You aren't doing the gym right.

#1 You should be going to the gym to START your day, I'm there by 6am....only a handful of businessmen and a couple of cute executive assistants doing their morning cardio.
#2 You should be going to a gym that is expensive enough to avoid those demographics
#3 You should have a job good enough where they offer you a corporate gym, or at the very least a high end gym membership for free or discounted.
#4 If all else fails, you should have a home gym at your age.



#5 Why would you complain at looking a stupid young girls wearing what amounts to skin tight body suits & bikinis posing in front of you.....be shameless about staring at them, they want the attention. It's not illegal to look wherever you want.....yet.

Whenever I see someone wearing crocs I automatically assume that they have body odor. I also assume that they are walking around with a dirty ******* and only clean themselves by smearing paper on their hole like a subhuman degen.

i'm not really bothered by it, it's mostly millenials at my gym anyways and some old brahs

yeah there are groups of twinks but they don't really bother me either unless they are doing dumbbell rows in the dumbbell rack, swarming around a machine for like 30 minutes just chatting chit.

I workout at home. Can confirm, it's the best money I have spent on gyms.

I spent 500 dollars which is about 1.5 years gym membership

so...it was well worth it

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.
10-12 years ago if you went to the gym you'd just see some strong/aesthetic dudes in there lifting doing some locker room talk and then heading out within an hour. Nowadays i don't even know if the gym is used for getting stronger or more aesthetic. It just seems like a giant social club. I really miss the old gym culture though if you went you actually had to be pretty strong or you'd be embarrassed to go in there. Because most people looked like they lifted and were benching 2 or 3 plates.

Also the gym was not packed. You might have had 12 dudes in there on a busy day. So you didn't have issues getting equipment and a good workout in.

I truly cannot understand why anybody in their right mind would be at the gym at 5 ****ing AM.

It makes me nauseous.

Not bashing you. It is just not in my DNA. I consistently go evening or even 10pm or so.

people like christian guzman were the big reason why gym culture is why it is the way it is now. it's all about dressing up and not even looking like you lift. any sloot puts on tight spandex which contorts their body and they never lifted in their life. i can't be the only one who remembered when you could wear loose rag clothing and people could tell you lifted. but by far the worst thing is gen z dudes who just hang out in herds 80% don't touch a weight the entire time they are at the gym and they ghetto handshake each other every 5 seconds

I remember when the gym was an empty place and you'd only see a few dudes with buzz cuts or military cuts in there repping off 2 plates. Idk how it got like this lol. It was nothing like this around 2010-2011 srs.

This. This. This.

Leg Press always has a few 45's on it with no one in sight. Bench sometimes has a 45 on each side. Non of these kids put their weights back, its too much work apparently. I used to assume people were in the bathroom or something, because in my experience NO ONE leaves their weights on the equipment after using it. But since that's different now, I've stopped asking and won't hesitate to walk up to an unoccupied leg press with 2 45's already on each side and use it. When I eventually switch gyms, I'll have to stop doing this but 99.99% at my gym if there's weight on a machine but no person or water bottle etc its just some lazy sad sack who left it like that.

EDIT: The other thing I've noticed a few times is dudes wearing a plaid shirt... to the gym... usually unbuttoned with a tshirt under it. Is this real life? Are people really this tryhard for attention? What are you actually thinking if you are like "Yup, I'm wearing my blue and grey plaid to the gym today instead of my nike tshirt."

big thing I'm looking forward to when I get out of uni is having my own home gym, commercial/uni gyms are ok but not ideal for me

people who go early to my uni gym are perfectly fine, no complaints there

there are a TON of broccoli hairs tho ngl

haven't been in a commercial gym since covid
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

best way to start the day

drink some pre on the way to the gym

smash a workout

have a revved up appetite for the rest of the day

go to bed whenever you're tired and get a good sleep

if I work out late in the day I have a hard time falling asleep at night and would rather get more food in post workout rather than workout with a bunch of food in my stomach
