Can't believe how much the gym culture has changed in 15 years
Starting to feel like an old man when I see this new generation of "lifters" at the gym. I first joined a gym when I was 21 and unknowingly to me it was the hardcore gym in town and it just had such a different vibe. Thought this was the norm for gym culture. Seen ifbb pros on he reg, as well as up and comers to the pro leagues. Everyone wore Gasp or ANIMAL shirts, otomix shoes and were just humble all around. Noone thought they were hot shi.t even though many of them should of had a justified self worth.
Now I go to a more commercial gym unfortunately and all I see is Brocoli top kids wearing gymshark, crocs (or no shoes at all), spend more time on their phone than actually lifting, flexing their little 13 pipe cleaner arms in the mirror after every set thinking they're hot shi.t. Overhear them talking and all I hear is tren tren tren or how cbum is the biggest bodybuilder ever
It sucks getting old misc enjoy your 20's lol

I really dont remember cell phones being that prevalent when I started. I still had an mp3 player at the time lol
Even nowadays I bring my phone but turn the wifi and data off. There to smash a workout for 60 - 90 mins and get out

my issue is fukkers aren't there to lift really, just because it's trendy, and their friends are there...
if you're huge or lifting a chit ton of weight as a brocolli hair ******* that'd be one thing, but they are a waste of space in the gym.

this makes me miss my old gym back in cincy. was old school and known as one of the top BB gym in SW Ohio.
whats weird is at that gym , for whatever reason, you were actually friends with other lifters there. like it was very common for other regulars to just come up and starting BSing with you. most of us found out when one of them would pass. etc. best gym i ever went to.

modesty
no gear talk on the gym floor
people talked about the Olympians
not everyone wore gym shark
no one was bragging about "a new pr"
no crocs
lots of people worked out in hoodies
rare to see cell phones on the gym floor. most people left them in their locker
woman dressed classier (not that I complain about modern day female gym apparel)

If you don't remember the black and white striped clown pants, you missed the heydays.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!
The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.
They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

The first gym I started going to, around 22 years ago, I remember being pretty clueless about everything. A huge bodybuilder and his bodybuilder wife took me under their wing. They saw me lost and helped me. A couple of years later, I remember Edge, from WWE, coming in while they were in town. Super nice guy.
