I just started gym 4 days ago and the gym instructor asked me to start my training with gym equipment such as chest press, arm curl etc.

So I started with weight around 30-40 lbs for all equipments. But I wanted to increase the weight but I can't handle weight more than 40 lbs. Whenever I asked people around me about my problem I get answers like " Are u kidding me? 40 lbs above also can't do?"

So I need advices on how to increase my strength. Thx and sorry for the bad English.

Give them a middle finger and keep doing your thing. You go there to build muscle, not ego. Check your form. Patient and consistency will brings you result.

Are you sure its 30-40kg of arm curl! and not pounds?

Immaterial, if its kg or pounds, you are already doing well as to start with a program.

Ignore the nay sayers, and continue with your program. Soon you would see progress.

all the best!

Oops, should be pounds. Thanks for your advice.

The Son of Odin does not need advice on strength!

haha nice one.

The son of Odin will be a woman soon.

a good one!!

haha the troll is strong on this reply

And don't fool yourself. Your magical hammer may look heavy but it's magic. Lift a real hammer to gauge your real strength.

I was talking about Odin spoiling his son too much. Always had it is. Could've given him a real manly hammer but noooo.... magical lightweight shit.
