They say "No pain No Gain." But I say avoiding pain is sane. I believe the whole reason we have pain receptors is to know what NOT to do.
Also where is the beginners gym with people in it who look like me? I look like a freak in that place walking around sweating just because I'm walking around. Already out of breath and sweating just from glancing at the stair-climber.
Will I look like these people soon or is it that someone like me joins and these people break your spirit so they can have the place all to themselves?
I think these gyms give free memberships to the genetically gifted to lure you in and those same people intimidate you into leaving once you've paid. If not these freaks should have to wear before pics on their t-shirts to make us fatties feel better.
In all seriousness though I really like the gym so far. I go really early is probably why. None of the genetic freaks are there yet to preen around and make me feel like a failure and I'm free to be a weakling without embarrassing myself. Its uncomfortable to be big like me but also weak like a pre-pubescent girl. I'm the kind of strong you get from sitting still and I'm that kind of big too. Its misleading to the eyes to see my 240lb 6ft tall frame straining to curl 20lbs dumbbell's. Especially since everyone knows you just started and this is only rep five set one and your already sweating and grunting like a rookie sailor after lights out.
