Is the gym low key cringe?

[4Bertuzzi4]

using cringe not as a verb is kinda gay

it's fkn gay. Hmm... you're on to something here. Millennials and zoomzooms replaced Gen X's use of "that's so fkn gay", with "that's so cringe". It really is a ph@gggoty term. Cringe. Gay as fck.

Home pull up bar & gymnastic rings could help you cut back on 'actual' gym time. Dunno if it will support 300lbs though..

Too fat for pullups at the moment. I do the single arm nautilus pulldown like a cring hypertrophy nerd.

3 sets of 10 pull-ups with every workout crew. But I'm about 185 lbs.

Sometimes, being too jacked looks kind of low class, ngl.

it feels fuggin retarded yes but I listen to lamb of god, decapitated, arch enemy and get on it with but I agree it sucks major dick

Well, think about it like this:

For any other hobby (as in it isn't for your career/job/income somehow), obsessing over it for 3+ hours a day 5+ days a week for decades as an adult would be considered a bit autistic

[headturner1]

It’s not low key cringe, it’s high key cringe.

[ezmac31]

Haven’t lifted in peak hours in more than a decade…lunch break or 5 am crew lifter.

I imagine lifting with a gym full of zoomers and boomers is pretty cringe. I’m often there alone or with less than 4 other people

many people drawn to it probably are autistic to some degree. but it's like a socially acceptable release of autistic traits.

I don't go at peak hours either but it's still full of zoomers and boomers. Ask eod.

I just want a 300lb swimmer's physique.

I was at the gym yesterday and I was thinking to myself "man this is low key cringe"

if you go to a gym that allows video recording and/or you can take your shirt off, it is.

Anybody who wants to better themselves has my respect.

Does hanging out in the locker room naked count as bettering myself?

[Reserrection]

Picking things up and putting them down isn't cringe if you do it without thinking

[Islandboyo]

my first real time working out was when I joined the Army and started doing daily morning PT with my fellow Soldiers. Back then it was mostly body weight stuff, runs, sprints, and ruck marches with SOME weight lifting depending on who was in charge.

I'd say that it felt amazing working out together with your brahs and getting after it every morning, but we were working out for a purpose, not just for looks or whatever. Now a days that spirt is not as big anymore as most people would rather workout alone, and would prefer to don aesthetics building exercises over the types of things we used to do back in the day.

Covid totally changed the game of the fitness level of your average Soldier.

The gym is gay as ****.

It attracts a ton of mentally ill people. Extremely narcissistic and weird dudes.

[Dave22reborn]

It IS hard at times to not lose your ****, so many people go and waste time, have this blank dumb look on their face, and big the equipment while texting on their phone. It's like, "Why are you even here???"

No question there’s a bit of that, but my issue was steadily getting sick . Not unexpected when there’s 150 people in the gym after 5:00 .

That's called life, weren't you the one promoting the jab and the booster shots?

[MotorCityCobra]

its only cringe if u are a juicehead tbh, compromising your health for some gains.

it is kinda nasty touching all the crap hundreds of other people have touched after scratching their anus/coochie/balls/picking boogers/ear wax

Do it for your health. Treat exercise not as a novelty but as something that must be done to maintain health...like brushing your teeth or taking a shower or wiping your butt.

Too abstract.

A man needs fitness goals throughout their life.




Here is the life cycle of exercise:

First goal is for sports.

Second goal is for aesthetics.

Third goal is for losing fat.

Fourth goal is resisting signs of a decaying body (aka for health)

Fifth goal is for bone strengthening to allow daily functionality.


If you tell a teenager to lift/exercise for maintaining health, you're gonna have an anime video game teenager who just doesn't understand what or why, and they will never experience the other goals.
When it comes to exercise and sex, we always talk from the life cycle/state of mind that we are currently in. It leads to boomers lecturing zoomers about the ideals of hard work and a firm handshake, when those Woodstock orgy druggies were the most degenerate generation this country has ever seen. But each stage in life has truth in it, and we have to meet people where they are.

As the goals change throughout your aging process, so do the exercise programs which allows things to stay fresh.
Its important that men and women have these goals as it connects someone with their body, and avoids lethargy while giving a sense of pride/growth.

It is. To many dudes trying to be the next sam sulek. Sniffing pre-workouts and getting Raising Cane's caniac chicken platter because Sam said so.

Plus the sloots ain't into the muscly bod, they like twinks.

Tons of broads are grabbing twinks now.

I only tried it once and never got the appeal of it. Taste was alright. Nothing to write to god about.
