[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, I'm almost always one of a few women lifting, and I don't care. I know what I'm doing, unlike most of the others there. So long as they don't hog all the squat racks, it's fine.[/quote]

That's great for you but you get that not everyone feels that confident right?  And that not everyone else knows what they are doing, if they are just starting out.[/quote]

what's your point.

- another woman that lifts weights.[/quote]

[b]Another woman in the weight room here. Then get professional instruction so you know more than them.  The only problem I ever have in the weight room is the occasional idiot trying to give me "pointers". Generally their advice is bad (and given by not-in-shape guys).  If you know what you are doing, it shows and no one will think anything of you being there. [/b][/quote]

First PP quoted:  Exactly.  Thank you.

Sure, I get that not everyone feels that confident, but you won't get that confidence without (a) learning how to lift and then (b) actually lifting.  I've been lifting for over 20 years, it didn't happen overnight.  If you're just starting out, you really do need instruction, same as you would with pretty much anything.  But I think it's very true that if you know what you're doing and feel confident about that, guys in the weight room will typically leave you alone.  Unless they're jerks, in which case you nod and say, "got it," and carry on.[/quote]
