It's so daunting once you get in position and just have a wall of weights staring back at you...

If you notice the little weights sitting on each stack, that's because the machine can literally only hold eleven 45-lb plates per side (i.e., 990 lbs) so I had to balance a five pounder on each side to make it an even thousand.

I'm 6'0" 205 lbs if you're curious for any reason...

Probably the only good thing about being morbidly obese is that my legs were strong enough to do that just from carrying around all that extra weight day to day <_< I don't know if I could still do it at this point though.

IIRC you were fairly thin at one point, right? Either way, you're looking pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I've always been decently strong for my size, but I was never very big. Been trying to bulk up a bit. When I started going to this gym in 2012 I was 150, now I'm 205. Thanks for your kind words!

There's plenty at the gym.
Actually, they used to carry 100-lb plates, which was really nice. But they got rid of them for some reason.

Eh. I'd rather get more than the required range of motion than less. I'll be more careful next time tho.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it
