I was thinking about this today. I have no partner, and there is NO WAY I will ever have one. I don't know many people that live close by, only two. One's the laziest, fattest fuck you can imagine and has never set foot in a weight room, and the other also rarely goes and when he does, it's at night when I can never make it.
My concern is: I've started doing free weights, trying to build mass. But I can't max myself out, or even get the weight very high at all. For example, I'm a pussy, but I bet I could bench 140 a couple times, but instead I bench like 80 because I'm afraid of f'ing up (dropping). I'm starting to wonder if I'd be better off going back to machines where I can at least work with more resistance. I dunno what to do.
