>Talking with friend in his truck

This gym allows you to take guests infinitely without any pay/member penalty right? Cool yeah?

"About 120, i've recently started"
"Oh nice! I'm there too."

It broke me a bit learning this and finding out that i can't lift as much as i thought i could.
Fuck my life.
Must be pretty dim not to notice such a discrepancy

Peddle stupid pseudo-intellectual mystical oriental nonsense to gullible impressionable retards who don't know the first thing about fighting and associate asians who laugh behind their backs with great ancient wisdom as he usually did, most likely

thanks for the motivation, i genuinely had a euphoric moment for a second knowing at least im not lifting 85lbs
>>42497859
same happened to me. lost 5kg on all my lifts thinking my bar weighed more than it did.
keep training mate and down the line you'l be warming up with 120 like its fucking nothing. but seriously lift properly on an established strength routine and eat and sleep well. so many guys try to somehow squeeze around these basic tenets and plateau at 225.

Who the fuck cares?
I mean seriously, is this actually a big deal? You can't lift as much as you thought. WAHHH
Lift moar and get over it.
Sort of the opposite happened to me. For the longest time, I didn't know you were supposed to include the bar in the weight.
