DoomWeasel Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I actually started lifting weights! I mean, I go to the gym three times a week and swim like a crazed otter already but I needed some lifting in there. I must have looked so lost though, because all the women in there who looked like sleek jungle cats started helping me after a few minutes. Sadly, I returned home still looking marshmallow-esque but it will change I was able to do a max of 40 lbs on my arms, except for with dumbbells while doing squats. Those were a measly 10. As for my legs, I got 80 lbs on my first try, so yay me. “If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.†Hengeyokai DruidSTR 5|DEX 3|STA 5|CON 5|WIS 7|CHA 2 Link to comment

Oklibrarian Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sounds like a milestone to me! Keep at it. I felt like a marshmallow the first few times I did the combo spin/reformer bouncing/mat class at my Pilates studio, but somewhere in the last 8 months I turned into the seasoned vet helping the newbies.

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Excellent! It doesn't matter where you are starting, so don't worry about that. Just keep it up, and you will be one of the sleek jungle cats helping out a newbie in no time. Link to comment
So Late So Soon Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Congrats! I wish my gym was full of sleek jungle cats Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole Link to comment
Sloth the Enduring Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Congrats! I wish my gym was full of sleek jungle catsHah. I was going to say that. It's nice that they're friendly and helpful. When I started lifting I did some dumbass stuff and no one said anything. “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
