Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML
Today, while working out in the gym, I spotted a very attractive girl. I decided to pick up the heaviest dumbbell to show off how much I could curl. She ended up driving me to the hospital because I burst into tears after tearing up my bicep and deltoid. FML
Today, I was at the gym when I noticed a girl I like working out on the elliptical. I went to go say hi, but chickened out and went to run on the treadmill in front of her instead. I was so nervous that I tripped and the machine threw me headfirst into her machine. FML
Today, at the gym I loaded way too much weight on the bench press. Halfway through my set, I got stuck with the bar on my chest, squealing like a squeezed rubber duck until a stranger rescued me. FML
Today, I was at a power lifting meet when a girl I really liked walked in. Trying to impress her, I increased my bench to 350, when I have only done 300 before. She then watched me drop it on my chest, breaking my breast bone, and also crying in the process. FML
Today, I went to my gym and tried a new workout machine that had just been installed. I set the weight too high and ended up stuck halfway through a lift, making weird struggling noises. Most people around me stopped and stared as I awkwardly dropped the weights. FML
Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I decided to get in shape for swimsuit season, so I went to the gym. I tried to lift a barbell up and over my head, which was fine, until I dropped it. Exercise earned me a concussion and a neck brace. FML
Today, while trying to lift a weight bar at the gym, I ended up cracking my rib cage and almost passed out. My friend, who was supposed to be spotting for me, couldn't help until the last second because he'd snuck off to flirt with a pair of guys halfway across the room. FML
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

Guys... Seriously, STOP trying to impress girls that way ("look at how I am strooooong!!!"), you always end up on FML with the shame.

How heavy was the weight if she was able to help you get it off?

Who knows, maybe she was strong.

Usually you only need ten pounds of help when you're stuck. Unless you've added like 50lbs past what you can do. For example, if you can bench 215lbs, then decide to go for that magic 225, but aren't able to and decapitate yourself, theoretically, you really only need someone to ease up 10lbs of that so you can get the bar back up.

Usually it backfires when you try impressing anyone. I guess you got her attention though!

Great way to met. Claim her beauty made you weak and now that she rescued you, you're forever grateful and would like to take her to get a Orange Julius. Genius!

Never show off with weights. It always backfire. Its a proven fact.

While I give you props for trying to impress her, it's really not wise to do it at the end of a workout. It's the end for a reason; it gets really hard to lift a lot of weight.

We are more interested in knowing what happened next. Did you manage to get friendly with her?

I'm sure she has guys that try to impress her all the time maybe next time you think a girl is cute just try talking to her instead of trying to show off, when guys have confidence in themselves it can be even more attractive than him trying to show off besides you could of been seriously hurt when it landed on your neck you're lucky you weren't OP.
