I will never be not afraid of the free weights area with all

No one cares lad, people are just there to get gains and leave

Cool. Leave this place.

>>40696233
But I need to be shredded.

Don't sweat it, mr introvert. just go on craigslist and get a good fucking deal on freeweights and a bench, make some room wherever you can, blast music you actually like, and don't deal with public filth again.

>>40696276
Then stop being such a little bitch. Do you really think anyone who's actually shredded is as much of a whiny fucking loser as you are?

just make sure to go towards the free weights with a clear workout in mind, make sure you are aware of how to use them properly for your workout, and go to town. knowing what you're doing should help eliminate a lot of your anxiety. otherwise no one cares. i'm a big guy and i don't go around staring at people working out, i might have passing glances but usually i'm minding my own or throwing bants around.

Good, leave the racks open for the big boy.

holy shit do not listen to this reeeee'ing kind of mentality.

I wanna overcome my fears, dude. I need to.

Go a few times with a buddy then just start going with headphones on and move with a purpose. dont dick around. dont do shrugs in the squat rack.

>overcoming your fears
>by not doing what you need to do

u wot

Holy shit just go to the area already.

If I actually did what I wanted to do my entire life would be a hell lot better.

The trick is to keep using the free weights until you blend in with the other guys using them
Then you can use them autism free

Oh my fucking god. The endless excuses. What the fuck is the point of this thread? You want some kind of pity party?

>>40696752
