because i am a GIRL! demmit XD

I do wish to workout with the big guys but i dont wanna be a hindrance coz i cannot lift as heavy as them but i lift heavier than most average guys. I could at least carry my own bodyweight for all compound exercises.

so far this is what i could do but cant push any further;

bench press: at least 50kg
chin up/pull up: not assisted/bodyweight could probably max out 8-10 reps
deadlift: 80kg
rows: at least 50kg
squat: at least 50kg
dips: not assisted/bodyweight can go for 20 reps
bicep curls: 50lbs

if you big guys dont mind to keep taking out and putting back plates for every single thing, then i am cool with it.

Those are pretty impressive stats there. I bet you can push the squats more smile.gif
Here's hoping you find a training partner soon

I know i could definately do more but squats and presses are too scary with no spotter. I dont wanna risk injury.

Use the smith machine.. keep your back straight. Move in a controlled manner. Focus on your thighs not your back when you squeeze up. And most importantly... don't look down smile.gif. If you have a training belt that would help a bit...

I notice you deadlift 80 kg. That there shows that you have a pretty strong back and core. My 2 cents... go for it. Slowly try adding the weights on yer squats.. pretty soon you'll have something new to rave about.

Seeing a lady doing this... wow.. Most of us here are definitely proud of you smile.gif I'll be honoured to train with you, unfortunately I'm not a true fitness member. Having a DJ in the weights area is just wrong!!!... has anyone flung a dumbbell at the fella yet?

I'm usually at Axis PJ. Hey, I can bring people in during the weekends.. Care for a weekend Legs Blast?.

You can train with me if we happen to be doing the same bodypart. But everytime you see me lift you start shaking your head. Just ask to join, I'm not some crazy *******. =)

Then we got the bunch of retards following the class and screaming away thinking they're so cool and acting like real kickboxers. Lame. They should use the money for maintenance of the machines and weights, not promoting some stupid shit.
I have a healthy respect for Thai kickboxing but that wasn't the real deal.

Ya knoe.. I've been practising martial since I was a kid and every time I pass by or see one of those 1+1 muah tai kickboxing thinggy that some of the pt's would conduct. I just feel sorry for the guy taking it up. Their form is never corrected. Its not even in the same league as the real deal. Guys, if you're seriously thinking about martial arts.. enrol yourself in a school where the master has a good number of years experience behind him.. Not one of these martial crap that sells so well in fitness centers.

I knoe this off topic.. but seriously... Instead of promising good health, These classes do nothing but promise false hopes unwanted injuries sad.gif
