New Weight Fag !!SlYpXEgQusP
Dear /fit/
Tomorrow I start my real Weight Lifting class in high school.
In this class are some football players, a wrestler, and some other kids that lift on their own time.
I, myself, have never lifted before.
Tomorrow, we're doing our 1 rep max, and I know mine will be low.
I'm genuinely nervous as to what people will say when I lift.
I don't like being made fun of. At all.
Is this normal when you first start lifting weights?

Yeah.
The "1 Rep Max"
Everyone in my school is infatuated with how much they can "lift"
What it is is just the max weight you can possibly handle in one rep.

Dude don't worry about it, because your going to make the biggest gains throughout the year. If anybody makes fun of you, that's stupid, because your taking the class to get bigger.

Don't worry about it, when I started my weight lifting class I had to do maxes and mine were relatively low - no one will make fun of you unless they're a fucking retard douchebag. And if that's the case then you shouldn't care because ... they're retarded douchebags.

No one will make fun of you if you bust your ass for the rest of the semester and raise your maxes - GET FIT SON GET FIT.

No, of course not. He's just trying to unhurt your feelings.
Everyone starts off lifting 200 lbs. If you're unable to start there, then don't bother.

School doesn't have a gym? You've got 1-4 years to lift there, that's plenty of time to build a better reputation.

The school has 2 gyms, thats why I'm taking the class.
As far as I know, the wellness center closes after school, and the stadium weight room is for football players only during the season.
Ive only got 2 years left.

women know jackshit. Especially about what they want.
It's not like you'll explode into muscle anyway in three weeks.
After two years you'll have a nice body, but that's it.

I don't want to be body builder sized.
I just want to tone up my muscles, gain some strength and endurance, and get fit.

what does that have to do with confidence? and yes, many girls find huge muscles unattractive (such as myself). but that doesn't really matter, because a lot of girls like it. no one likes being with someone who is completely insecure either way. in my opinion, there's NOTHING worse than buff guys who take themselves way too seriously and have self esteem issues.
