My gracious boyfriend spotted me on a few sets of 95# on the flat bench and incline bench.

I do not have any racy stories from this evening's adventures at the gym, so I will recount a conversation that happened about six months ago.

Sketchy Bro: You look familiar.

Me: That may be because I am here every day.

SB: (looking me up and down) It shows.

Me: Umm.

SB: I have travelled all over the world, and you are one of the most elegant women I've ever seen.

Me: Ok.

SB: Will you let me take you out to dinner.

Me: I have a boyfriend. (A small lie, as I was single at the time, but he might be out there. Somewhere.)

SB: So? I have a wife. This is 2009, girl!

shaniqua

This one is inspired by Karen, which is difficult because it is a continuous stream of thrusters.  The sit ups help break it up.
