Most of us non gym people are the other way around. Not me, I'm weak everywhere.

Yea, idk why the pickle jar is so hard to open at the gym. It's like it's trying to embarass me!
They are hard to open due to a vacuum seal. So just take a very small flathead screwdriver and put it under the lid, and apply a small amount of upward force to break the seal. The jar pops, releases the pressure, and now a toddler can open it. I use the nail file on my pocket Leatherman. Works every time.
Stick the tip of a spoon under the lip of the lid and push the handle towards the jar. That should open a little gap that releases the pressure inside the jar and it'll open pretty easily then.
Flip the jar, hit the bottom with the side of your fist while holding it in the air, flip it again, open. Works on all commercially sold jars and 40% granny made ones.
That or knoif if desperate.
Aaaand I guess this is obvious but I lately noticed that some obvious stuff ain't so obvious so who knows, maybe I'll help someone.
All these people are complaining about how hard it is to open a jar, and I'm sitting here scratching my head because the only times I've ever struggled with jars was after someone closed them too tightly. Just don't use a death-grip when you're closing your jars and you'll be fine unless you're elderly or something.
