Is it common to be this weak in a workout?

[James Blunt]

I saw this dudes article somewhere else. Do people work on being weak? This was the saddest thing i've seen in a awhile "I felt a twinge in my abs" hahahahahaha.

ill be cooking up some burgers in a few.
 
Here's the workout in a new format.
 
WORKOUT A 9/19/10
 
Pre: Walk to gym
 
SQUATS
135x2x5
145x3x5
Note: Wanted to go heavier, but my legs wouldnt allow it lol
 
DL
-115x2x5
-125x2x5
-135x1x5
Note: Felt like i was gonna upchuck on the first two reps of 135, lower back was pulsating like mad afterwards, i thought i hurt it.
 
Bench
85x2x5
95x3x5
Note: As 85lbs felt heavy, i had a spotter for the 95lb sets, and i needed him for the last set to help me re-rack...he knew what he was doing when it comes for spotting b/c he didnt "help" with the lift
 
CGBP:
45x1x8
45x3x5
45x1x8
Note: First set i had my hands very close in (one handspan apart from eachother) didnt feel right. So for the last 4 sets i gripped just inside shoulder width.
 
DB Shoulder Press
-15x1x8
-17.5x2x8
-20x1x8
Note: Thought 20lbs would be too heavy, but by the time i got to it my shoulders were nicely warmed up. That might have been my problem in the past, I just went to the weight w/o using lighter weight to prep it.
 
BB BO Row
-40x1x8
-50x2x8
-60x1x8
Note: None
 
DB Hammer Curls

Those numbers are good for a chick or a 12 year old boy.

Is it really?  A 300 pound guy is that big of a pussy???

[Nails]

He stated that calories are calories, so he is on the big kit Kat diet , not much strength can be gained from crispy cookies and chocolate

[Rami]

Nope!

If you are stronger than that you simply taking in to much food.

I hate to admit it, but this is about where I was a few years back.  Weaker than a popcorn fart.

Even in the the far left pic I have a hard time believing that you were doing db shoulder presses with the 15's or were only benching 85-95lbs for sets of 5.  My little sister was naturally stronger than these lifts, and I'm not trying to be funny in saying that

So when are you starting?

[spinnis]

yeah i used 20s I think... but I was only benching 100 or 110 in the beginning.  So i was a little stronger than this guy.  and yeah, my notes were meticulous as well!

On some exercises I were pretty fucking weak even if I weren't a complete twink as a teenager. And these I did when I had been training a couple of years without any thought and came back to it after a break.

-Barbell curl with only the bar: 3*10. I don't remember if I made the reps or not, but it was hard nonetheless. I had terrible endurance. Max might have been 40 kg.
-Overhead press in a Smith, 4*15 or something like that. About 30 kg.
-I could do one rep with about 10 kg in a overhead 1 hand tricep extension. Yeah I had to try what I could do for one rep.
