I'm trying to get in shape. My goal is to be able to do a pull-up properly just now. The machine takes some of your weight off. I'll usually do that for a bit at half my body weight and squats between while I give my arms a small break. When I'm about to finish the pull up machine I put the weight really low. About 30-20 pounds. I'll try to do a few sets of 5. And holy shit. The noises I make when I'm doing the last set or two. I must sound like a dying horse that's auto-tuned over a fox that's trying to orgasm. Even if I try to be quiet I'm still all: "ARRRRUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG(#VB$)FEWCOINR@U#()$*N)@&$%@." I will NEVER judge another person for the sounds they make at the gym again.
