Do you ever have people stare at you while lifting

[bigruff]

I don't think I have ever seen someone BB. Ohp in my gym.

That is sad...

I've only ever seen 2 other guys BB OHP at my gym and one of the blokes does them with an EZ curl bar lol... I guess it's the same movement :S

I guess that's probably why I get weird looks..

Lets just pretend you use the EZ bar to superset with curls

I get looks when I do push press.
Thankfully more people are squatting these days so it's not a big deal.

Haven't been able to DL heavy in months so I don't even remember if people stare

only when I wear my nerd tights lol

Excellent!
i think I can see the accretion disk of a black hole.

Not much of an astronomer, but is that close to Uranus?

had some peeps staring while I was doing my top set of squats today (190kg). Probably because it's so rare in our gym to see anyone doing more than 2 plates.

Always someone watching someone else in our gym lol. Thats just how it is.
Doesnt bother me in the slightest. Try lifting in a national PL comp...erry body in the room is watching...very intently. Haha.

even though i have squatted 150, i think if someone at my gym was squatting 190 i would have to observe, but from a distance as not to be off putting or obvious...

 

[bradsky]

I get it a bit more nowadays, I don't mind,

Think of it as a compliment....

tbh it felt pretty good, I usually look at anyone doing Olympic lifts or heavy deadlifts because it's also really rare to see.

 

[D1cko]

Deadlifts tonight, see if I get an audience lol

 

[canned tuna]

I get onlookers with deadlifts.. either from middle aged lifters who are worth talking to or young dudes who just stare. I'm moving under four plates but maybe the kids are dumbfounded I do it for 30 minutes LOL

I used to get watched in the man-pit at my old commercial gym. Was just weird hairy dudes mostly.

 

[Arfwit]

If I saw someone lifting big I would watch, for the same reason I watch professional sport, Olympics etc. You can learn from someone better than you, and be inspired by someone trying harder than you. Plus its cool to see heavy shit get moved.

 

[chocchillimango]

Agree, [MENTION=1719]whitty[/MENTION];

i love watching the guys at my gym lift. It's good to train where there are people better than you/trying harder as it does make you feel more motivated to do better and there is heaps to learn.

Plus I find the guys who stare/watch while I'm lifting are usually the PL/strongman boys at the gym and they are always encouraging and great.
Most of them love the fact that there are gals lifting.
I'm easily the most petite person in the whole gym so I probably get bonus points LOL

 

[Timeah]

Yep. The strongman guys in our gym watch almost all of us every set...and offer a critique etc aftee every set. As well as screaming at you during! Hahaha
