I find that there's a correlation between how much time people put into their outfit/gym social media/etc. and how successful they are in real life

There's a clear distinction though. The broke guys might have one or two expensive pieces of gear.

The 6 figure businessman comes in with the full nike set + $140 training shoes, wrist wraps, knee wraps, sweatbands, shaker bottle, smartphone holder, $300 bluetooth headphones and their pristine gym bag.

Am I the only one who notices this? You can spot them because they're usually over 35 and wear traditional style training gear, none of that tapered gym pants/deep cut stringer stuff.

I wish I spent as much time developing useful skills instead of spending so much time lifting. Maybe I'd actually know something useful.... like how to fix cars or how to snowboard or something. Instead I can just lift moderately heavy things and have somewhat larger than average arms (years of working out and still on DYEL status)

I guess I was speaking more to the "Train INSAYAIN, Shut up and Squat" and gym shark stuff, not necessarily just expensive gear in general.

Things are a bit more antagonistic here from what I can tell. I still manage to make lots of friends at the gym somehow. If everyone is showing up at the same time all the time, you kinda have to be.

A 6 page thread about gym culture being cringey.. on bodybuilding.com.. shows Reddit neck beards have fully infiltrated.

Nobody seems bothered when people post pics of them consuming copious amounts of booze as if that’s any better, or posting pics of them doing any other hobby. Lol.

Don't have a problem with humble gym brahs who occasionally post to IG with a PR or a physique update. It's the *******s who upload the same chitty posts on a day to day basis and talk about the 'grind' and the 'struggle', when gymcelling is a fukkin hobby for 90% of us. It's like someone who plays golf talking about how hard it is to go play golf with the boys on a saturday afternoon.
Some of them aren't bad, and know their ****, Amanda Bucci, Stephanie Buttermore, Nikki Blackketter.

I still watch Chris Jones of Pumpchasers as well.

I enjoy lifting, working towards building a well-rounded physique and even compete in bodybuilding, but I can't stand the cringey gym culture that's on social media. It's great that people have hobbies that they're into, but they don't have to post every second about it with cliché motivational quotes as if they're saving the world.

Now someone who can give 100% in the gym then allow that mindset to carry over into other aspects of life and excel at everything they do? That's something to admire IMO, sadly for many of these fitness models there's no substance or depth to who they are.


A lot of those people are one-dimensional and that's the only thing that they have going for them in life. Good for them if that's enough, but I much rather pursue other things.

I totally agree. Most of the content out there now is for newbies and doesn't pertain to more advanced lifters.

Same here. I tried compression shirts but found them binding and constricting overall. Regular Ts get wet and sticky.

I wear a tank, but also carry a towel (this used to be required), so there's never any skin contact with the machine, and nobody can complain.
