Generalization, I do not get along with the people who act like the gym is life. Kinda ironic considering I do tailor a lot of my life toward progress in the gym, but maybe to be more specific it's the people that it's all they fuckin talk about. Primarily ends up being 18-30 year old folks who touched a barbell once and decided it's their whole personality. The ones who usually make cancerous tiktoks/reels/shorts like "Durr when you durrr the gym durr" followed by a stupid dance or failed lift, the kids that act like lifting a barbell will make up for their trashbag ex fucking 37 other dudes, people who seriously unironically make "Protein-" recipes (cookies, cakes, etc) that taste like total dog shit instead of just drinking the powder and eating the normal snack for the EXACT SAME MACROS but better flavor, and countless other examples. I hate em. Make me sick to my fuckin stomach. 135lb bench presses as far as the eye can see and they think one day when they do a shitty ass-up rep of LOL 2 PLATEZ that they're some Baki the Grappler character. Oldschool Baki ftw btw, new animation ain't as good.
I'm ranting a bit here but fuuuuuuuuuck these people are so annoying. I am friends with plenty of people who lift, but that's just it: They are PEOPLE who go to the GYM. Not GYM PEOPLE. I can't even count how many times random people try to befriend me on socials and ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS THE GYM. Like seriously do you people do ANYTHING else? Lifts are cool but it's like 4% of my life tops spent in the gym, maybe more idk my math might be shit. Also fuck everyone that worships Bumstead, this shit is the most homo shit I have ever seen. Nothing against gay people, you do you. But this weird ass obsession with the man is creepy as fuck and his mustache makes him look like a pedophile.
These types are also the most insecure motherfuckers in the world, too. I sometimes post my top sets or a PR on my socials and I have noticed that the higher the weights get, the more those types turn into weird, envious, pissy little shits. I'm regularly handling 600ish on squats and deads, 405-500+ on bench and the same people who would've been supportive of me when I was still only moving weights like 225-315 on bench, 365-405 on squat/dead are now just grumpy and looking for any opportunity to attack and try and pretend their inability to do what I do is somehow a good thing. Cue liberal headlines buzz phrase "Why that's a good thing" lol.
Shit is just so weird to me. I got into this shit years ago before Facebook was even a thing and we all kinda/sorta fuckin used Myspace if it loaded the damn page at all, and back then the internet chatter wasn't too bad. Occasionally a retard or two appeared, but it was mostly all good and supportive the way that people actually fuckin acted in real life. Now? It's just a place for weaker people to try and shit on stronger people while also acting like they're dEdIcAtEd AF and better than everyone else. Shit is weird. Make it make sense lol, I do not get the modern gym 'crowd' at all.
