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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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
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 went to the gym for the first time in months. As I tried to bench press, my arms gave out instantly, and I ended up dropping the bar onto my chest. The dudes in the gym around me gave me the wide-eyed WTF face, while I tried to laugh it off and failed. 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 the gym trying to impress a hot girl, so I put an extra 30 pounds on the bar, I lowered, pushed... and pooped. 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
Today, my doctor told me that I have severely and permanently injured my shoulder. Last week, I attempted to lift more weight than I normally do in an effort to impress my boyfriend. He was not impressed. In fact he said that most kids can lift more than that. 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 working out at the gym doing squats. There was a girl there that I wanted to impress so I loaded up the bar with a lot of weight and began to do my squat. As I was going down I farted so loud that I began to laugh and fell backwards. Everyone in the room just stared at me. FML

YDI for being over the top about trying to impress her. do you think she'd be like, "not interested. oh wait. three FIFTY? if it was just 300 then no way, but 350 is so awesome that I'm super into him now!" nope. however, you didn't deserve to have your breastbone broken so FYL there. if she was at all interested and is a decent person then this won't be a dealbreaker.. maybe she would feel bad that you got hurt and think it's cute you were trying to impress her, even if it was a misguided attempt

I'm pretty strong for a girl and I actually take weight lifting so I'm not completely stupid. 300lbs is alot for bench press. Ive seen better but still it's alot. Most girls I know can't even squat 100lbs.

YDI for trying to make your muscles abnormally large by being into power lifting. People who look like that make me feel sick.

Thank you! Huge muscles are nasty...ew.... And it's annoying when guys are constantly trying to flaunt for girls. Not only would 300 have been enough, but as soon as you start trying to show off, we recognize that you're just showing off, and usually it's a turn-off. YDI buddy, I hope you heal quickly though, that must really hurt.

Who's so ugly that they need to lift 350 to impress a girl..... You're lacking something other then just brain power.

Me. I am a heavily muscled 280 lbs with extensive facial scarring. I gotta try something to get the women. Usually I just stick to nice cars and big trucks. Works better than letting them look at me too long.

And how has that worked so far? If someones actually interested in you, they won't just be interested because of your size. if they are then their just interested in your outer appearance and the instant you loose muscle, they will be gone.

YDI. Women care way less about how much you lift than you do. Seriously. I think "wow, I couldn't do that, impressive... he must have worked hard" and not "wow, he can bench (whatever)?, I wanna date/sleep with him" or "pft, other guys can do more." Sorry about the injury, though. That sucks.
