My Experience At A Gym

Photo by Victor Freitas

Down here, almost every college has a gym point, there are often some giant guys there who are building themselves, and a number of them are students. in my place, we refer to them as student security. They are commonly known as Manchos.

In my school, they positioned their gym point close to one of the busiest roads, as such there was no day that I didn't get to follow that road. Honestly, I have always admired their body shape, especially that of their boss. That guy is something else, if you see his six-packs, oh my.

Many times I had the urge to stop by and say hi, but I often overcame the temptation. I have this good friend, he was very famous while we were in college from time to time he visited the place. He knows a lot of people there.

One day, while we were coming back from lectures in the evening, he said, we should enter the gyming place and say hi to a few people before we go. You know I have been obsessed with the gym, and wanting to know their boss in person, I said "Let's go."

When we got there, we greeted all the guys, and I was just admiring what I was seeing, someone once told me that lifting weights doesn't fit people of small stature but I saw someone just like me there doing the stuff. To even burst my bubble, I saw a lady lifting weights. Wow. The first thing that crossed my mind was this thing is freaking easy.

Hope you know, Every house has a rule. naive me, I didn't even wait for a moment, as soon as I saw that lady, my morale got boosted up, I went straight to one of the weights, tried to lift it up and my strength failed me. I thought no one saw me, I pretended like I was just playing around it when I heard "carry it."

Huh? I turned around and it was their boss, "Carry what sir," " I asked. Carry the weight, there is a rule in this house, anything you touch, you must life it five times." I chuckled, "Sir, I didn't know this about such a rule, moreover, I was just trying to clean the dust I saw on it." When I said that, he gave me an angry look with his giant face.

I quickly smiled and said, "Let's do it then." In no time he called all the boys and they started cheering me up, Emreal, Emreal, Emreal. Hehhe, In my mind I was crying, I already tried it the first time and I couldn't. It's not even the smallest one, it's the one with double blocks.

I bent and tried lifting it and in no time I started sweating profusely, I dragged and dragged but I couldn't carry it, the big voice from behind kept repeating "carry it". So, I just gathered courage picked it up to the chest level, and I saw myself on the ground.

Everyone started laughing, I stood up with shame and burst into laughter too, from that day, I didn't near that place again, each time the boys saw me passing they teased, won't you lift weight today? LoL. Me and weight again? Never!! I have learned my lesson, anywhere I go, I don't touch things anyhow. My hands are always stuck in my pockets
