Positive Gym Stories Thread

Itt: We post nice and cool things that happened to us at the gym

> Be me
> 5'7 manlet. Was DYEL skelly but worked hard and gained some size in about a year
> Autistic and only mind my own business, but I let and offer people work in with me because waiting for a machine/weights sucks
> Developed good chest and shoulders with incline bench and military presses
> Big bear "powerbuilder" dude notices me
> "yo bro, mind if I work in?"
> Sure man
> He finishes his set, good shit, probably lifts twice my 1RM for reps
> "Hey man, I notice you put on some size on your chest, mind giving me some tips?"
> y-you too
> No but really I just told him I got a little more flexibility on my lower back and I contract my lats in and low to create a stable base. Butt not leaving the bench while repping, all that stuff
> Still unreal to think this big bro asked ME, some sperg, for advice
> "Hey man thanks a lot keep up the hard work"
> Some tiny Veeky Forums chicks come in
> they say something and I hear him say "yo this dude is cool. Works hard, fucks with nobody, and always lets others work in."
> One of the chicks touches my chest and they all give me a fist bump
> New gym buddies whenever we come across each other
> Some weeks go by, I notice they all use similar form as I advice on their bench presses now
> The smallest girl of the group mires me and I got her number, keep in touch outside the gym every now and then
