Benchthis, I think you suffer from a major lack of imagination;

a foursome with the 3 islander looking chick would certainly turn things around 8)...

Are you in fucking El Paso, TX?

Used to live there man..

Used to live near Vista Hills Country Club... My dad was working for Government programs at the time, I was like 16 and that's where I actually started training... don't remember the name of the gym thought. But I was already showing great potential 8).

hey triplepicklelicker, I think they are right here. Some beginners have extremely poor balance (people who have never worked out) and coordiantion. Even balacning the bar, for example on the benchpress, can be a big hassle. Developing a bit of strength with machines before venturing into free weights is a great idea IMO.
