U.S. — A new study has found that everyone at the gym is, in fact, watching you and laughing at your little sissy dumbbells.
"Our study concluded that the feeling you get of being watched at the gym is because everyone is snickering at how weak you are," said lead researcher Dr. Graham Hadwin. "People are actually mocking you so much more than you ever thought possible."
Men who lift weights have long sensed that all the other gym-goers were secretly laughing at their pathetic muscles and terrible form. "Just as I suspected," said local man Dan McMillan, upon hearing the study's results. "I could just feel the stifled chuckles every time I picked up my puny little barbells. The constant feeling of judgment for how much I sweat from just doing lunges - I knew it wasn't in my head."
According to sources, every athletic trainer and gym employee in the country is in on the joke. "We love to tell people to do high reps with low weight so we can laugh at how dumb you look with your girly little baby weights," said personal trainer Rod Evans. "Sometimes, all of us trainers get together for a beer after work just to laugh at you even more. No matter how much you think people are judging you, trust me - the truth is way worse."
At publishing time, the research team revealed that everyone is also watching out their windows when you jog around the neighborhood and laughing at how slow you are.

What’s wrong with 10 pound dumbells?..................
ha ha!
20 seconds....
This is satire, but if you’re serious, nothing. Just hold them out to your sides at arms length for an extended period of time.

oops...44 seconds
They're usually attached atop the necks of liberals.
LOL.
That’s hilarious.
In the college weight room, as long as you were there…you never got made fun of. Today, I got to the gym in my old gym clothes and laugh to myself at the $300 gym outfits on fat people. But…they are there.
It would have been funnier had they used 2 or even 5 pounds................

Hey! He almost got flying!
C’mon man!!!
That is so funny!!! Planet Fitness is for those that don’t really want to be around real weightlifting.
I will never set foot in a Planet Fitness. Apparently, people who are making a real effort at getting stronger are not welcome there.
Thanks. Saved me from having to look it up.
10lb dumbbells are for girls.
I always suspected they were laughing at me. This just confirms it…

I have heard that they have a grunt alarm.
I have lifted in places like World Gym in the past, and there were always a few of those annoying guys who grunted way too loud and long and they got made fun of because they would do it even when they weren’t lifting heavy, but on the flip side, I think it’s also stupid to shame people for pushing hard. Not everyone subscribes to the concept of lifting to failure, but most serious lifters do it.
