Yeah... that was hot. If it makes you feel any better, at the beginning of my training I couldn’t even lift the damn bar… with no weights. Yeah… that was hot.

EMPTY BAR. *sigh* The assisted chin-up/dip machine is pretty cool, for example.

Besides, you have to start somewhere. I had a really, really weak upper body (like, difficulty opening doors) until I started weight training. It took a long time (since I couldn't afford a trainer) but I built up muscle and it's helped me ever since. And the whole point of a trainer or workout partner is to have someone nag/scold/mock you into working out, and also having someone to be angry at when you're suffering those last few reps of pain. It's all good. Heh, honestly, ‘roid monkeys are so into themselves they probably don’t even notice you. Besides, you have to start somewhere.
