People at the gym you like

>that joyful old guy who enjoys working out

the big fat strong guy who offers you a spot everytime youre benching

that short little balding middle aged guy who is strong as hell and sounds like he's from Romania or something

People who don't make any sort of small talk with me and only go to get their workout done

The middle aged Asian guy in pajama pants that can do Jackie Chan tier shit on the pullup bars

Cardio bunnies. Thanks for the motivation.

>That guy in his late 60s doing SS for the first time.
>Stays focused on his sets
>Works on good form

I like anyone who focuses on their workouts

The only people I find irritating are the ones walking around with "swag" thinking they own the place and yell across the gym to their dipshit friends.

>that girl who always looks at you

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.

>that ~50 year old milf with tight body who does cleans
o-one of these days r-right brahs

>that guy who offers you scooby snacks in the lockerroom

That fit af guy, with arms of the size of my tighs, that came to me while I was poorly doing my biceps to scream and motivate me to do it the good way, showing proper stance and movement. Literally told me I'm the pussy if I care about the weight but not the form.

>the newcoming overweight bitch that comes everyday to do cardio

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.

The blue and people belts who kick my ass during sparring and then stay after to show me exactly what I did wrong and teach me defenses

The girl you catch mirin

fuck i dont really know any dicks at my gym

24 at culver?

The guy that give me thumbs up after a real hard set even though im dyel

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.

The roided up aryan that always makes >no homo eye contact with me whenever we pass by each other.

Which one of you fucks is it?

>All this is because I am heavily in love with someone

..umm, OK, do they know you're 'in love' with them, or is this just oneitis?
If the former, and it's mutual, then fine. Otherwise you're fucking up.

>Hot fucker who looks like Anthony Mackie
>Hot hippy dude who always smiles at me
>Old buff as fuck dude who was standoffish at first, but is sweet as can be now that he sees me every other day

old asian guy who actually squats
(old hags in my gym never do free weights)

>plz be bait

Ofc it would not be mutual

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?

>That ripped old dude
My gym has like three of them. None of them started lifting until their mid thirties.

I had one and he was actually from romania and used to be an olympic weight lifter.

What M8, I'm happily married to a petite girl who does oly lifting.

Im just not a beta like you

Does not compute

The people who mind their business and don't make small talk and hog up the machines

There is a group of old men at my gym who do bicycles and walk around in a group. One white man, one black, and one paki. Its like right out of a sitcom. I like to think they all fought in korea together.

NONE OF THEM

>that older guy who is clearly on a massive dose of test from his doctor pal

>That strong as f German bear mode guy who always smiles and salutes you
>That friendly trainer/gymbro who offers you help with everything down to writing you a routine you could follow
>The others aren't really that relevant

That strong as fuck but respectful islander

Mirin hard

>the teenager who screams while lifting like he's becoming the Hulk or something

He's annoying in a humorous way.

That guy that you kinda know enough to say "hey" to but dont him well enough to talk to him

I hope the strong regulars at the gym have noticed me being there all the time sincerely trying to make it

I don't want to be seen as just another filthy casual brosplitter ;_;

>inb4 who cares what people think of you
I go to a uni gym, I don't want to be grouped in with the guys that just want to get big because they think it'll make them look bigger and cooler. I sincerely love this endeavor

This

>mfw she stretches down to her toes

That huge Russian dude that actually gives really good advice and is very friendly and talkative.

wtf why is this a thing lol.
there's one at my gym too

That hot bitch in yoga pants

That cute slim jacked dude that helps you with your form and compliments you in the showers. Then in the restroom he sucks you off and pounds you from behind infront of the mirror, flexin and whispers into your ear while cumming " n-no homo"

What's a Veeky Forums approved sword or katana?

And when he cums down your throat cause he knows you havent hit your macros yet

>that group of old men with popped collars.

That roiding guy who's aesthetic as fuck and poses in the changeroom and always gives me a boner

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 user 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

Those 2 awkward and skinny Asian nerds that have made insane novice gains and now are out lifting 90% of the gym in less than a year.

They're going to make it.

>Guy who always yawns between sets
Ya got me
>Jacked Mexican midget
Dude was 5,2 and screamed constantly

Gotta go to the gym now thanks

Nice myth.

fist

I see half of these and I am the other half. You're missing a few though:

> Indian dude curling in a polo and Jeans
> Cardio bunny doing one set of every single machine on the lowest setting.
> My new personal favorite: Pull-ups on the smith machine.

>that guy who is always printing out medical school advice and advances/research in orthopedic surgery and gives me them to read

He's an 80 year old dude, and I love that man. He believes in my dreams.

> My new personal favorite: Pull-ups on the smith machine

b-but im a manlet

>that absolute behemoth of a guy that helped you learn to bench when you were a newbie

>the strongest guy in the gym that stopped his workout and then proceeded to help me with form when i just started out lifting

I gotcha bros

This

>that guy who always goes post paralel on his squats

better to do less weight but properly, you got my aprobation nod, pal

>that buff black guy who is strong and friendly as fuck, always wears hoodies and will spot you on the bench

based

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.

>guy who drinks water in between sets
you son of a bitch i'm trying to stop

>quiet, humble lifters with good form

Everyone else can fuck off. All I need is motivation and examples of correct form

There's acouple at my gym that do that. One is uber awkward tho

>big old school powerlifters who DONT act like the power cage belongs to them and that actually give solid advice
>middle aged dad who's obviously on TRT but he's just happy to be lifting. usually wearing a headband, will tell you how he would lift twice that in HS, pretty bro

>Milf that flirts with me when no regulars are in the gym with us
>milf trainer who is always "spotting" me on overhead presses heh
>cute chubby black girl that is always singing drake lyrics to me when I walk in, she's really sweet
>old Russian guy who is obviously on TRT or some shit that just lifts to manta in. Cool dude, always telling me to take time between sets in an awsome Russian accent
>weird skeleton kid who just does leg day and elipticals, he can't bench 1 pl8. I see no problem but it hurts his ego pretty bad when I do 175 for reps.

>The old guy that only does bench, curls and tricep extensions with 1/10 rom
>The powerlifter guy
>The no legs, super ripped upper body guys

After a certain age, looking the same over the course of years is an achievement.

If this is you, keep at it. Everyone respects and admires you more than the big mean asshole

is there something wrong with drinking water in between sets?

The one fat kid that shows up consistently and slowly gets in shape. Have a fat Mexican kid that comes into my gym every night at like 1 am and I've watched him get more and more in shape over time. Want to congratulate him but Im a fuking sperg and wanna make it seem like I've been watchin him
