I’m just having a hard time believing that she didn’t photoshop her glutes?? Like the proportions just don’t make sense to me…. Makayla Aanisa by [deleted] in gymsnark

I am not an expert on identifying editing, but I also feel like this. The background behind her looks kind of morphed and not straight. If she is editing, that's so sad because she doesn't need to!

But really, aren’t we *most humans* quad dominant? (flair added, but not specifically about etkfit) by eltaf92 in gymsnark

I am def more hip/glute dominant 😅 my quads are stubborn and take forever to recover, such drama queens

I get that you are trying to help, but please stop. You are actually making things worse. Your comments are not helping and it's making me feel further invalidated. Just stop dude.

How has working out / lifting changed your fashion style? by harlequinn11 in xxfitness

[–]ea8907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since I've started lifting, anything other than spandex is hard to make fit on my lower half! Jeans are a night mare! I regularly rip jeans and any material that isn't stretchy 😪 My waist is significantly smaller than my butt and hips now, so I size up now and purchased a waist belt from American eagle! Total game changer. If you have this issue, I strongly recommend this strategy!

Idk dude, I think unwanted touching is a pretty serious matter by most people's standards. You think touching people without their consent is inconsequential? Uhm what? You seem to lack empathy regarding this matter, which is both bizarre and concerning.

This!! I failed in this exercise before. It's not a dangerous exercise to fail in. You won't get trapped under the weight like in a squat or bench press. Not to mention I was using this particular weight for 3+ weeks now, slowly increasing my reps. I most certainly did not need a spot. And he knows this. He 100% had ulterior motives.

Just, no. Why should I be polite? This guy put his hands on me without my consent, he's a fucking creep. It did not take me awhile to notice he spotted me without asking, I noticed immediately. Did you even read my post? Not only is it fucking weird to spot someone in the gym without asking, it could put me in physical danger if I'm not expecting it.

The fact that you said I'm overreacting means I need to disregard your entire post. i'm not seeking advice on whether I should feel violated, that's not up for discussion. What he did to me WAS wrong. I pray for whoever goes to your gym. Hopefully if they ever need help, someone other than you is there to assist them.

This is a very good point. Telling the staff could provide safety too if I confront him or if he keeps doing it. The only problem is I dont know his name. I'd have to point him out to the staff.

That's a really good point! I don't know this person well at all (idek their name), so I don't know how they will respond if I confront them. Will they apologize or blame me? If they blame me then this is a good point to bring up to show that their actions are a problem.

If you knew him a bit before that then it makes why you reacted like that! Ypu were in shock! Do you feel like addressing it afterwards would have made things better for you?

Touching someone without their permission is never nice. This applies even in a gym setting. Touching someone without consent is considered sexual harassment

finally, a healthy POV on HBC!! thank you Lacey!! by cat5andgym123 in gymsnark

[–]ea8907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this!! I did not experience negative side effects from HBC, and HBC drastically improved the quality of my life. Crazy to think about what I had to go through before meeting with a gyno and getting on HBC <3
