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

It's things like this that discourage a lot of people from going to the gym and getting healthy. Don't worry about them OP, they're just trying to feel better about themselves. Keep trying and you'll get it soon!

Don't worry you'll get to their level and not be a huge jerk like them! Good luck!

why do people always care about other people watching how heavy they're lifting at the gym? Going to the gym isn't a competition with other people, it's competition with yourself.

Planet fitness is the real douche bag. They'll kick you out if you get too big at their gym.

So, about the only reason I made this account was to comment and say, if you wanted advice on what workouts to use (depending on the kind of build you want) my boyfriend is a gym rat and knows almost anything there is to know about it. If not, keep at it! You'll do great if you don't give up(:

My biceps are like bags of pudding. It's okay to start small and work your way up. The strongest people in the world had to start somewhere, right? No one is born with hulk strength. Just keep at it and ignore the assholes who can't appreciate the effort you're putting in to get yourself in shape.

Next time start small. Like lifting a pencil with marshmallows on each end.

They are probably aroused by the idea of the very, very gentle handjobs you can give.

I'm calling bullshit on this FML, a machine where you do one arm weightlifting? The lowest setting on a machine is typically 5lbs, if you can't lift 5lbs then stick to cardio because you're never going to work your way to actual lifting
