Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML

you dont deserve that bc it is my assumption that 98% of the population can lift a 45 lb barbell. 7-12 yr olds included. Spotter next time homeboy. Always when trying new exercises and eat that protein mix after workouts. Sounds like you need to gain some weight and muscle

#157, it is 'you are pathetic' , and yes, you are. different people have different life choices, if someone doesn't excel in weight lifting that is fine as long ad they enjoy their life. arrogant ego manic like you is sad

Do you people not understand that no one on here cares how much you can bench. That being said, you should probably work on fixing that OP

depends on how many reps OP did... 45 lbs can get heavy after 20+ reps...

Wait, a barbell without weights is 45 lbs? That's more than I expected.. Still, unless you're a pre-teen, that shouldn't be too hard if you're using both hands, and definitely shouldn't pin you...

Without proper form or previous chest workouts benching just the bar could be hard. Make sure you start with machines or just Dumbbell presses before you do bench press, especially if your new to working out. And also, allways but allways have someone with you when you bench. Benching alone is limiting yourself.
