All I ask is for people to not ****ing sit on a bench or machine and mindlessly look at their phone. I understand that you rest between sets and that is totally fine, but TO SIT ON THE ****ING ROW MACHINE FOR TEN+ MINUTES AFTER YOU ARE DONE ONLY TO GET UP AFTERWARDS IS ****ING WORTHY OF DEATH PENALTY SRS. ded fkn srs.

Lift and leave.
For God so repped the world, that he negged his only begotten Son, that whosoever reppeth in him should not be negged, but have everlasting reps.

I wish there was a pricier gym in my area. All the one's within a reasonable distance are full of tik tok broccoli zoomers and half naked sloots with a victim mentality.

It's pretty annoying trying to do a set and you have a group of soyboys filming tik tok dances and half naked sloots taking butt selfies in the mirror. I want to just lift and gtfo without seeing teenagers flexing their malnourished abs to each other. It's uncomfortable.

If they spent half as much effort lifting then they wouldn't need to photoshop and add filters to find any muscle definition in their snapchats.

Sounds like American youth. In my gym I never see the younger crowd recording anything. Might be clueless with their lifts but so was I at that age, with bad form. Sounds like a kid punked you out OP so you came crying to the misc about it. Sad!

Around 2009 when I started lifting the gym was a serious place where you pushed yourself and lifted and got out. Nowadays you go in there and 95% of the dudes don't even try and are just standing around filming some tik toks.

I find most people just sit around talking about Netflix, post Malone, and brocolli. No one has real hobbies.

When I was younger I used to enjoy going to the gym, now it’s getting harder and more of a chore. I blame Cern and their hadron collider.

Oldcels, have you noticed a difference in how often people rack weights now a days vs the old days? I assume people have always been absolute lazy ****s. The xsport by me is a joke in this regard.

Completely agree. At least Planet Fitness is a little more tolerable because that's what their brand was shooting for. But unfortunately, they're just against the male meathead thing. They've done nothing to address the Stacy issue yet. At the one here in town, I'm seeing more Stacies in skin tight yoga pants with perfect bodies and it's super distracting. It's probably really intimidating for other girls too who don't look that perfect. I wish they would ban the yoga shorts/pants to make the environment better. I have partial home gym but im going to have to push for complete home gym in the next few years. Gyms are terrible.

They don't rerack weights.
I spent the first 2 min moving chit out of the rack before i began my set.
They are all over the floors( hunt for a matching dumbell) and the only thing that makes staff put things back.... is a call to corporate.

Srs though brah, if you're going to go to a public/commercial gym, pepper thine angus to be featured in broccoli brah's Tik Tok video, IG jailb8's new Reel, or any other zoomer's selfie. Such is life for public gymcels.

This ^^ From like 2005 to 2010ish was the GOAT time. No social media, tons of jacked people lifting, Golds was actually a bodybuilders gym, and not a LA Fitness knock off....... everyone tweaking on NO-XPLODE.

Better time for sure.

OP does have a point, so many of you people are pathetic slobs, with no focus, or drive, or goal when it comes to the gym. You have this blank look on your face, you can't put your phone away, you lift like ****, you don't clean up after yourself, etc.

Back in the early 2000s at Xsport, you'd have dumbells on the ground, in front of the dumbell rack. Now they're all over the gym, juat laying on the floor.

Been training at home since November with a pair of dumbbells. Got fed up with the roid cells grunting to impress the sloots, the countless groups of dudes (groups because they’re too scared to go to the gym alone) hogging up space and acting like desperate beta males because of the sloots.

People treat the gym like it’s a fooking club.
