A few years back, I was squatting on a Smith machine because I couldn't find a spot (it was late, small gym, I was the only one actually using the gym facility.) I ended up maxing out and having my legs give out, and because I forgot to set the safety pins my ass hit the ground, completely unable to push back up; I desperately started rotating the bar, trying to get the hooks on, but there were no grips that low on the frame (which surely must defeat the purpose of a Smith machine, but I digress.)

I was stuck there for around three minutes because I couldn't generate enough force to move the bar due to the position I was in and exhaustion. Could have cut that time down to a few seconds if I had just called out for help, but I was too proud at the time.

Never used one of those Satan machines again.

To be fair, starting out lifting is a chore, especially when you're weak. I like doing something where I can get better so to speak, so I will mix it up with some martial arts training, more fun when starting out, will get you to a respectable strength level quickly. And you feel like you get better at something each time out. I suppose it's the same with lifting. It's an excuse to eat a ton though, which will raise your testosterone, and thus motivation. If you're skinny and just want to get swole, that's the easy part.

Always weirds me out when people say they don't have much of an appetite, and that eating is the hardest part about lifting. It's the best part about lifting. I could put away 8000 calories a day if it wouldn't fatten me up.

I was doing carbloading for a few months and had no trouble putting down 4000 calories in about 2 hours after my lifts.

Eating snacks while watching movies with your girl is amazing.

Eating dinner while out with friends is nice.

Cooking up a new recipe and trying it out is terrific.

Having a discussion with Jibby is great.
