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.

QUOTE(Dharmain @ Jul 27 2011, 10:21 AM) Those are pretty impressive stats there. I bet you can push the squats more I know i could definately do more but squats and presses are too scary with no spotter. I dont wanna risk injury. Here's hoping you find a training partner soon  |

QUOTE(Dharmain @ Jul 27 2011, 11:49 AM) 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 yeah if you could bring me in, I dont mind! PM me!. 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 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?. But i still would like to look for a workout partner in TF Jaya33. |

QUOTE(-Dan @ Jul 27 2011, 02:41 PM) I think you've given some people a good lesson about not jumping to conclusions too quickly. If i only have someone around to help take a video..... LOL For the squats, so long as your form is right, adding weight (within your capability, of course) shouldn't be a problem. Try looking for videos on proper form for squats, ie Mark Rippetoe's videos, or even take a video of your squat to get some C&C on your form. I know i could add more since on a hack squat i could go 200lbs and and leg press 360lbs. It's my brain that's stopping me. I've seen horror videos of accidents while squating and i guess have been quite a chicken since :S |

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Jul 27 2011, 11:19 PM) I think I know raynx. I saw you today, while the f***ed up Thai kickboxing noisy shit was going loco and pissing all the regular members off. I had no mood to do cardio with all that noise. Yes darklight, we see each other in the gym very often I hate to say this but Sheldon88 has a point. Lol, a female lifter is still a lifter no matter what. They'd like it if you treated like one of the guys. No special attention or heaps of praises are needed. She wants a workout partner, not an admirer or oggler. And thank you for pointing out that i dont need all the attention. Like i said, if I can't find a female workout partner, a guy would do fine as well. So any taker pls pls pls pls pls? You can only lift to a certain extent alone, work limited muscle groups with machines and it's definately safer with a partner. |

QUOTE(Kyogezsho @ Aug 18 2011, 09:29 AM) raynx : can u tell me your workout schedule maybe we could train together, i always train alone most of the time and i cant do much without a spotter as i m prone to injuries by nature thus its always safer to have someone spot me. Hello Kyogezsho! I usually train on mondays, wednesdays, thursdays and 1 more day during the weekends. on weekdays i would be at TF Jaya33 and weekends at TF Taipan USJ. Usually would at the Jaya33 gym by around 6:30 - 6:45 pm depending on the traffic. I'll be going today and would be doing my back. Wanna join? i workout almost 3-4 times a week on different times tho perhaps if timing is right then we can have some sessions together i dont lift that heavy tho i m more focused on form but should be able to match your stats |
