So, how's resolution season treating you gym fags?
>>35501366
Not a resolution because i started around december 1st, but pretty good.
>>35501366
there is no such a thing as new year resolution in my country culture, i don't get what's all this fuss about, there are the same people as always in the gym
The issue I have with this NYR shit is not that people wanna come and get fit, fuck I RESPECT that, a lot - it takes balls.
What really fucks me off is faggots and bitches who join the gym just to turn up to try and fucking look good. They're not working hard, not putting effort in - they're there to try and attract attention when in reality they can't lift shit and are about as aesthetic as a toe nail.
Rant over.
>>35501366
Noticed one guy out of about ten who I think will keep going. A lot of them are hairy old men who have never been fit and probably never will. Lots of people show up and do cardio though so the freeweights area is still relatively empty.
>had to drive around for 10 minutes because the parking lot was full
I WANT RESOLUTIONERS TO LEAVE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>35501366
I work as a trainer in a local gym and for five days I've been answering the same beginner questions over and over, knowing that only about 5% of the NYRs will still train in four weeks. But for those 5% I would and will do it again year after year.
>>35501952
>there are people who die never being healthy
Fuark
Luckily, I've never actually even been inside a commercial gym. I started lifting in college, so I had the uni gym. And then I decided to put together my own home gym, since it would cost me less than 2 years of gym membership anyway and I could be super lazy and work at home, alone, and naked.
College gym didn't have NYR fags, but it had new semester fags, which are basically the same thing I guess.
>>35502065
aren't you scared of smashing your benis.
>>35501406
This shit drives me up a wall. It's mostly girls who just sit around and gossip while "using" the machines and by using I mean they sit there for 10 minutes then do ONE set of incredibly light weight. Light is relative but it's obvious as fuck when someone is not even putting any effort in, not even challenging themselves.
Why come to the gym if you're not even really going to try?
>>35502002
well they still would habe been babies and toddlers once. they don't remember ever being healthy though.
>>35502086
a lot of them actually fear putting in effort will make them look manly. some don't even know what effort is and some are just lazy.
I don't care about the resolutioners, they don't touch free weights.
>>35502084
Because a thin layer of underwear and gym shorts would protect your benis from damage?
Most of them didn't last 5 days
>>35501406
Just goes to show, becoming fit is suppose to not only shape your body, but also your mind. In addition to squats and heavy lifts, we're suppose to learn patience and discipline; to learn our body's limits, how to safely push them, and temper the fire inside us. So if we resolve to just throw aside balance and cheat our way to the finish line, then we best prepare to be consumed by our own fiery greed and impatience.
>>35502159
and why would they? if they actually wanted improvement in their lives they would pick goals, not resolutions.
>>35502195
Nice.
>>35502218
>goals, not resolutions.
Could you elaborate on the difference pls
noticed a lot of new people smashing out some curls last night around 10:30 when it's usually nearly emptied out. was nice and quiet by the rack though so no complaints.
I work out around midnight so no one in the gym.

Weird, I've never noticed before but his legs actually aren't THAT bad...just no definition above the waist
>>35502310
a resolution is a firm decision to do or not do something. there are no separate long term resolutions and short term resolutions. these resolutions are static.
a goal is something you want to achieve and have planned your way to achieve. you can have long term goals and short terms goals to get you closer to your long term goal. once that goal is achieved you'll usually want more and upgrade your goal.
>conscription just ended
>join a gym to avoid going back to being a couch potato
>no experience with weird ass machines and most techniques because we mostly did core and other shit that 150 people can do at a time with minimal material costs

I should just go and look like a retard anyway.

Baby dick detected
How is going little fella?
>>35502065
hmm lifting naked? sounds fun!
>>35503498
Just go. After a few times you know what to do and after a month the rest of the NYR are gone.
>>35501366
as someone who just started working out in august at a gym where everyone is jacked, i finally feel superior to others in that gym.
>2 women walking around the gym on all fours
>some guy swinging from the pullup handles, just swinging
>weights disorganized as shit
not too bad though i guess
Instead of going at my usual time at 5 pm I started going at 5 am.
All of these resolution fags don't have the will power to show up at that time.
>con to showing up at 5 am
All of the regulars that showed up at 5 pm are now starting to show up at 5 am, including angry HGH Trenbolone 60 year old black man.
He is always very angry.

Like I said...You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body, it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower body... No, you don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't have much as a problem.

Me too man. I started lifting 2 months ago (did a lot of cardio until i started lifting to lose some weight first) and today I was squating 1.25 plates while some NYR guy was squating 0.5 plate next to me with bad form (he did not even go down to parallel). I wanted to correct his form, but I am not sure if it would seem too douchy....

I haven't been to the gym since the morning of the 31st

This may be baffling to hear but not everyone has a gym within walking distance. It's a 35 min walk to my closest gym. And it's fucking freezing out.
>>35504675
> running outside
...but it's cold
>>35501981
>not cycling to the gym like our lord scooby
It was my first day in the gym today.
I took a training program from the sticky post here on /fit/.
I was confident as i had prepared papers and i also had been watching a lot of videos on how to perform shit.
I started with the bench press and it was all good because i had been doing this one before and i wasn't able to notice people looking at me because my eyes were up in the roof anyway.
I then saw that the place for Squat were available, so i rushed over there with my towel, notes and pen.
I did one dip first and i fucked it up not having my foots flat. I got ashamed but tried it out once more. I still fucked up in the same way. There were people on both sides. Some were looking and some were not. Who would not honestly? A fatty trying to perform godlike methods.
I got kinda ashamed of myself and went home.
>>35505118
don't give up
>>35505127
Thank you anon.

is that a long walk for you?
on Sunday I went in at normie hours and was one of the biggest guys there, caught one guy looking out the corner of his eyes at me shoulder pressing 10 kg heavier than he was benching

>>35505118
Don't fucking quit on us anon. Don't fucking do it. It fucking sucks to be new to the gym, especially around the new year, and it's easy to get caught up in what the other people think about you.
Forget them bro. Fuck them. Everyone starts somewhere and this just happens to be where you start. Fix your form that you fucked up on, don't worry if you mess up a few times with it, just make sure to fix it. Go back to that fucking gym and fucking make it.
We're all gonna make it bro, you better run with us.
>>35505489
I got manly tears in my eyes now. Thank you anon! Have a great life.
My coach changed gyms Monday the 4th. I followed to the new powerlifting gym. 5x3 deadlift at 505 lbs, not confused for nyr. Am I gonna make it?
>>35505118
Watching videos is not enough to learn how to squat. Read SS and post form checks on /plg/ if you prefer the low bar squat style or read Greg Everetts guide to olympic weightlifting and post form checks in /owg/ for high bar.
>>35505118
DON'T FUCKING QUIT
If you quit you ain't gonna make it
Don't think about the assholes judging you, because at some point in their lifting lives they had to learn to lift just like you're doing now.
If you base your life outlook and opinion on onlookers, you're not gonna make it.
Focus on yourself and fucking try, and there's no harm in asking someone for pointers or >paying for an educated trainer, even for a day so they can walk you through the motions.
Despite feeling like I"m having a fucking nervous breakdown, I think it'll be fine once this move is over.
30 more days. Just watch my diet until then.
>>35504832
Yeh girls at the gym, third time I saw the same QT teen chick this year. Gets on treadmill to do 15 mins of "HIT"/going from a 2 minute walk to a 2 min 6mph "run".
Then onto the stretches. No sweats, no puffing, then leaves. Why even leave the house? And if by some grace of god a recovery session from something outside of the gym why waste your money, theyres a nice and safe park across the road.
Did I mention she was cute though?
I will have to keep an eye on here to make sure her routine changes.

Hey, use the NYR-bait discounts to jew the gym (who expect to sell 1 year memberships at a discout, then actually make more money because they paid for ~6 months and only went for a week). Maybe get some advice on proper lifting and whatnot as well (though at my old gym it looked like the trainers hadn't got a fucking clue. Squats in the smith machine.)
>>35505118
Dude. We don't bash people doing, or even trying to do, real lifting. The NYR hate meme is about the faggots who go to the gym to mosey along on the treadmill and use a buncha machines. Ask for some help. Do some bar-only lifts to get your form down. I've never seen anyone judging for doing light weights.
This is going to be my 5th year lifting. I can't have any kind of resolution really. My PR's are starting to stagnate. Which is ok.
I'm not interested either in dropping strenght training for building musle training.
I'm happy enough knowing i'm stronger than the average.
>>35505118
if your feet are going up try going down without the bar and pushing your knees out with your arms. if you're still Lifting your heels try spreading your stance a little if you're STILL lifting your heels put some 5s under your heels.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO MAKE IT!
>>35503498
Was in the same boat mate. Used to lift when in then due to injuries sustained during my terminal leave I have to restart. Worth it, but on the negative side of things it's New Years. Good news , is a friend and I ended pounding down some drinks and she admitted that I had a good body and she wants to work out with me. Too bad for her it's leg day tomorrow

I go a powerlifting gym which is just basically a converted warehouse full of bars and free weights with a few rarely used cardio machines upstairs.
Everyday I've been there since Jan 1st I've seen 5-10 people walk in and talk to the guy behind reception. Around 80% of them just turn around and leave, the remaining 20% stand around awkwardly doing curls and pushups.

If I see another fuccboi with that trendy hitler youth (the stupid version that makes your hair go up in the air 10cm) haircut doing 3 curl variations and then flexing in front of the mirror I will be ANGRY.
I always thought things like this are exaggerated when people talk about it but they are 100% true.
I'm so sick of all this vanity and ooga booga behaviour.
And yet I'm the idiot because I get angry while the fuccbois go home feeling good.

Enjoy losing the sleep gains.
I signed up at the gym in December. I'll be running a half marathon in April and want to strengthen legs.
Find I have awful form and terrible core deficits coupled with abysmal ROM.
I am that awful nyr meme.
Body feels better so I'm committed. I'd like to squat my body weight by end of month. Possible for a noob to go from 140 to 180 squat in that time frame?
>>35512586
go up 5lbs every other week and you'll squeak by on march 29

I worked in a gym for 2 years. You are such a typical New Year's Fag that it's depressing. Every New Year's Fag just wants to strengthen some things and run in a half marathon in the Spring and they buy their gym membership in December because they just can't wait to tackle their fitness dreams. You are going to fail because you'll give up and try it again next year.

DYEL here. I do these before bed on rest days. Usually just one set and I go until I can't anymore. I used to be able to do 50 but I stopped for a while and now I can only get up to 25. They're actually a lot of fun and they can be a good party trick in the right situation.

You can, your the only one preventing your own progress. counting calories isnt hard and its relatively self exploratory, and choose a beginner routine or something, SL or whatever.

Just because you've been going to the gym for 2 months doesn't mean you're any better than a resolutioner or anyone else for that matter. This post is a hilarious combination of insecurity & ignorance though so good luck with that

Bullshit
One of my relatives married a fatbody, and they've had a kid. To the surprise of absolutely fucking no-one, the baby was fat as hell and has turned into a fucking butterball toddler
my relative is getting fat as well now. And his wife is severely pregnant but you literally can't tell because she's so fat. 100% not exagerating that point at all. So I have another fatass baby relative to look forward to.
That entire family causes me to despair. He used to go for long walks every night and hit the gym regular, now he's twice as heavy as when he started dating her.
/vent
i guess the point is even babies can be fat

Since I turn up about an hour before closing time, I've not noticed any truly retarded people.
I have noticed a migration of regulars turning up later though
>>35521343
I understand. Exercise and losing weight really does help with depression, for me it gave me a place that I could escape to. Also having a routine really helped with bringing back some purpose into my life. Gym helping depression is certainly not a meme

>>35521371
I had a routine and everything and was going hard for 9 months. Went from 340 to 260lbs in that time. Was aiming for 175lbs. I just lost sight of my goals, got lazy and too comfortabl and ended up back where i started because i couldn't control my eating.
I could tell everyone was proud of me and i feel ashamed that i failed. I bet everyone knew it was going to happen and it was nothing but a fluke.

cha brah i go hard in the gym brah suck my dick no homo brah
>>35521408
Dude, the only thing I can say is prove them wrong. You know yourself you have it in you to succeed, just go out and do it. If you went hard for 9 months, that's fucking crazy good man. 9 months is a long time, and if you were willing to dedicate yourself to the gym and clean eating for 9 months, then you can definitely do it again, and for longer this time.
>>35521424
Then bust out that e-dick an i'll get to succin

I'm a very self-consensus guy. When i was 260lbs i was told my stomach looked like a deflated tire and my confidence that i worked so hard for disappeared in an instant. I proceeded to binge eat shortly after.
>>35501381
Yep. Same here. Though I mostly go to underground steroidbro gyms with few machines so I don't think they attract the nyr fag crowd.
>>35521483
You know what, fuck that mentality. Of course it looks like a fucking tire, youre 260 lbs of fat. Nobody looks good at 260 lbs of fat. Just keep going, no excuses.
>>35521535
I was 260lbs of fat, now it's close to 370.
Like i said, i basically have to start all over.
Just remember, if you lose weight, you'll have fewer friends

Nice one man. Listening to music at the gym is absolutely mandatory for me too. Need to buy some new earphones for my Ipod now I think about it.
>>35501366
Am the only one in the gym. Every 10 minutes or so, some people look in at the entrance, saying hi, then mumbling to themselves and leaving after 2 minutes.
That's about it so far. I guess this gym is too small for them or something.
>>35521565
Good, I've no friends and I'm a burden on my loved ones.
Getting fit means I lose dead weight, and so does my family.
Uni gym. It doesn't really seem to get any busier around New Years. I guess it's mostly attended by people too young to have "get healthy" as a first priority for resolutions. It does get busier around the beginning of new terms, just new beginnings, or people that want to get back to it after they slacked off for mid terms and never came back.
>>35501366
3/3 on workouts.
6/6 on hitting my goal caloric deficit.
Thanks for asking, anon.
>>35504210
Nice! Keep going
>>35521643
The only bad thing is i have to walk two miles to the gym when its 32f outside. ;-;
>>35521754
Why not run those 2 miles.
You'll arrive at the gym warmed up.
>>35521766
>370lb man running
It's like you want my knees to snap.
>>35501366
I've seen some dumb shit,as expected, but I'm kind of proud of myself /fit/
Hell I'm pretty fucking happy,
There was a skelly who had been coming in and just kind of fucking around watching people and trying to emulate what he saw. He followed me around doing just about my entire routine, he'd used next to no weight and his form was way the fuck off, but the little bastard was trying so hard guys, sweat was pouring off this kid, he got pale, lips looked cracked obvs dehydrated and ill nourished, I was going to say fuck it and forget about him, but I felt sorry for him, I was where he was when I started ( I did research and such before hand and light training though ) I was king skelly 6'3' 110lbs soaking wet before, so I knew where he was coming from.
Came home and posted about it here in an NYR thread and with a push from some anons I threw him together a care package of sorts, some whey, vitamins, supps, weighted chains, handwraps, just a ton of shit I either didnt use or had more of than I needed and tossed it in my trunk figuring I'd give it to him if/when I saw him again.
He was there the next evening, it was like Christmas bruhs, I came in and chatted to him, got the stuff outta my car and watched him just light up, I felt like father fucking Christmas and spent 2 solid hours just going over shit and making notes for him. Spent some time on glorious diddlylift OHP bench and squat teaching proper form and covering basics, he managed surprisingly well, really well mannered kid, brokefag family like mine, used his first check from his first job to get the membership.
I've seen him every time I go in, I'm there 5 days a week and worried he's gonna fuck himself up though... he's like my gym son, asking me questions, mirin' my lifts, just shooting shit in general. Even played a game of chess and took him for some post workout BBQ.
It feels so fucking good /fit/
I need this kid to make it.
> fatty
> been going to the gym since November
> look like a NYR'
Oh well. At least i'm getting stronger every week. Didn't lose weight for like a month and a half, got sick and missed a week and a half of gym time. It's been a week since I started going and i'm 3.5lbs lighter. I want to make it, friends. I'm going to make it.
>>35521774
Do you do any cardio at the gym?
>>35501366
i use the gym at work, normally go towards the end of the day, when it's quiet.
went early... few people in full gear doing not much, pretty normal. one couple struck a nerve tho.
>guy's forearms dwarfed his calves, his quads weren't much bigger (bi's defiantly bigger than his quads), girl was a little chubby, whatever
>they go to the oly platforms, going to do some deads (happy to see)
>broceif loads up 1pl8, belt on and does 6 reps, looking like a question mark
"oh man this belt helps so much"
>girl loads the 35s, good on her
FUCKING BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG
>she is not just dropping it down, she is throwing it
>dude ends up working his way up to 90kgs
> his form improves somewhat, still fucking terrible
>girl slams the weight down after every rep
> they film themselves for some of the sets
>>35521822
Good shit anon
>>35521826
I used to when i was smaller. I used to do an hour of cardio every time i went to the gym. One time i managed to "burn" 1450cal on a treadmill but to be honest i don't really trust those treadmill cal tickers. lol
Starting out i would power walk for so long then jog and then run when 5 minutes were left. When i got to my last minute i would sprint as fast i as i could. Seeing a 260lb guy sprint is funny i would assume but i did it. Felt alive every time i did it. I dunno how well those treadmills track speed but the highest i got was 11mph but as i said i don't really trust those things.
>>35521612
You piece of shit, you wasted all that time for nothing. You better go back out there and lose all that weight again, and if you don't do it this time you're never gonna do it. You'll die a lone and a loser. Don't stop until you hit 180. It's gonna take you a year or two but if you don't do it NOW you NEVER WILL.
>>35521894
Talking to me that way will just make me not do it.
>>35521864
Yeah, if you could get back to like 260lbs, then you could start treadmilling again. I completely understand what you mean, running brings such a thrill, it was my favourite thing to do at the gym. Honestly if you just eat clean and go to the gym without much cardio, you can return to like 250lbs and start running again.
>>35521949
My goal for cardio was 1500 in an hour. You don't know how pissed i was to be 50 cal short of that goal.
>>35504906
lmao at you mate, you don't know shit after two months.
>>35507705
> powerlifting gym
> rarely used cardio machines
The meme is real
>>35521902
then fuck you, there's one loser in that scenario and it's not me.
>>35502195
This is pasta but it's completely true.
lots and lots of middle aged women in my gym. apparently they all quit again too because the gym was p empty today.
all the younger guys who just joined already seem to know what they're doing though. sadly. because now a bunch of dyels are hogging the few squat racks my gym has. empty bar squats all around.
i hope none of them quit though otherwise they have wasted my time for nothing.
>>35522080
And they say weightlifters aren't assholes.

>>35521822
Your post made me smile. I hope he makes it.
>>35521822
Anon, I'm in tears right now. You are a true gymbro.
>>35521822
Why are my eyes watery after reading this, anon?
>>35521822
You are the hero NYRs need
>>35524289
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little manlet? Ill have you know I graduated top of the Starting Strength program, and Ive been involved in numerous milk jugging competitions, and I have over 300 confirmed lifts. I am trained in Rippetoe style and Im the top squatter in the entire US lifting circles. You are nothing to me but just another personal record. I will wipe you the fuck out with a hip drive the likes of which has never been seen before in this gym, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, curlbro. As we speak I am calculating your TDEE and your calories are being burned right now so you better prepare for a gains drain, resolutioner. The gains drain that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call you call a PR. DYEL, kid? I can lift anywhere, anytime, and I can send you to snap city in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with a barbell. Not only am I extensively trained in my home gym master race, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the collected works of Scooby on youtube and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable lifts off the face of the continent, you little T-Rex. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you wouldn't have curled in the fucking squat rack. But you could, you did, and now youre paying the price, you fucking manlet. I will do at least 4 all over you, C'MON. Youre fucking dead, brah.
>>35521902
What is it with people like this? So you'd rather dream about it and make excuses? Fucking give it all you've got or blow.
>>35501985
You are doing the lord's work.

Resolutioner pls quit already

What the fuck anon. I was pretty hardcore skelly mode at 145 at your height
>>35522953
Assholes to faggots like you. Go cry into your ice cream and die soon fatty
Small gym, so just 1 extra guy came. Some older hairy fatass, went to cardio room, didnt even turn the light or fan on (gym in basement)
>>35522039
The squat rack is their cardio machine, duh.
>>35529237
It was beyond bad dude, my shit was atrphied from doing nothing but playing WoW on a coffee whiskey soup and prescribed antipsychotics and antidepressants diet, I had a padded bench instead of a computer chair so after I was done playing I'd just sleep there, only time I left the house was to walk over to the bridge to see if I could bring myself to jump that day. I was the definition of Auschwitz Mode. As of my weigh in today I'm at 185 and little buddy is 125 at 6'2".
>>35521822
Doing God's work anon.
well, i had a broken leg since december, so I can't start until i can walk on two feet.
I fucked up my left leg and right arm a few months ago and only now are they healed enough to start working out again
shit stucks because now /I/ look like the NYR

Because my ego is fragile.
>>35530056
Reddit is calling you
>>35530852
Your ego would be less fragile if you lost some weight, right?
>>35530852
>my ego is fragile
cmon, a year ago i was fucking stabbed and nearly died, you can imagine how fragile my ego is now
but you on the other side just have to motivate yourself a bit, you can do it and you know it, hope you will make it
>>35504359
where do indians poo at the gym?
Y>>35514646
Yeah I was bitching. I haven't been resting and a cold is kicking my ass right now.
I have run a marathon a 18mo ago. I just want a respectable time on this half.
I've checked my ego at the door and scaled back my expectations
>>35531140
But anon, i can leg press 500 pounds. my upper body is the weak part. I can barely chest press 150
>>35501366
I can't stand it, there's this new 6'1 amazon goddess behind the counter every time I walk in, classy as fuck alpha sales female and I'm only 5'10, would totally ask her out because she stares at me (chicks like my eyes for some reason) for those 3 uncomfortable I'm-going-to-beat-your-dick-into-submission seconds but every time I get close I smell the amount of makeup she has on and I'm reminded of a goddamn pharmacy and completely lose my 1/2 mast but fuck.
its honestly not bad at my gym haven't really noticed new people
>>35505118
Don't give up now Anon, you're on the road to becoming so much more!
>be me, chubby fuck
>lifted for about 3 months around this time last year (not related to a resolution, just coincidence)
>quit because freelance work in evenings picked up and didn't have/make time
>late december, gf asks me if I want to go with her
>been wanting to get back to it, so say yeah, fuck it, let's start tonight
>turns out it was a NYR for her
>I'm an accidental NYR fag
shit.
>go to gym, sparse population because off hours
>struggle through sets with my little fischer price weights
>stretch for squat, get into rack with empty bar for warmup
>go down, can barely even get to half-squat
my form was always bad, but jesus christ
>ask dude at the desk if he'd help me with my form
>happy to help, gives me like a half hour of nonstop advice, hammers my form into shape, squatting feels great again
>does the same thing next time on my rows, unsolicited but very welcome
dude's been a lifesaver. although, I was doing a greyskull variation routine and he's advised me to switch to hypertrophy at the start to build some mass to strengthen and help me with my main goal of losing fat. it's against all the advice I've read online, but fuck it, it's more personalized at least.
Liftan's so goddamn fun though.

Jsut got back from the gym, this one caught my eye.
>lady going to each pussy spreader machine
>not even working out, just looking at her phone
GJ lady, you're doing so well.
>>35501366
I see something dumber each day passing. I saw some dude starting in shoulder press position with two 5 kg dumbbells and then rotating his arms 90 degrees for like 20 reps and 10 sets. Saw some guy get trapped under a barbell because he put the rails too low for him to move away. Saw some girl doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKLwqbad9JM on the dead lift mat. I have yet to see an unmotivated fatty.
>>35521560
What that guy looks like under the shirt lol.
Fatties will never make it, it was already over when you became a fat fuck with stretch marks.
>>35533192
Size does not equal strength anon. If you want strength you should be doing strength training.
>>35524289
You have autism
(BTW I had to solve 8 captchas to post this wtf is going on)
>>35526374
It depends what time you go. I used to go to my old base's gym at around 8pm and leave at closing. Most of the base would get off work around 4pm or 430 and the gym would be filled with every meme that you can think of. After that, it was just the regulars.
>>35532871
>my ego is fragile
Fuck you, I dont even want you to make it anymore. I hope you quit.
>>35534605
while this is probably bait i cant help but feel the truth behind it, if i was like 30kg fatter i feel like i would never have had the nerve to start going to the gym
>>35512586
Yep definitely, especially with noob strength gains, just push yourself hard each time
>>35521380
That was the joke you muppet
>>35521822
So...have you fucked him yet?
>>35535268
I don't see it like bait at all. These people wrecked their bodies. Not matter how hard they try, they won't look good naked, not even after they remove the excess skin. It's already game over, aesthetics wise, if someone goes past a certain weight. The fatest I've been was 200lbs at 5'9 a few years ago and now my back is full of stretch marks. Luckily that was my wake-up call. So yeah, good for them on wanting to make a change but it's only going to benefit them health wise.
