Gym culture is so cringey

Gymshark, all these memes about no pain no gain, selfies in the gym, tatted up “tough guys”, etc... Better to have an identity outside of the gym and just workout and be fit in addition to that. Just lol if working out is your identity. So much cooler to be some anime nerd who is jacked rather than just some jacked guy thats jacked

I'm with you Op...I honestly can't stand it, it's so watered down and 90%of lifters are a walking cliche.

I'm glad fitness is hip. Over half of Americans are overweight now. Overweight=unhealthy=higher healthcare costs.

That's because every martial artist is humble and if you roll in there acting arrogant you will get tuned up.

I have friends that compete in fitness and physique. Many good people. But fitness culture started to be cringe worthy for me about 4-5 years ago.

I rolled with some folks today and did wrestling take down drills. Good folks.

Gym selfies are super cringey. Other than that, I don't really notice anything super cringey at my gym. I'm there to workout, not judge what people are wearing or if they have tats and stuff.

No. But you’re there to judge their gym selfies:/. I see nothing wrong with them, if it’s your passion, plenty of people post pictures of them doing what they enjoy.

I honestly don't see people at my gym taking selfies. Maybe I'm just not noticing, I dunno. I'm talking about the gym selfie's I see on FB and online.

Yea, the term "cringy" is annoying. It reminds me of "normies" in that anyone who calls other people "normies" are themselves "normies" for using such a trendy internet slang. "Cringe" is a word so overused it's "cringe-worthy" when people use it.

I agree 100%. Even just having tats while being jacked is cringey imo. And holy cringe at acting like lifting is some virtuous epic battle that can only be won through pain, struggle, hard work, and self sacrifice. I swear the way these ****atrons talk about lifting you'd think they were talking about actual combat. Like, am I the only one that thinks lifting is fun and feels good? wtf...

I grew up in an era where the number sign was either the number sign or pound sign. I was confused as to how it became called the hashtag, first time I saw it was on a friends post of his twig legs saying #legdaysneverbutlookatmygiantarms. I hate the youths of today.

Honestly bodybuilders and those who are into the "aesthetics" in my experience are the worst.

Man I'm just an IT guy nerd with glasses deep down. Most my MMA friends are tatted up tradies. Any of them or my competitors have always shown me respect.

Only time someone tried to make themselves feel above me was some random bber. But it's apples to oranges when you compare a sport where's you're 1v1 someone fighting and a subjective sport centered around looks.

They're in every sport though I get that.
