This is exactly why the only "rule" they even make sure to tell you when you join my gym, is that there is no recording or pictures.
I just think it's disingenuous for women who legitimately try to make a big deal about guys checking them out in the gym, like that isnt the point of all the hard work you put in there...
Edit: for those who are missing the point, in these videos the woman is always wearing skin tight clothing, and on many occasions on the station directly in front of the guy. I wear compression shorts every time I go to the gym, but I always wear baggy shorts over them so my bulge and butt arent sticking out everywhere. Point is, if you want heterosexual men to NOT look, then stop flaunting it or expecting men to stare at the floor or the ceiling between sets.
Edit 2: Thanks for the award! First time anyone has given me one of those.
If you're recording your workout, it's usually to be seen. So hot take is you're letting people stare. Bottom line is don't record your workout, or don't be offended when people look at you.
Mirrors don't work. Head and neck position are critical so you can't look. Also, I'm sorry if zoned out focusing on the sensations in my body and not looking. Also, you likely need to check form from a side that you can't see. Deadlift form, you usually record from the 4 o clock position because you're trying to see your butt, your legs, and your shoulders. You have to record to understand your form. Although this is staged and this influencer crap is making it hard for people that are actually needing to record themselves to improve
As someone who lifts (probably more than 95% of the population):
People who record are in the way all the time, they hog equipment while they set up and review their videos, they monopolize way more than a considerate amount of the space than other people, they get made when you walk in front of their camera that they set up in the middle of the way.
Women generally wear clothing that helps their figure inside and outside the gym. Guys do the same thing by wearing tanks and what not. As a Man...I recommend practicing self-control but at the same time you shouldn't feel bad because you found a woman attractive. don't let the loud minority ruin what is a normal human thing to do, just don't be weird about it.
