>that girl who always looks at you
>>37615428
The people, men and women both, who obviously are there because they're serious (to one extent or another) about being physically fit.
You can always identify them by observing that there is a deliberateness and purposefulness to what they're doing; they're using an apropriate amount of weight. They're doing more than one set. They're actually focused on what they're doing, not on their phone, or a book, or the TV. They're not dressed almost like they're going out for the evening, they're dressed to *work*, even if (in the case of women) they're dressed nicely. They're the real motivating images at the gym, if you need motivation; they're not just there to be there, they're accomplishing something, working towards a goal, and it shows.
that guy who notices you miring his form and does his next rep extra slow so you can learn, all without being smug in any way.

there's a middle aged black woman that started coming a few months ago. she'd labor loudly on the machines at first, but she just kept coming and got smaller every week. proud of that sis and i even told her after two months of mirin. volunteered to teach her how to weight train next week.

>>37616068
MEEEEEEEEEEE
honestly though, I only started 3 months ago, I gained a lot of weight through morbid depression and had too much anxiety to do anything. But I just did it, and began going - made heaps of progress! But I don't touch my phone, I focus really hard on getting it done and taking care of my form. All this is because I am heavily in love with someone and I think they deserve to not be stuck with someone who lets themselves go. I want to live for as long as I can with them. Plus it helps me feel much more confident, anxiety is minimal now.

it's mutual, we've been in a relationship for 3 years and we're not about that "body image" life really. Haven't even cared about my body like that ever, this was entirely my choice and there's nothing wrong with wanting to do something to improve your life.
I don't know why you all are so sad and lonely all the time though, even the ripped ones. Is it the whole obsession with body image getting in the way or something?
>>37615428

We have this younger kid probably my age(23) that comes in and is physically disabled. Not sure whats wrong but hes in a wheelchair and from what I've seen his upper body works fine.
Anyways I've been going to this gym 4-5days a week at the same time for the past 6months and hes there every time working his ass off. I've seen people try to help him with weights and he always declines and does it all on his own.
Now I'm in amazing shape and have great inner motivation to continue staying in shape but every time I see this dude it lights a fire inside me to kill my workout. He gives me hope in humanity.
I've always wanted to tell him how much I respect him and how much motivation he gives me but I know hes just trying his hardest to be normal and I don't want it to come off like pitty or be "that guy."
So I just let him do his own thing while I do my own and respect from a distance. If you read this anon I want you to know that you give me motivation and I'm honored to be in the same gym as you.
That guy who looks like he is on an eternal dirty bulk but you constantly hear him talk about his cut.
Extra points if he only wears tank tops

every single person that does their squats correctly. it's a real shame to see so many not go at least parallel, even the trainers save one. when i see a newbie being shown what not to do it's a bad feeling that focuses me on my own workout more. if i were a more selfish man, i'd revel in it.

Your gym sounds like a nice place man
Some guy that wears a long red bandana (kinda like Rambo) all the time. Dude tends to clean up his messes and turns in lost items to the front desk when he's not lifting. Seems chill.

Curl king:
This guy does curls almost exclusively. I once saw him superset standing bb curls, bb preacher curls, and concentration curls on the preacher bench for over 30 minutes. No, I'm not exaggerating, I counted. The kicker is his arms as tiny, you couldn't guess that he did a single curl in his life.
But want to know the best part? Today I noticed that he had several friends at the gym and he was making small talk with them. One of them was a high test 9/10. Meanwhile I'm working out alone contemplating suicide. Mfw.
