As an alternative to the Worst People At The Gym thread, let's have a Best People At The Gym thread
>That muscular guy, in better shape than you, that stutters like a beta as he asks you if he can work in
Keep it up man and work those conversational gains
That huge Russian strongdude who is always in a good mood. Smiles, throwing jokes and lift just crazy amount of iron.
>the guy who sweats more than anyone else at the gym but actually wipes down the equipment
>the girl who knows you're mirin' and plays along
>the really old guy who has been lifting forever and doesn't come in to talk, just focuses on his task
>the husband/wife combo that are in great shape (goals)
>the mom who encourages her kids to run around the track with her
>the guy who pretends he knows martial arts and beats up on the punching bag, always a guaranteed chuckle
>the guy who actually knows what he's talking about teaching the high school kids what they need to do / what to avoid
I've got a nice gym, at least during the mornings before school or work starts.
I go to the gym at 4am so i don't have to see other people there.
>>37429410
>that 40 something jacked turbo manlet who's always happy and who shakes hands with everyone in the gym
I was doing incline bench press and failed on the last rep, he instantly rushed in to save me. T-thanks brah.
>>37429455
>at least during the mornings before school or work starts.
Tha doesn't count then those are the functional human beeings or fitness enthusiasts who come not the idiot teen/YA retards who come otherwise.
>>37429410
>The older guy who goes to try and stay in shape and succeeds
>>37429455
>I've got a nice gym, at least during the mornings before school or work starts.
This is the best time.
I started going to my gym as soon as it opens (before work) at 7am. I've never been happier. Not only there is less people there, but none of them are douchebags and apart from one or two girls who work glutes everyday (god bless 'em), everyone knows their shit well enough.
>>37429504
There's one of those at my gym too. He's a cool guy.
>That guy who reracks his weights and doesn't throw them like a fucking gorilla in the other corner of the gym
>those people who don't use the equipment i want to use
>big booty bitches that flaunt it
The big, sweaty obese guy who's trying to get in shape
>Doesn't take shortcuts
>Sticks to his workouts
>Wipes down
>Keeps noise to a minimum
>Rotates and doesn't hog equipment
>Doesn't even touch his phone
>Stacks plates neatly and orderly
>Wears fitting clothes so no one has to stare at his belly or ass crack during their workout
>Walks home rather than drives
Honestly, he kind of gives me motivation to keep going. Literally everything is telling the guy to give up, but he refuses to and still manages to be thoughtful and polite while fighting constant urges.
>>37429410
>>That muscular guy, in better shape than you, that stutters like a beta as he asks you if he can work in
I've met that guy.
>>37429410
>That super cheerful cardio bunny who laughs at anything anyone says
i mean, i don't have even a remote chance, but it's nice to pretend she thinks i'm funny
>This manlet who looks like he lifts, but doesn't look 'that' strong..... picks up fairly impressive weights but then proceeds to go 10x10 on every lift
Not sure how or even why he does this. Never talks either but I'm mirin his workouts.
>>37429637

> deadlock bro I've seen loose like 100lbs over more than a year
>witness him serendipitously pick up an overweight disciple one night
>couple weeks later showing new fatty deadlift form, and teaching him about the importance of mobility
I want to shake dreadbros hand, but I'm too autismo.
The short as fuck Asian guy who can out lift every mother fucker in the gym and looks like he's fought for the Vietcong.
Every gym should have at least one.
Me.

>gives tips whenever he's around
>told me I'll look huge in no time

Mine always helps the dyels.
>>37429586
have a couple people like this at my gym, one is this lady who has been working her ass off (literally) for about a year, been looking for an opportunity to give her a nod and thumbs up
>that Asian dude powerlifter that is humble as can be and gives great advice to newbies
>he smiles and gives a thumbs up when he sees you lifting heavier than before
>he gives you a fist bump every time you run into each other
Fuck man, I wanna be just like this guy. I wanna have skinny dyel faggots look up to me and ask me for advice.
>>37429410
Lol this is like every jacked guy at my gym.
It's hard for me because I want to be friendly too them but I have an aggressive personality and often come off and demeaning when I ask to work in or if people are still using things.
>>37429586
I'm basically in that boat. Been overweight for years since a knee injury (6'1" and weigh 280lb). My room mate is legit and has been urging me to go to the gym. I just started. I'm flying home for 2 weeks and he's found a 12 week training program for me to follow when I get back. Unemployed now, looking for a new job so I can really commit.
>>37429410
>Guy who lifts best and workouts the hardest but also willing to teach anyone if they ask
>>37429969
Same, I try to be nice and come off friendly, but people always take it as a sarcastic joke. I want to kill myself for this sometimes.
>>37429410
>The crossfitter that uses an oly bar for more than an hour for his strength training sessions

This guy is the best. Literally he knows everyone in the gym and stays till closing and whenever anyone leaves hes like "thats it?! Alright ill see you tomorrow!"
>>37430117
Wish we had one of these guys.

I honestly wish to be like her when I'm her age.
>That Pajeet in normal workout clothes that doesn't smell and does a real, non curl bro routine
Going to the gym in the morning
>Quiet old man, nods politely but never speaks, always dressed the same, shows up at 6:00am like clockwork every single day riding a bike, just does stretching/mobility stuff on a gym mat then ten minutes rowing machine
>Hyper focused buff manlet, bald with a huge beard, always in the cable/dumbbells section, never works legs, use the benches or racks, but I still mire his discipline, rarely speaks, always looks pissed off but always polite, always reracks weights
>middle-aged woman who squats every workout, pretty strong, friendly
>around 8:00 regular group of retired old guys who just use stationary bikes, talk about sports results or politics and maybe do some light machine work
Overall quiet and polite crowd, I got the rack and benches to myself
Going to the gym at night
>Crowded with dozens of loud and obnoxious smelly machine/curlbros who don't rerack shit
Awful crowd, but since they're all curlbros and waste so much time talking about broscience bullshit, I also get to use the rack without waiting
>>37430472
That's rare.
Nobody at my gym is a good person including me. Everyone is either hanging out with their friend making and not actually working out, others are doing meme exercises or real exercises improperly, and others just have an eternal hard face on as they listen to their music.

This is a good thread
>>37430579
Actually scratch that there's one guy I admire. He's an old as fuck Asian guy, terrible posture, walks slow as fuck. His glasses are held together by duct tape so he's probably really poor. If I was in his condition I don't know if I would have the willpower to hit the gym, I would probably just roll over and die. But he's there regularly, working out and playing racquetball as best he can. After every workout he's drained as fuck, can barely move, he probably risks his life every time he works out because if he messes up he'll break something.
One time I found his glasses on the floor of the locker room. They fell from his head but he didn't notice because some of the duct tape was still stuck to his ears. I put them on the bench by where he dropped them, they weren't broken (or rather, the glass itself was fine). When he came back looking for them and I pointed them out he thanked me profusely, seems like a nice guy despite his problems. Mirin so hard.
>That dyel skinny college kid that reminds you of yourself when you were starting.

>>37429410

t-thanks. Now I'm afraid to change to an aesthetic routine.

There's this one 14 year old black kid who goes to my regularly and speaks broken in a high pitch voice and is funny as fuck. He's pretty big for his age but the funny shit is that every day he has to lift whatever the biggest guy there me he goes to bench 315 after this jacked power lifter without a spotter and fucking dies. Does this literally everyday on squat dl and bench
This Italian guy goes to my gym, he's fucking yoked, as wide from the front as he is from the side, and cut as hell on top of that
He's quiet. He always looks a little sad, just effortlessly squatting huge weight and avoiding eye contact with us Americans

Tfw no eastern european bear buddy, why even live
Im new to lifting and was benching 75kg for the first time and on my last set I was a bit unsure, so I asked this huge guy to spot me. I strugle on the last rep he hovers his hands under the bar shouting that I can do it. I did it and racked the bar.
That felt amazing.
> that new skinny guy with much anxiety and low self-esteem.
He doesn't dare to come over to the dumbbell or barbell section. He casually goes from machine to machine in the order they are set up. He does this for a month or so.
One day you see him at the barbells doing ohp followed with a solid full body workout. He finally realized that people at the gym don't care about him lifting lightweight. He does his own thing and the form is solid. As time goes by he starts to interact with people around him, nothing special, just a nod, handshake etc etc. Asks for work ins during busy hours.
Its a beautiful thing to see how the gym gave this guy so much confidence.

well technically the smaller you are the easier it is for you to increase strength gains. as a 6'7 white lanket my ROM is easily 3 or 4 times that of a smelly 4 foot asian.

Sounds like me , damn

You're also carrying a frame that can hold three times the bodyweight. There's a reason the biggest absolute numbers are almost always put up by tall bastards.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

I wish there was a decent strongman/powerlifting/weightlifting gym nearby.
All that is around are average commercial and "bodybuilding" gyms where the majority of customers are weak dyels, fatty and wannabe bodybuilders.

yeah lifting around some reasonably competent lifters could do wonders for giving you a better frame of reference for where you fit in the scheme of things

You are really living on that glance that girl gave you huh anon?
>>37429455
>the guy who sweats more than anybody else but wipes down the equipment
Yup that's me. I also correctly rerack the weights because some people don't know their fucking numbers and shapes apparently.
Sorry I sweat so much I have sweaty genetics.

The only people who go to your gym are six assholes who go together sit on the benches and chat
tfw I'm autism af and don't have the balls to tell them to cut the shit
I just leave because gym is tiny and come back an hour later
Except for this one old dude who I've only seen once and showed me how to do squats with correct form.
>Still weak as fuck but thanks old bro
>>37441349
maybe it's like resting bitch face. i think i have the same problem because my mouth in its resting state looks downturned like i'm sad so people always think i'm upset about something.
>>37442727
>tell them to cut the shit
this is the #1 way to get your ass beat. i saw this autistic as fuck dyel arab dude tell a group 5+ irish guys to "get the fuck off their phones and hurry up with their shit" so he could use one of the bars they were using. saw him 3 weeks later by chance with black eyes and stitches on his face. i was scared as fuck but a few months later i asked the same group of guys if i could work in with them since i needed to squat (they were all at the squat rack.) they told me they were actually done straight after this set and i had the rack to myself 2 minutes later. niceness doesn't cost anything and there's a line between being polite and being a bitch, as well as a line between being stern and being a complete asshole.

np m8, autism blurs that line a lot between what you intend when you say it and how it's received, took a lot of time for me to realise that and just made me think a lot about how another person would want to hear it (i was genuinely really autistic until i was like 20)

>The two clearly closeted asian dudes who 'assist' each other with curls using the fixed barbells
They never get in the way, so it's always a good laugh.
>>37443067
Oh god this sounds like me and my bud when we started out. I don't know if it's an asian thing but we were very meticulous of form, probably even doing autistic stuff like this.
People around the gym back then didn't even bother, probably because most of the guys there sucked too.
But having a full-time spotter that really knows you rocks, racking stuff is twice as fast and feeling safe when lifting heavy is a huge bonus. N-no homo
>>37443134
It's only homo if you do it face to face.
You didn't do that, right?
I just moved to a new gym in a rural town and I'm the biggest guy there.
I came from a gym where I was nowhere near the biggest guy.
After reading this thread, I'm gonna just try and be a good role model and help out the teenage DYEL gayboys.
Also, what the best way to offer up advice without coming across as some arrogant douche? There are some kids there that need some pointers but one kid in particular didn't respond well to it.

I forgot what it's like to know someone so positive. It's like I absorb his aura for a couple hours after I leave the gym.

Now I think about it, like 50% of the regulars are at least early 30's.
Really good gym now I think about it, 2 racks 4 cages 6 benches, and a healthy mix of people I lift more than and people I lift less than.

A lot of Irish lads can be pretty aggressive (or maybe defensive) especially from Dublin because most of it is dodgy. They're awesome people if you're not a dick to them though, they just take warming up. It was a bit stupid to open up so belligerently, instead of asking them politely first.
