Exactly. This is exactly why I'm angry -- nobody should feel belittled in that thread and it really burns me when it happens. Especially for those of us who are at a disadvantage, just starting out (some of us for the 3rd or 4th time) and who are still trying to figure out what all of this stuff means.

I also totally understand the comfort of the gym vs. being critiqued out in the wild. I feel much the same way and am way less self-conscious in a gym environment.

Anyway, you'll get nothing but encouragement from me. I'll only dole out the advice if it's specifically asked for.
