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

you dont deserve that bc it is my assumption that 98% of the population can lift a 45 lb barbell. 7-12 yr olds included. Spotter next time homeboy. Always when trying new exercises and eat that protein mix after workouts. Sounds like you need to gain some weight and muscle

Wow. Either you're 10 years old or you're the weakest person I've ever seen.

The OP's name says Marcus Jones, so I am led to believe that OP is a guy. In that case, I agree, I feel bad that you can't lift 45 pounds.

Lol, I'm a chick who doesn't work out but can lift double that weight. That being said, it's not your fault if you were born weak.

This **** My Life is so true I had to post something TWICE. You're life is ******. I shouldnt make fun bc in High School I used to be dangerous skinny (as a guy) and there is only way to gain weight and muscle. Eat and lift weights. To gain weight you dont start out by eating an entire chicken. Start small. Grab 15-20lb dumbells and start with that. Or even smaller. Im sure I started out with the bar, and I ALWAYS warm up a bench workout with the bar. For your sake, I hope youre young. If not, get a trainer.

Well as an personal trainer I have seen many weak people who has had problem lifting weights, I call them computer nerds. The only strength they do have is the fingers.

you all realize that he said he started with 45 and worked up.... So he probably got pinned under 135 or something

Are you actually saying that you're incapable of lifting the bar? REALLY????? Have you had both your arms in casts or pinned to your sides for the past year, atrophying all of your muscles, or what the hell happened? Do you ever lift your arms? Carry things around? I'm at a loss to explain how this was even possible. Do you ever push doors open with your arms in a semi-lifted position? if so, then you certainly should have been able to lift this bar. Oh. I just realized the only way in which this is possible: you clearly have no arms. In which case, what were you even thinking, trying to lift anything at all??

um, under no circumstances should you be bench pressing without a spotter... even if it's just the bar. you're new to it, safety precautions should be common sense. come on now.
