Why are guys at the gym so weak?

[Anonymous]

I'm a chubby girl who goes to the gym. I barely pull or lift at all. I was pulling like 45 pounds without a problem. Real easy... too easy in fact, I had to increase to 77 pounds to challenge myself. 77 pounds was harder but really not that hard. 10 minutes into my workout. I saw two other guys, athletically fit looking, strong looking, tall. Two of them were grunting and huffing and puffing due to how hard it is... one guy was pulling a mere 44 pounds. Another one was doing 50 pounds. Both were pulling just 3 times, grunting, dying... and then taking 5 minute breaks in between. On the other hand, I literally have been pulling 44 pounds for 5 minutes. The 77 pounds the next 5 minutes with no problems. I'm not out of breath or grunting or dying...

I look nowhere close to being fit as them at all. I'm chubby, kinda stocky, no obvious muscle tone. I'm just surprised at how weak these fit men are. And why I'm not fitter looking than them.

Well kinda need more context - what/how you’re “pulling” makes a huge difference. Even very small women should be deadlifting 77lbs very easily for example, while a even a big dude is gonna struggle doing lat raises with 44lbs

pulling weights!

[Redstang88]

Again, meaningless without more context

[Asker]

You dont need more context. Its not that complicated to understand

[Redstang88]

“Pulling weights” is hopelessly vague

Why are these two guys at the gym so weak?

There ^, I fixed it for you.

Tell you what, why don't you pick a fight with either of those two guys and see who wins... him, or your annoying, chubby ass.

[Asker]

what makes you think the weak guy struggling to pull 44 lbs will win?

[Opinion Owner]

Because 99% or men can easily beat 99% of women, so the odds are pretty clear.

[Asker]

Well if i can pull 77 pounds while you're struggling to even pull 44, you should have a reason to be afraid of me

[Opinion Owner]

LMAO

[Joshydavid25]

Pulling what exactly? This sounds like somebody who doesn't really know what they're talking about in regards to fitness.. LOL..

[Asker]

if you have no clue what im talking about, thats a clear sign that you never work out

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, the gym is my second home.. There are multiple pulling machines..
