Little things that make you happy

Yeah I've seen a bunch of his videos over the years.  Talk about someone who is much stronger than he looks, mind you he does wear rather loose fitting clothes.  Some of the reactions are quite funny for sure.

You can see some guys are truly crushed...like they've been doing this forever...maybe even think they're King Shit of the gym....And then BOOM! LOL 😆

As someone who has been lifting for 30 years, but been mostly at home since 2006, I have to say the gym culture is really toxic right now.  The two worst are the guys you see in this, that think they are "King Shit" and throw around weights and flex in the mirrors and what not.  The other is the "influencers" who like to set up a shoot in the middle of the gym and expect everyone to work around them so they can "get their shot".  Honorable mention would be the women who go with booty shorts and a sports bar on and expect no man to ever glance their way or offend them.

Might be a bit extreme saying that it's "toxic" right now, I'm at the gym at 6:30am four days a week and see none of what you've described. I see a few newbies that are lost, maybe one juice head (not a regular), but other than that we have a usual crowd at that time of the day and everyone is generally decent. I'm at a cheapo gym chain (Fit 4 Less) that costs me only ~$300/year, and I can only use that one location. I've gone at other times of the day when I was unemployed or vacation days, and never saw anything egregious. The worst thing I encounter is maybe a group of young guys that will hog a piece of equipment for a while.

Like most things, it's the few that ruin it for the many.  I tend to think that these two that I listed above are found more often in either higher end gyms or ones that have sort of a "power lifting" culture and equipment.  The Fit 4 Less is mainly used by people who just want simple access to one gym, with the basics of equipment, and aren't trying to be athletes or fitness models.

Scored a free Fujimi 1/24 Lambo Murcielago kit on mkt, open box / sealed bags ... and local for once!

I'm reasonably sure that the powerlifters, body builders and roided up Bruhs probably aren't working out at Fit 4 Less. Thankfully.

We gotta couple powerlifters in there, saw one this morning that seems he's stuck in the 90's, LOL!! See him on occasion, not a regular at 6:30am. Strong fucker though, lifts a crazy amount of weight at about 5'6" and probably close to 230lbs. I'll have to ask a buddy who has a Movati membership to see what it's like there, he's in at 6am & spends most of his time socializing though... and I only hear about the attractive women from him
