Cringe gym trends lately

Wtf is up with cringy gym trends lately.


The “pump cover” is up there for cringiest. Ever since that video of Cbum pulling his hoodie off mogging everyone, 75% of dudes stroll in the gym lift with a hoodie on for 30 mins then pull it off revealing the most average physique ever to be seen.

The “sleeper build” is up there too. It’s just skinny guys who don’t look like they lift until the have a pump and flex.


So much cope

The fact you don’t confirms the obvious that you don’t even lift. Pussy

Fukkk this is brutal too.

I get it sometimes if you’re setting PR’s or just want to check form from a different angle. These girls are recording themselves do crunches and stretching lmao.

Its ok for a hot sloot to film herself bending over for her of/insta/tikstok. Its ghey af for some fat dude with wrist/elbow wraps filming himself thinking he is some sort of powerlifter.

That pisses me off like crazy as well. I will sometimes finish 3 different excercises on 3 different machines waiting for the assh0le to get off already. Sometimes I want to tell them to go sit in the lounge area couches if you want to play with your phone. It’s almost like they think they are working out via osmosis just by sitting on the equipment ~ SMH.

These young guys that buy gymshark apparel before they even stepped into a gym. Gymshark has always been the cringiest gym trend imo, but I commend the guy that made a killing off these lemmings that wanna look trendy while training.

Seen this circle jerk of gymshark wearing teens the other day on the bench press. Guy was clearly going to fail a 155 bench but his incompetent spotter let him struggle to the point of complete failure, which led to the plates sliding off the collars.

Holy $hit the George Michael earring from back in the 80’s. I noticed youngsters rocking that as well , surprised to see it back in style some 40 years later!

Fat pigs in leggings with no shame. So much hardstyle music. Girls and their barbell hip thrusts.

All I see is more guys wearing the hoods in the gym with the phrase: "Pain is weakness leaving my body."

I am usually like...."Da fuk?"

And then women with their white Nike Air Force one shoes with long socks rolled down to their ankles while sporting gymshark clothing.

That is pretty much it. Nothing out of the norm.

Two young insta-sloots in sports bras and those shorts that look like they have a bee-hole stitched on the outside came in tonight and used the hip-thrust station for TWO HOURS. They also loaded it up with an ass-ton of weight and when the gym about closed they left all the plates on the bar and didn't put anything back.

I've noticed this too. That along with every other zoomer wearing 5" inseam shorts one size too small.

99% of the time I'm homegym crew, though. Feels good.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Short shorts with a huge sweater usually

I remember going to school and that’s how the women dressed, now it seems the men have picked that up

I wwas talking to one about lifting and he said he wants to get huge legs. I asked him what his plan was and he said "do whatever the women are doing."

Dfs.

Who cares.

I typically just wear an athletic shirt, lululemon shorts, OnClouds, AirPods, and a hat, then go lift more than everyone.
