I think that a weight lifting game is too complicated for a first graphical game, so I think I will go with a platformer

Keep in mind that if this your first platformer, your physics are going to take a while to figure out and debug.

Yea a sim, lifting has been part of my life for 2 years, and hopefully for the rest of my life, so why not do a game about that? sounds good on paper, but trying to think of all the equations and stuff, not my cup of tea for the moment

From what I've been experiencing any game can be overcomplicated when it's the first graphical game. I tried making a text adventure several years ago, I never finished it but I was quite doing it.

Later I tried most of the possible starting possibilities (cloning), pong, tetris, pacman, arkanoid, platformer, top down shooter, etc, and I got stuck with all of them, except a 2 player pong (no AI for 1 player).

So I guess, just stick to an idea and do the necessary ressearch, and you should pretty much be able to do it. My problem was getting taken down when I was stuck for too long with a necessary issue.
