So I was at the gym today and I wanted to use a particular machine, but there happened to be some skinny girly chick using it. No problem, I moved on to another machine.
But every time I looked over there to see if she was finished, she was still sitting at the machine. Lifting 100 or more reps with 5 pounds. She was planted there for like 25 minutes, no exaggeration.
People! That is NOT how you're supposed to lift weights in a "man's" gym.
does that really grind your gears
huh?
does it?
As long as she is using the machine for its intended purpose, and not using it to just sit and rest and talk on her cell phone, I don't see the problem with it.
Wait your turn.
Listen son, men use free weights, not machines.
YOU are the girl.

She wasn't talking on her cell phone, but she was slouching a lot. If there's one thing I can't stand is a sloucher in a gym. Makes my blood boil! I mean, lady, work those core muscles for god sakes! Jesus Christ!

surprised this post took that long. knock off that machine, crap, sonny!
Signs are usually posted all over the place saying let others work in with you between sets. Want to get rid of her? Just go over and start hitting on her, she'll probably roll right out of there.

Yes, free weights are proven to be better for putting on muscle, but there are some machines that can be useful as well. Are you telling me that you have never used a machine or cable exercise?
Same story in my school's gym. Except it isn't 100 straight reps, its like
10X(10 reps lowest weight, sit there looking hot)
2/10
