These…women…rock!
Assemble a book. Call it “REAL Weight Training for Women.” Put these women in an infomercial and run it on cable, and try to make a dent in the terrible trend of toning. These women need a wider forum to try to convince more women to start doing the right thing. Imagine the paradigm shift they might start, if they had a wider audience!
Can’t wait until next week’s!
What I want to know is will any of them (or all of them) date/marry me?
It’s refreshing to see women who can train hard, excel in there respective fields, know what they want in life, and be sexy as hell doing it all. My hat’s off to all of you!
Where the hell was Maureen? Or was she the last one?
Maureen…who cares?
i got cass.
I am thankful to have these Vixens as mentors.
I know there are more women out there lurking and wish they would post, even if just in the off-topic threads to make their presence known.
Everyone has something of value to share.
I know I am always anxious to hear how other Vixens are training or what their goals are. There are only a few other women that are serious about their training in my gym and they aren’t the friendliest gals I have ever met.
Maybe their sense of humor would improve if they read T-mag on a regular basis.
I too am looking forward to part II and more contributions in the future.
Thanks Again!!
Man, that was a cool article. Some hotties in there too.
The article was fun to be a part of. Chris did a great job of compiling all our answers together.
I’m glad that everyone liked it, and that it didnt cause a commotion like Maureens’ did. Yikes.
Cass
Cass, Patricia, et. al., awesome insight to the ladies’ perspective!
Great job, girls!
I’m printing out the article right after I post this so my wife can check it out on the way to scenic Oregon.
I don’t know. I just get curious why we’re told that one thing is going to happen, then another does. I’m too nosy. I was hoping she was going to redeem herself but oh well.
…and everything they said about women acting in the gym is totally on the money. The remark about there being a lack of camaraderie among women like the men have? That really is a shame. Maybe just a few more women per gym who are serious about what they are doing would help change the whole atmosphere. But I DO see women gravitate toweards each other and bond by talking, not by lifting and encouraging each other.
Gotta be something the Nation can do to reach more people with the message.
Great article! Read it all and was impressed. These girls do know what they are talking about. There has obviously been countless hours of dedication, commitment to the study of anatomy and nutrition and of course many, many hours in the Gym. It shows! Awsome job girls.
As a newbie on this forum, it will take me a great deal of time to go through it all and then to keep up, but I will try. Very impressed overall.
(Oh, By the way…did I mention I got to go out with one of the t-vixens tonight. Thats right guys! EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT! Yes, a Genuine T-Vixen. We talked, we ate, we washed clothes. And I touched her bum! Ok… that was an accident. I like that girl and she is incredible!
Hmmmmm which one, you are asking… I will never tell! Nay, nay nay!)
Harley: I’m definitely jealous!
I have a question for the T-vixens. Why do you think it is that when a woman complains she wants to lose weight (which I always correct by saying they want to lose fat and gain muscle), many (most I’ve encountered) are lazy/afraid to read the articles I give them about diet and/or training?
To clarify, I’m not giving them King’s Limping series or anything, but stuff like CT’s “Fun with Women” or T-dawg 2.0 and things with little complexity.
I ask because I really want these people who ask me questions to find joy in improving their bodies without being discouraged. But that requires dedication on their part, and perhaps lighting a fire under them by people like myself who are already passionate about that.
I can’t wait to see next week’s article about things men do in the gym that pisses the women off.
I’m just really, really glad, I train by myself, headphones blasting, not even looking at anyone. Whew.
Printing it out now for all women at work who think walking is intense training!
great article babes.
Harley man, I’m jealous too. But if you are from up there in Edmonton, I’m thinking you were with Cass. Am I right man? Watch out for Goldberg, she’s his.
Smithers and Harley:
I know it wasnt me that H was hanging with cause I was at home all night last evening doing a lit search for a journal article on diet supplements(yes, my life is really funnnnn).
So who the heck are you referring too? I’m faithful to my future husband Goldberg ;-), so maybe you’re referring to E~. Don’t try to get me in trouble!
Cass
Yes…kudos ladies. Great article and info to boot. I am going to print this puppy out and hand it out to all the women who come to the gym where I work. Should be a real eye opener for them.
I got dibs on Eva!!!..;o)
Back from vacation… checking replies… reading, Wow I like the new postings and the roundtable part 2. Kinda made me choke too, Chris.
My comments:
1)I hate the womens only area of the gym. To me the more lively and mixed the crowd is the better. (and shitcan the depressing Coldplay music) I think sometimes women feel intimidated when they don’t really need to. I know all women are not T-vixens, they don’t have to be. I think if a girl feels comfortable wearing tight fitting or skimpy clothes, then all the better. By the way if you have been frequenting the same gym for a while, you would see the newcomers changing from baggy and big to smaller and tighter as their bodies change… I say CONGRATS!!!
2)All peoples true intentions when they approach you come out eventually. You would think the gym would be the most natural place to give a compliment to someones physique where you see it is due. Men rarely give men compliments.( thats just scarey!) But it can be hard to give a girl a compliment also without it seeming like a pick up line. You do see some incredible drive and determination at the gym and you do see results. But its hard to give that compliment. I do try to change this tendancy and word it in a different way. Like to a male “Fuck buddy, are you ripped or what? (in the same breath continue on saying) “look at the ass on that babe over there!” To a girl I would say, " Are you ever looking good, You must be in the best shape you have ever been in… are you hungry…Sushi?” So try this approach, you might make a friend, or even better.
3)The fitness girls make me hornier than the the bodybuilding girls, bigtime!!!
Ok, reguarding the T-Vixen date… Ok maybe it was all a dream…
No, wait, one strand of beautiful, silky, most incredible hair caught in the headrest of my truck seat, now sealed in an airtight foodsaver bag for ever! The proof I needed. Does anyone have access to a DNA fingerprinting laboratory?
I absolutly adore this vixen, who wants to remain anonomous. She knows it too. She is the most huggable sweet girl I know and is definatle one of my favorite people in the world!!!
(Ok… girls stop reading at this point, Guys continue on…)
You should check out the ass on this babe!..WHOA!
Harley
The ladies rocked that article. Big thanks!
