So what was it like
You either did no legs or you only did SS gomad bloat only legs. No inbetween.
But we didn't do any iliac cable rows or whatever, it was just bench and regular rows and lots of half repping on dumbbells.

Jeff made cookies or something. It was basically the same as now.
Imagine IST, but 95% less incels, losers, are DYELs. Almost everyone who posted had a sex life and the board as filled with actual good advice and funny people
That would be pre-2014 misc
IST has always been dogshit.
Losers and DYELs are fine. They can grow and take advice and become better. It's the incels that make this place a heap of shite. Why do they all gravitate towards a fitness board? Surely the c**ts don't lift
2012 was just before the "alternative gay weed-smoking powerlifter" trend.
But things were also not normal back then because the shitskins and Black folk started flooding the gym after white women discovered smartphones and selfies in the late 2000s.

>Youtube creators were making high quality motivational videos constantly
>Zhasni Motivation deserves his own shoutout (if you know, you know)
>Multiple anime that were brand new at the time to "literally me"
>No tiktok
>Higher emphasis on the philosophy of hard work and challenging yourself mentally and physically as opposed to just looking good for social media
>Nutrition was broken down into much simpler and easy to manage concepts instead of everyone chasing the next greatest supplement
>The only women at the gym were milf muscle mommies and they openly enjoyed getting mired and flirting
>Everyone at the gym had a story and a motivation that was well thought through and they were passionate about
Many of us were taking our first steps to becoming sick c**ts
Pretty much the same as it is now, OP.
Well son, fitness culture has pretty much been the same for the last 4,000 years. The only thing that has really changed recently is the invention of steroids but that didn't really change fitness culture much, it just amplified certain aspects of it.

Remember that autist xxJojan or whatever from 2012
I just remember zyzz, scooby posts, tinytrip
who tf is tinytrip
I remember tinytrip. He was 5'2 and ripped and loved that people made fun of his height. He was a masochist in that regard. But he posted like 8 threads a day with his trip code.
I believe that's where the original "please be in London" came from.
His parents were also dead.

This. The highest dosages possible of everything.
Millennials were doing the worm
Skull-Crusher to Pullover, I see nothing wrong with this.
it's always wonderful to watch teenagers.
Their inability to make split second decisions really makes them look moronic. They will laugh first, then, if you're lucky, they might help.
I never knew life is this way, but I understand the generational conflict now.
Teenagers are fricking idiots and they think they understand shit, that's why old people can't fricking stand them. But again, we all used to be teens before, but, still, we should be way harder on them than we are now.
We were all there at one point.
Gen X or older Millennials calling you a little homosexual in 2000-2012 on CS:S, TF2, old forums, and the myriad of MMO's because you were, in fact, a little homosexual. It's another form of men looking out for younger members and now it's finally your turn to carry on the tradition of bullying the ever-loving frick out of zoomers for being little homosexuals. No one else is going to do it and it will only benefit them as they grow older pas their little homosexual age period. Teenagers will always be in a perpetual state of moronation, it's their nature, but they need to be reminded they're moronic every once and awhile.
Every male, younger or old, is required to understand the golden sentiment of men if they are to eventually succeed in life: No respects a pussy.
was never called a little homosexual tho and gen x and millenialls never really had beef like that. it wasnt a thing
I think that might be due to the fact that even if millennials as a whole are cucked homosexuals, the portion who went out of their way to work out tended to be on the more grounded, less pozzed side of things. Since working out has become way less of a niche thing, and zoomers have grown up into a time when it's already become way more commonplace, there are far more annoying teenage Zoomer homosexuals in gyms.
i graduated in 2002 and everyone called each other homosexual all the fricking time
Some guy in 8th grade told me "nice shirt, homosexual" when I bought a new shirt (it was a plain ass shirt with a Nike logo on it). I'm 28 now and I will never forget this moment

Everyone was a lot less gay, everyone was getting laid a lot more and having fun, no one talked shit because everyone was too busy grinding their gains out.
>tfw no gf
>tfw no tinytrip
>tfw no cookies are done
🙁
Look mom I posted it again
le cookies are ready
Honestly it was just as gay as now
>2012
It was already past it's peak, you should be asking how it was in the 90s. All the best shit got banned in 2001.
>wasn't mainstream so a niche interest
>next to no women in gym
>no trendy 'gym wear'
>next to no one recorded themselves in gym
>no overcomplicated exercises or banded shit existed people just stuck to basics
Yeah the point about it not being mainstream is a good one. At least where I am from. Me and my pal used to be basically the only people under the age of 20 working out. There wasn't really a "gym culture", it was just something some lads did. Made it way less homosexual than it seems to have become as a result of the tiktok generation and their behaviour. The women that went to the gym were generally older and there wasn't really the sort of skintight gym wear that every woman has on these days. It's honestly still like this in smaller gyms or those without zoomers, aside from the female gymwear point. Contrast is night and day when you find a gym without the homosexualry

>yeah bro...we talked about oatz...and an armenian drug addict was our Zeus...we were based...redpilled you could even say...on da heckin misc we talked with our brother elliot rogers...he was just a fricking kid. Me i'm an old man...i'd like to do it over boy let me tell ya...to relive the days of talking to a bunch of creatinzed moron homosexuals on the internet...those are my glory days. Think about that son. And ask yourself - do you really want to look up to your autistic Black person homosexual old man? My great grandfather went through world war 2, and my great adventure was "da misc"... I'd kill myself if i was u lel.
i feel truly sad for people if the shit they nostalgiaze over is zyzz and scoobs
2012 was shit I got memed into strength routines and developed a t-rex physique. Frick you guys.
Son, it was
>Alpha as frick
I was literally just thinking nobody ever asks to work in with you on a machine or bench anymore. I've been lifting on and off for 10 years and that is totally gone.
Damn that's actually true. When did it die off? I met one of my best mates by asking to work in with him. Though I haven't asked anyone else myself either in years but I dunno why
I occasionally get people asking to work in on like, a dip or something but in terms of an actual lift never ever.
>Dad, how many Black persondicks did mommy shlurp before getting married to you??
at uni gyms , which is the only base of experience I can come from, noone really roided except weirdos and certainly noone young.
You didn't have to wait for a squat rack because no one ever squatted.
You could just do arms and people thought you were a force to be reckoned with.
u aware?
SexualDeviant pm'd me a picture of his penis once.

Well son, 2012 fitness culture was defined by a singular scientific focus. An all-consuming all-encompassing all-sanctifing pursuit of the one true wholistic ecumenical and universal question. We were, as we always were. We were, as we always will be. We are, now, then, and forever and always and evermore and everywhere beholden to the one quest and question; to the one wonder and wondering; to the gospel and evangel. My son, we simply sought to know if.... coffee was good for us.
No girls in skintight yoga pants showing off their ass and recording themselves for social media. Social media wasn’t a big thing back then. No camera phones. People would talk about lifting on forums like bodybuilding.com
I think the reason more girls started going to the gym is because they saw male fitness influencers on instagram and thought “if I go to the gym and show off my body maybe I can get a bf like that”
