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
