Love: Today, I was at a power lifting meet when a girl I really liked...

Today, I was at a power lifting meet when a girl I really liked walked in. Trying to impress her, I increased my bench to 350, when I have only done 300 before. She then watched me drop it on my chest, breaking my breast bone, and also crying in the process. FML

Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML

Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

Today, while working out in the gym, I spotted a very attractive girl. I decided to pick up the heaviest dumbbell to show off how much I could curl. She ended up driving me to the hospital because I burst into tears after tearing up my bicep and deltoid. FML

Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I tried to bench press, my arms gave out instantly, and I ended up dropping the bar onto my chest. The dudes in the gym around me gave me the wide-eyed WTF face, while I tried to laugh it off and failed. FML

Today, I was at the gym trying to impress a hot girl, so I put an extra 30 pounds on the bar, I lowered, pushed... and pooped. FML

Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML

Today, my doctor told me that I have severely and permanently injured my shoulder. Last week, I attempted to lift more weight than I normally do in an effort to impress my boyfriend. He was not impressed. In fact he said that most kids can lift more than that. FML

Today, while trying to lift a weight bar at the gym, I ended up cracking my rib cage and almost passed out. My friend, who was supposed to be spotting for me, couldn't help until the last second because he'd snuck off to flirt with a pair of guys halfway across the room. FML

Today, I was working out at the gym doing squats. There was a girl there that I wanted to impress so I loaded up the bar with a lot of weight and began to do my squat. As I was going down I farted so loud that I began to laugh and fell backwards. Everyone in the room just stared at me. FML

Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML

350 is a HUGE jump from 300. idiot. side note: 315 looks a lot more impressive. just three fortyfives, large and incharge. that is the weight to do to impress the ladies.

you should always have a spotter! especially with a weight that heavy! 300 is impressive enough!

Honestly, sounds like you really dont weight train. Any one person who lifts knows thats suicide. i only bench 175 but I weigh 160, I think its impressive considering its more then I weigh. My question though is where was your spotter? If your a "power weight trainer" shouldent you know most of all you would need a spotter to help, even when you increased your max by fifty pounds?

wow, some people are ignorant. I know a guy that weighs 180 pounds and benches 405...I know another guy around 220 that benches 525...it's entirely possible to do more weight than you have seen. record holders bench in the 600+ area...high school seniors at my school are breaking 350. it's definitely not unheard of.

98, the only thing he forgot to include was the thought of how many people were helping you.

if I saw some guy benching 300 I'd walk the **** away. I bench 170 and I hardly go to the gym but that's just over double so holy **** props bro but adding an extra 350 won't help
