Don't be toxic at the gym. People are there to improve themselves.

This is exactly how us Chads are, yes.
I can't do the standard gym but bouldering gym is recommended. I used to have a membership to climb whenever at any location of that gym and found people are super happy to give advice and discuss the 'beta'.
Disclaimer: I had taken a class like a decade earlier and gotten somewhat used to responding non-akwardly to people unexpectedly talking to me by the time I started going to the gym. I also went almost every day, sometimes to multiple locations. Some days I spoke to nobody, other days I got roped into group discussions on technique and posititoning. The climbing related strength training stuff people just recommended youtubers to me for the how to instead of giving potentially harmful advice.
Fuck the haters at the gym. Fucking creeps.
Don't put yourself down for trying. The people who don't try will never get better, you have a chance at it if you never give up on yourself.
I don’t care if this is fake. It’s how the world should be and I really hope it is.
I mean, it really it is you reach out and take initiative. It's never like this if you sit around waiting for this kind of thing to happen, you will be perpetually disappointed in others.
But like our fictional hero, I can at least attest from my own long life, that if you seek out the kind of experiences and people you wish you had in your life, you will find them. But if you roll your eyes at the notion, if you are apathetic and are discouraged because you had one or several bad experiences, or if you're discouraged because you read about someone else's bad experience, or if some youtuber told you how bad things are, you will live in that world and that world only as long as you live.
If you get yourself into a private community gym instead of Planet Fitness, you’ll realize how real this is.
Can confirm, my local city gym is full of great people.
I go to the Y, and it’s like this. Same for most local gyms. It’s the shit places like Planet Fitness and other mega gyms that are filled with problems.
My Y also has zero tolerance for anyone filming or taking pictures. It’s incredible.
I'm sure we can find some zoomers to make fun of you, so...
Halfway there, eh?
I have one of those. I call him son 😂
Proper chads are indeed like this
Chad peaked in high school and has a beer gut now. Gym bros were often losers in school who turned it around after they graduated.
True I started fitness in college and was very thin in school. Someone who is 200% into anything tends to be a nerd.
I never peaked AND I have a beer gut. But I am swimming now and love it. You gotta find something that works for you. I could never run as hard as i swim. Plus it's like all the dirt and shit of the world is rinsed off my soul in the pool. Fuck the dirty dirty land, I live in the clean moist water now.
No amount of running was going to make me healthy.
Swimming? 卄乇ㄥㄥ ㄚ乇卂卄
Swimming through that water like a chubby sexy beaver. Soon to be a sleek sexy otter.
Do it water chad.
How do you know who I am??
Because I’m you.
