I would tell her to mind her own business. Maybe she was hitting on you. In her country it may be a way to flatter someone? Green Packaging

Just make sure you include those darling lace gloves you were showing off to Josef Rakich and I WILL rep you for supreme fashion sense!

[...] note, my arms are even smaller than before eventhough I am lifting heavy weights. No bulking up the man muscles as opposed to what others believe regarding women who lifts heavy weights! [...]

My gym everyone is in Gucci sweatsuits gossiping while a dj spins and they are all ridiculously fit. I think it’s time for a gym change.

Gotta love people who try to mind your own business for you. I generally stick with 15 pound dumbbells for shoulder work and 30 pound dumbbells for arm curls myself - you find what works for you and then you make it happen. Sorry you had to deal with that!!

oh my word, I've never seen someone at the gym be so vocally critical..most people just think snarky things to themselves! Personally, I would say hey I'm working out right and my body feels good..soo thanks for your opinion, but you are ruining my rather pleasant workout! RunToFinishs last blog post..HE needs a name!!

even easier response: "sorry, i don't have time to talk about different workout methods--my lunch break is too short!" i know how it feels to be non-confrontational. sometimes it helps to brainstorm things that might not say *exactly* what you want to say (this is none of your business!), but that get the point across.

OMG! You told me about this encounter but it still makes me mad after I read it again here in your blog. I wish I can see this lady and start doing Squats in front of her with 125 lbs and pull ups => I would like to see what she says then...lol. It's good that you recognize the importance of strength/weight training. I wish all women do. Anna @ pathtofatlosss last blog post..What is a Snatch?

you don’t need to bitch back. just give a series of ‘oh, yeah’, and ‘really?!’ responses and ask a lot of questions about herself, turn the table on her. you’ll be amazed to learn that all she really wanted to do is talk about herself and her pathetic life. you’ll learn things about her that will make you feel better about yourself and feel even more sorry for her. always works for me. i’m sure it’ll work for you too.

i think you’re doing great working out. keep it up!

Oh, just throw the thing at her!!
Don’t you wish you could really do that sometimes????
Just say thank you and turn around… she’ll eventually get the hint if you keep turning your back on her. (I’d still like to throw the DB at her…. if she doesn’t get the hint…. maybe when she’s naked in the locker room, from the sound of her, she probably wont be able to catch it?!?!?!)

You are so funny, Lorie!! Yes, I highly doubt she would be able to catch the DB. Seriously, that’s what I did – said thank you and turned around to continue doing my thing. Great – no blood spilled but something still feels not right.
