't see what the problem is.
only time can tell, fakes end up doing nothing but 5 lbs after a year, real ones star with 5 lbs and end up lifting higher weights (don't ask me how much) and with those hot curvy bodies that we all like
fun to watch, make you work harder. girld in the gym may provide a positive effect \
you could always think they are doing that for endurance training. but then again they not knowing what they are doing is more likely.
Damn..I think OP is referring to me.
On the machines I'll do 10-15 kg..depends what machine.
But for dumbbells I'll use 2kg or less.
My guy friend told me to use smaller weights and do them alot of times if I wanted tone, but not hulky muscles.
I just started going this year, and I still find it intimidating cos I don't know if it's just me, but it always feels like someone's watching in our gym.

By lot's it could be 4~6 series of 20~40 repetitios? That's about it to get endurance and stamina, also your muscles will be defined but will be ratter small. I guess that's what most womans want, no?
women usually have no strenght :P
when i do flying with dumbells, i use 2-3kg
when i do biceps i use 8-10kg dumbells and
benching 30+n kg
squatting 40-50kg
and i am a girl and most definitely i stare guise in the gym :3
I'll agree that exercise of any kind (except perhaps the dangerous and excessive) is better than none at all, but there does come a point where you are not challenging yourself at all and you are only going to the gym to waste time.
Since you're there anyway, you might as well get something out of it. Unless you are atrophied to the point of near death, curling 2kg isn't going to do much for you... that's like picking up a stapler at work.
I know the thought of working out sucks. You are effectively torturing yourself to make yourself stronger. It sucks to crawl home sweaty and tired, and to go to work sore the next morning. Such is the price for having people want to secks you.
>>10 hahaha i disagree..
being sweaty and such feels good.. getting tired is awesome too.. it gives you deep awesome sleeps and u know, the soreness next day just makes you laugh.. cuz this kinky ache is just making you smile. u know you have been working hard and moving your sore legs to step stretch your face to :3 :P
yah, I gotta agree, afterwards, don't you just have to think, "man that wasn't too bad" and "wow, I was able to push myself farther today" ? That is, at least, what I think should be striven for. (unfortunately, those are my hardest days =)
Women shouldn't lift to much, then they'll get all bulky. I think they should stick with very little weight with a lot of reps and focus more on cardio and a flat stomach.

NO DON'T TELL THE WOMENS
If they get strong HOW WILL WE OPEN JARS FOR THEM OMG

Indeed, this is quite a good point.

Most women can't get bulky. They lack the hormones men have that help build muscle. Very, very few women can put on a lot of muscle mass no matter how much time they spend in the gym.
This is not to say they can't get toned and increase their overall level of fitness. But their arms aren't going to bulk up like Mr. Universe's.
Guys, women don't get "bulky" if they lift a lot of weight. It's a silly but common misconception started, probably by women, to keep us weak and "delicate" so that guys can still dominate us in strength. It's takes way more effort for woman's muscles to even show much less get "bulky". It doesn't take steroids to achieve, but it does take a crap-load of work, more work than really necessary, and is easily reversed if not constantly up-kept on the daily.
Sorry, I meant *probably my men.
Oh you, silly goose!
>>1 what's wrong with a woman strong enough to crack a walnut with her butt cheeks.
that being said, there is a definitedifference between being toned or "fit" and being ciompletely jacked. and anyone who looks like their muscles are making an escape attempt are most likely taking hormones and\or steroids.
but i think athletic and\or fit women are the hotest.
