The morning crowd at my gym are weird

>-leave behind chalk marks like ghostly ectoplasm
that would be me. had a cleaning lady tell me once to clean up

7am-9am crowd at my gym

>me
>relatively normal guy with mediocre lifts
>middle aged guy who lifts heavy and isn't fat but just has no definition and a horrible pasty "doughy" look
>Russian guy who speaks to the normal guy and does nothing but sumo deadlifts and bench press

Rest of the gym is empty. Sometimes about 8.30 to 9am two ridiculously attractive cardio bunny twins come in and everyone lifts heavier.

>-leave behind chalk marks like ghostly ectoplasm

Chortle.

>12-3p
>-the unemployed and people down on their luck
>-mix of curlbros and serious lifters
>-people who work graveyard shift, just woke up, and despise normalfags

... that's me.

Everyday from 6 am to 8 am I see the exact same people:
>some dyel Jewish guy who only in gym to film his weird vlogs

>big black guy with huge belly
>he also wears blue contact lenses and screams some nonsens

>hipster dude who only does biceps and chest
>he often insults people who train with him

>Guy who probably has some mental illness
>he thinks what he is a bodybuilder despite looking like dyel
>only does chest and triceps

> 5-7am
> severe emotional issues

100% accurate

fucking slavs

>be me
>genetically challenged 5'7.5 thing
>visiting family
>go to a local powerlifting gym at 6 am
>huge guys like 6'3 and over everywhere
>benching 3pl8 for warmup

>all are taken
>some 6'6+ guy that looks like a fucking tank warming up with 5pl8
>stutter e-excuse me can i work in

never going to any powerlifting gym ever again. felt like a small girl among those strong giants

lmao accurate as fuck

12-3 crowd represent

My gym closed and another gym scooped up all of the members
It's fucking awesome seeing an entirely new cast of regulars plus everyone from my old gym

There's PL Grandpa who supposedly was shot in Vietnam
Buff dad from Honey I Shrunk The Kids
Accelerated aging boxer

It's great

>-Baby Boomer men who will talk your ear off about their "glory days"

I never get tired of this

>get new job
>waking up at 4am to lift
>old people glare for first week
>now wave to me, accept me as one of their own and ask about routines

Am I making it on a small scale?

>gym is 24hours
>go in at 2am one night after eating out at denny's with friends to work off some of the disgust im feeling
>there's only 2 people

Wish i could go at that time every day

>that guy who always vomits after deadlift PR
>that guy who tries to walk naked through the pool area to sauna from the locker room
>off duty cop giving him the shit for it
>old man jenkins that makes everyone nervous when he benches more than 10s
>that swolebro who cries during HIIT rests
>that asian lad who studies constantly
>stops lifts at one point and just reviews on bench
>gives you $3 for vending machine if you tell him anything
>that faggot who brings a ukulele for bike
>that guy who brings a sledgehammer and beats the shit out of tire in yoga room
>that dyel thats always trying to get shirtless or into a fight
>heard through the grapevine he got into one at night
>utterly destroyed by power lifter with calves bigger than basketballs

>that guy that grunts REALLY LOUD, making the most guttural sound from the back of his throat with every rep
>that guy that does meme workouts just to be different
>that guy in the changing room/bathroom that nods his head at you and smiles promiscuously
>those gym partners that play shitty music through their phones and record each other
>that extremely fat guy that waits a full 3 minutes in between reps

At least they're nice. At my gym, there are faggots who struggle with 1pl8 squat would not let me work in.

Nailed it. I used to workout at the unemployed/down on luck times because lol smoke weed errday

I only go on Sundays now.

>5-7a
>severe emotional issues
That's me :^)

eh i fit in with my late night crowd, same type of people like u said but the morning crowd r just dumb middle aged woman and old men talking smack about random shit sitting on the machines.
but at 2pm monday tuesday thursday friday theres some jacked powerlifter and hes cool

12-3pm crew checking in. tfw i dontr even need to check my watch to know what time it is because at 310 the gym gets instantly flooded with 15yr old kids fucking around the gym

>12-3p
-the unemployed and people down on their luck
-mix of curlbros and serious lifters
-people who work graveyard shift, just woke up, and despise normalfags

I work at a radio station (not on-air talent) 6 til noon, so I go straight from work. I make up hours on off days and weekends. I consider myself down on luck since my boss never pays me on time and the station a Seizure notice on the doors for failure to pay taxes. Auction on May 2nd and I could care less if we close down. Maybe I could get a gig with NPR or CBS and actaully get paid a wage more in line with my skills/experience. Fuck (((small businessmen))).

This is also very accurate for periods where I've been unemployed.

>-true lifters
>-severe emotional issues

made me kek

>that guy that sits around the gym for 4 hours, drawing out his workout for as long as possible and chatting up literally everyone he recognizes because he has nothing else in his life

I got stuck going to the gym at 3am because of work, and the only guy there, ever, in the 2 months I've been on this shift, is this fucking 6'5 Sikh guy who's fucking r i p p e d.
He looks like a bollywood villain and never talks.
