girls-deadlifts/squats

I know exactly what you mean.

I hide in the girls section at my gym so I save myself the embarrassment. Ive only been out in the main section once with my bf doing weights, and it was so embarrassing. Everyone was staring while he was showing me how to do deadlifts for the first time, I did like 1 sets and then a whole pile of guys came and sat on a machine right behind me (cause 4 guys need to use 1 machine right). I felt so self-conscious that i did my 2nd set and then went off back to the girls section as i felt so uncomfortable.

On a good note, im now deadlifting 4lifts of 90kg. horray!

good work! how long did it take you?
my old gym was very pathetic..it had a "Female section" but it barely had any weights for you to practice proper deadlifts/squats.. didnt have a platform, didnt have free weights that matched or were big enough, they only had a few fixed barbells. This gym had alot of roidy kinda guys downstairs so there was no way i was going to walk in there cos these guys were sleazy and would look as you like i was seeking attention..
in fact the only time i walked in there was when i saw a guy drop $20 so i followed him there to give it back to him and everyone was staring at me ahaha
so i changed to my uni gym.. and although there is only one main weights section at least the guys are normal looking

ps yeah i know how guys come up to the machine behind you.. its awkward when they just stop and blatantly stare at my boyfriend lol i tell him they want his c*ck and then he gets all awkward when they come near him ahah

Well when you take in under 20g of carbs a day i do feel you cant go as heavy, still trying to though.
And i love getting shredded too :)
 
i should start a log instead of posting on here constantly but yay i got a 70 kg deadlift tonight :) and 60kg squats for 3 for 2 sets, varry proud of myself
 
Girls normally focus to enhance their chest size, this is the reason that they have low need of the workout. On the other hand boys want to enhance the size of the whole body that is necessary for the bodybuilder.
