I recently started working out at a new gym. The gym I was working out at was a fat lady haven. No grunting, no dropping weights, no sweating, 100 lb dumbells, machines designed for the elderly undergoing rehab, etc. I couldn't take it anymore and set out to find a GYM!! In San Antonio there are literally hundreds of gyms, but finding a good one is a challenge. After a lot of searching I found what I wanted.
This new place I'm going is the shit. 200 lb dumbells, lots of powerlifters and bodybuilders. The place is old, dark, dirty and scary, just how I like it. The first time I worked out there, there was a guy about 60 over in the corner doing squats with about 600 lbs for reps. The guys at the front desk and the trainers were big, juiced up dudes. I was home. Since I've been going there, I've felt like I belong there. It's just my type of place. Even with all the powerlifters and bodybuilders though, I felt comfortable in my place as one of, if not the biggest guy in the gym. Now of course there's guys that weigh more than me, but I'm the biggest one that's toned and symmetrical. Oh yes, even among the hardcore, I'm a man among men.
Well, my ego soon got the shit stomped out of it when 2001 and 2002 World's strongest woman, Jill Mills walked in. I mean, this woman is the shit. I've looked online for pics of her, but honestly, nothing on the net does justice to how she looks now. Her quads and calves made me extremely happy I didn't wear shorts that day. Her lats hang off her back. 600 pound squats, 500 lb deadlifts and 350 pound benches seem to be her moderate workout days. And to my surprise, her face still looks like a woman. The signs of the androgens are slightly present in her voice, but not bad. Interestingly, I even thought she was kind of pretty. That surprised me because I never thought that was possible. Maybe Gooey's on to something with his defense of these women.
Anyway, I don't know if you guys are familiar with her bodybuilding, powerlifting and strongwoman accomplishments, but her record is AMAZING. I've never known anyone, much less a woman, who's accomplished so much...not to mention made me feel like a skinny little bitch.
She does seem to be very down to Earth though and she's got a very sweet personality. I have to give her my respect....if I didn't she might challenge me to a quad pose.
