Best Answer

The force of the lift accelerating you upward is added to the force dur to gravity. You feel this as added weight. The same effect happens when it stops moving going downward, and the opposite occurs when you begin going down or stop going up. You are not resisting the force of gravity and you do not feel the weight; for some of that time, you are actually freefall.

Just started exercise and weights yesterday and woke up gaining 3 ponds today i think they say this is normal but i still feel dicouraged how can i get encouraged to keep going?

OK, the reason you just gained 3 pounds is because your muscles tighten and they get swollen because they are not used to being put under that much strain. If you keep up your work out then your muscles will get used to it and then you would be able to lift heavier objects and keep improving your workout.
