I think a lot of you need to adjust your perspective.

I'm impressed every time I see someone in the gym pushing themselves outside their comfort zone. I'm impressed when I see people week after week, month after month and they're progressing in some way or another.

a series of short tasks over a relatively longer period of time is life. altruistic light moves under the cover of your own darkness.. find this inner torch bearer and accompany them to the end. we all walk together, but we all walk alone. there is no understanding or purpose beyond that

Nothing really impresses me in the gym, but what does impress me is that I see some of the same guys every single day almost, and we never speak (only fist bump), but when we see each other somewhere in public we all act like we buddies.

I was at HomeGoods loading up some big dressers, and I only had my wife with me, but this dude I always see in the gym came running and was like man I got you.



Real *****s bruh. My wife asked if we knew each other and we were both like.. "nah but we are always in the gym together". Didn't even know each other's name

I agree but this is how I train (you know that of course) and there is a trainer at the Y I go to that I’ve heard him say to clients, “you can do that when you have help if you know what I mean...”

I’m like wait you have to be taking chit to superset and push yourself...??? Of course it’s why the guy still looks DYEL after years of lifting.

After I got my shoulder surgery, I was rehabbing at this place that trained hs/college athletes who have a shot at the next level.

Never realized what a terrible "athlete" I was until I saw some 17 year old kid jump onto boxes as tall as he was.

I've seen quite a few people hit 500 on bench, but I've never seen anything else like that jump.

That's such a terrible thing to instill in a beginner. That kind of crap gets called out by me regularly. I'm not about negativity in the gym.

people that actually hit failure

good form, don't give a fck about the weight some people are just able to move chit so fluidly it's mesmerizing (see any lee priest lifting vid for example)

paper thin skin

actual powerlifters

anyone regardless of physique when they cut, always cool seeing a noticeable difference in someone week by week when they stick to a cut

anyone below the age of 20 that looks like they lift

anyone above the age of 55 that looks like they lift

Seeing someone lift a decent amount of weight without grunting like a total douche.
