Saturday night at the bar Might seem silly to some, but it took me a LOT to work up the courage to use the real #squatrack at my gym. I've been going to @LAFitness for about 10 years, and I had always looked at the free weight area as the "guy zone" and avoided it completely. When I started lifting about two years ago, I was super proud that I finally felt confident enough to pull up a weight bench and grab some free weights- even if I was the only woman there. I was still too nervous to use the squat rack, and would use the #smithmachine even though I knew it wasn't as beneficial. Last week after doing having done some #squats with @nicki_mitchell I marched myself up to that rack and had at it. Victory!! Felt great conquering something I had felt insecure about. No more smith machine for this girl Moral of the story? Ladies- the weight area of the gym is nothing to be afraid of and don't let yourself be intimidated! If anything you'll look like a bad ass I only wish I had done it sooner!!#azfitfam #fitfam #squatdeadbench #girlsthatlift #ladiesthatlift #iifymgirls #iifym #flexibledieting
