The inspiration of this thread was a guy I've seen at my gym.
> early 20s
> around 6ft tall
> not sure what he weighs (80kg est)
This guy has turned up every 2 days for the past 3 months and grown a lot despite his bad programme. I decided to speak to him.
> barely eats
> says he's too poor to afford enough protein and calories
> does same 5 lifts every time: tricep pushdown, barbell bench, lat pulldown, lateral raises, barbell curl
> never has headphones, just stares at the wall between sets
> trains around midnight
> somehow he's quite strong
I dont know what this phenotype is but I wanna call him a demon. Nice guy but I sense he has the ability to absolutely maul someone in a fight.

This:
A guy who trains at night, while hungry, and with no music doesn't need motivation. Guarantee they'd run through walls for you with support.

>anon and OP both at gym at midnight
there is nothing you could not achieve with this willpower
They could've sex
This and only this.
These
Wish I had cool characters at my gym. I see a lot of Indians in jeans.
like these?
The ones in my gym are skinny and wear polo shirts kek
There is one guy in mine who wears jeans and polo shirts but is probably 5'4 and pretty chubby. Very odd dude as well, never looks at anyone.
Will probably blow the place up at some point.
I think we've stumble upon a plot brother. I'll report back with Intel.
And fricking sandals/shower flipflops for some fricking reason.
I love indian people
I don't understand what happened in the webm
Pajeet mogged Rajeesh so hard that he became permanently moronic
Where do I find more of these?
Why are Indians so cringe?
It's an entire nation of autistic people
let me guess your own sense of comradery is derived from getting a reach around. have a nice day c**t.
Where can I get Indian friends?
Talk shit about Pakistan and China ?
what the frick is wrong with indians, it's amazing such specimens unlocked the secrets of spirituality
I use headphones to avoid interacting with other people.
I understand for many people the gym is a social event for many, but while in there I'm on a mission. All I want is to do my reps and get out. No, I don't want heat about your reps or how much load you have added. If you're making progress, good for you, honestly but idgaf. I already practice a sport and the gym is just a place I go that helps me get better at that.
Anyways, on the characters topic
>builtfat thot with lip and face fillings that dances and sings between reps. I'm not annoyed but a lot of others girls visibly are
>skinny tall black dude with super skinny legs that only works upper body
>former builtfat dude who is clearly on a cycle and now keeps posing between sets
>former chubby girl that also got on gear and now looks really hot and strong
>semi-bald 20yo PT that only offers help to hotties
>1plate lmao dude who walks around the gym staring everyone with a mean mug
>40yo boomer who loves to occupy 3 machines during rush hour
>that black dude who smells like a decomposing bawd
>skinny hot milf that I keep eyeing
>super hot pretty blonde that only comes in every now and then
Whoa slow down there buddy. Save some badass for the rest of us.
>All I want is to do my reps and get out.
THIS. I've talked with NOBODY except the guy at the desk. Difficulty: LA Fitness
Do people talk to one another at LA fitness?
Frick if I know, I want to get my workout in and done.
Des Moines?
Is that Nic Palladino?
There’s an Asian girl and her bf that literally comes to the gym just to find HWD bulls to rail her.
Yoooo are you in Duluth??
If you post a pic i may be able to supply the HWD
a guy in his 50s. He was one of the first people there to greet me with a smile this year.
Seems pretty friendly. Seems to actually workout, even bench presses, which is rare for my gym
Today he made eye contact with me while I was doing triceps but I didn't have an excuse to make eye contact back and missed saying hi to him 🙁
You don't need an excuse, old man is the homie. Next time you spot him go over and greet him and ask how he's doing like normal people do, I bet it would make his day
maybe I'll do that fren
>5'8 program hopping white guy who does weird variants of all lifts, only person you've ever seen in your life do a Jefferson deadlift, looks kind of DYEL but puts up intermediate numbers on the bar
>Never talks to anyone and scrolls IST between sets
Do you go to the TCU rec center?
>that guy outright sleeping on the chest press machine for hours
4am is a weird time in the gym.
> Bodybuilding doesn't make you strong!!!
Hahaha, yeah, keep coping fatso.
He's talking about the fact that he doesn't eat a lot. Hunger nerfs the frick out of strength.
Only if you are a fatso who can only stuff his mouth with food and can't last 4 hours without food.
>40 year old boomer who shadow boxes for 2 hours then bicep curls 5 kg for another 1 hour everyday
im dying to know, what is your honest assessment of his physique?
>mid 40s guy, huge back, does the lat walk around the gym hitting different back workouts
>never seen him hit anything else. Very skinny legs
>friend and I refer to him as Sir Back-a-lot
there is one dude around 5.11 with his upper arms covered in scars from cutting. he uses normal tshirts but in some lifts the sleeves roll back and you see can clearly them. fella is really chill and i get the impression he lurks here lol, wish you well brotha
Are you at UMich? There's a guy like that here
>That sweet old lady who comes in at 2:30am and says “good morning” to me everyday
>Started going in the mornings recently
>There's always this (pretty fit) dude there
>He's wearing a pink beanie
>It's not cold in here and the beanie looks pretty thick
>It's always the same beanie
>Today he was doing jumpropes
Have I discovered a new cryptid?
he prob has a disease or head scars
>mentally moronic gentleman that always rides a stationary bike
>goes WHEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHH loud as frick
>sometimes shakes it up and makes helicopter or motorcycle noises in between his WHEEEEEEEEs and AHHHHHHHs
It was you anon, wasn’t it?
I wish I could be as free as him
>some somali looking dude ive never seen before comes in and uses the squat rack next to me
>spends the next 5 minutws stretching
>spends another 10 minutes putting 1 plate on the bar
>eventually gets underneath it and just as soon as it looks like hes about to begin he lets go and walks away
>spends another 10 minutes wandering around and collecting all the 20kg plates he can, bringing them to his squat rack like a fricking magpie or something
>spends another 5 minutes stretching and doing fakeout reps
>I eventually finish my own squat session and leave, never witnessing him do a single rep
I never saw him again after that either
it took you 30 minutes to finish your squats?
>Not spending atleast 30 mins on the most important workout
ISHYGDDT
>t. never squats beyond lmao2pl8 so doesn’t know that you have to ramp up to baby weights
>guy that comes to the gym with his gf
>stays for 3 hours
>spends 80% of the time shooting the shit with other people there
>does literally every single exercise incorrectly/with terrible form/egolifting
>still jacked cause steroids
>guy that's been coming to the gym for at least a year
>does a seemingly random mix of exercises every time I see him
>has never done a set where he has anything less than 5+ reps in reserve
>has not grown at all yet makes no changes to his moronic behavior
might be me i literally get bored mid set sometimes and just stop
this happens no matter the lift or weight
Some people at my gym think I have a severe mental problem
I dont talk to nobody, stare at the void
I dont like to say this, sounds stupid, but I am the big guy there. 98kg, 6'2", 3 years, liver, onions meat, milk powder, rice, 10 years without sex
>somewhat tall white guy with long hair and scraggly facial hair, looks poor, possibly homeless
>always here at pretty much the same exact times
>solidly built but kinda fat, main lifts are dyel
>doesn't wear earbuds, never on his phone
>either stares at the clock or at the mirror between sets
>tenses up when random people talk to him
>might be an actual sperg
>seems to know one of the trainers since I see them them fistbump once a day, maybe the trainer just thinks he's slow and is being nice
>only time I've heard him speak is when a short black gentlemen took his bench when he went up to refill his water, when he came back he said "what the frick is this shit? I'm using that" then "get the frick out of here" loud enough to turn several heads; the black gentlemen complied
>only guy I've seen do weighted dips and chins in here
>grunts like a tennis player while repping out skulls
>always reracks his weights
>sometimes reracks stray shit that other people left lying around, volunteer gym janny lmao
oh wait that's me
>grunts like a tennis player while repping out skulls
If you don't grunt like a tennis player you're doing them wrong
Wtf bro? Stop stalking me
bro not cool just making a greentext about me without telling me about it
He's most likely a scot
sounds like me when I was 18
>boomer parents kicked me outta the house at 18
>lived out of my old dodge neon
>showered at the local 24 hour fitness
>would lift with whatever shitty equipment they had
>couldn't really bulk up cuz too poor, had days where I didn't eat anything
I still made more gains more quickly in those early days than I have in the last couple years.
>I dont know what this phenotype is but I wanna call him a demon. Nice guy but I sense he has the ability to absolutely maul someone in a fight.
If his skin is glowing and his eyes feel powerful then he's celibate
Can anyone been through similar motivate me?
>trained religiously from 20 to 25
>achieved 96kg lean (6'3')
>moved to foreign country met dream girl had best year of my life with her
>forced to leave due to Covid, couldn't border hop for visa
>got depressed when home, country locked down and couldn't go back
>had no income when I was locked down, could barely afford to eat
>due to that and depression I haven't trained in nearly 3 years
>currently 75kg feel weak and still chasing bills
I have tried getting back into training twice now, longest I've managed to last is a few weeks, I don't see the point, how did I lose so much muscle, I used to do a physical job but during covid got a remote office job so I've hardly even left the house.
Took me years to get to a size I didn't feel like a lanky frick and it went away so fast, now the idea of spending years just to get back to where I was kills my motivation to work out, it makes me angry lifting so much lower than I used to, and I can't really afford to eat the amount of meat I was eating before so it feels like I'll never get there.
Right now I'm thinking of cashing out my investments renting a shack in Cambodia and doing heroin until I hopefully OD, the girl I met got sick of waiting and moved on, I'm nearly 30 and the world feels like it's only going to get worse for me.
I'm in basically the same straits and age bracket (never done heroin though) but all the oldgays assure me it gets much better as a man from 35 onwards
And if it makes you feel better, I'm trying to cut back from 120kg, and I'm only 183
Not trying to say 183 is short, just saying I'm not tall enough to not be a fat frick at this weight
I appreciate it, 120kg is pretty heavy but honestly I've been eating like shit trying to get bigger even if it's just fat, pretty lame but being lanky is worse than fat in my view, don't know why I can't gain weight. I appreciate the thoughts though and sorry to hear you're in a similar boat. If it makes you feel any better I bet a lot of your muscle is still intact, I think I lost it so fast due to hardly eating, I bet you still got a lot of that strength ready to go when you get back into it and the excess will come down as you go. good luck on your journey.
>I'm nearly 30 and the world feels like it's only going to get worse for me.
ive had lows even later in my life. for me it got way better so why wont it for you? keep fighting the good fight.
>Mid 40s guy
>Only does boxing exercises
>Actually pretty good, maybe an amateur before
>Great form and snaps on his punches, wouls probably beat me in a fight
Overall a cool dude, the problem is.... his huffing. It sounds like a chihuahua getting strangled. Normally a huff during punches sounds like fsst tsst, but his is like when a JAV model is getting fricked. Ah ah ah. It's loud as shit too. It's just so weird and off-putting. Everyone in the gym pretends they don't hear it.
Sorce?
Kansas City, Missouri
>guy that yells at his dad on Bluetooth earbuds
>wears same redcon1 shirt every single time I see him
>loudly commented about how gays were persecuted by the government in the past
> only trains arms, never touches barbells
I don't like him. I stare at him in between sets.
>smol chick, like 5'2
>wears everything black, tight clothes
>choker
>black hair, carre haircut
>spoke to her once or twice, has this sad girl cynical-sarcastic vibe
i have to ask her out my god
VGH.... YOUNG BEAUTIFUL EVROPEAN PHENOTYPE MAIDEN....
I go to a very small gym
>that fat guy who finishes his sets and leaves when I walk in
Idk what I did wrong
I have to go to the gym in a nearby town while i'm staying with my parents (same chain, my pass gets me into all locations) and it is so much more interesting than in the city
>the old dude with a white beard who mogged me on bench press and later said something to me but i couldn't understand what he was saying
>the zoomer being shown how to do cable flies by the manager
>the butch 30 something woman who mired me doing good mornings
>the fat guy doing 5x1 3pl8 squats
>not the identical gym thots in identical uniforms only doing cardio, because they don't exist in the country
That one trainer who does bodybuilding and has lots of comments that send love from Kazakhstan
>the closet bi bottom who wears short shorts and checks out his butt in the mirror after every set
Pure manifestation of egoistic tendencies to show off. Typical example are payeet tiktoks that are oozing with desperation to attract attention through making moronic faces and utterly stupid scenarios. Waste of everyones time and direct manifestation of their low iq. Should be banned from fit.
>tradies that turn up in their van after work
>one fat frick and one cocaine consuming fairly decent grafter
>rotating on about 3 sets of equipment for 1 set at a time
>blasting out supersets for 15 minutes then leave
>Early 20s dude.
>Pretty much always using barbells or doing weighted pullups. Spends about 1.5-2 hours doing various barbell exercises and then might do a few sets dumbell chest press or shrugs, but that's it.
>Always full-body, pretty much every day.
>Has weird little routine where he hyperventilates for about fifteen seconds before each set.
>Does this even on warm-up sets.
>Lifts as close as possible to failure every working set.
>His face goes red as a tomato, and after sets he'll often get up and walk around the gym, angrily mumbling swear words to himself.
>Blatantly stares at girls' asses, especially when they're doing squats or deadlifts.
>Makes eye contact with me, and I assume everyone, whenever he walks past, but doesn't say anything.
>Only time I see him talk to people is to offer a spot on bench. He does this to everyone.
>Stretches for at least half an hour every day. Usually sets up behind the most attractive girl in the stretching area and stares at her ass the whole time. Only time he seems to stop is to make eye contact with anyone walking by.
>Mostly only see him lifting weights, but he'll occasionally hop on the treadmill and he'll be borderline sprinting for about 20 minutes.
Dude's a complete sperg, but he's jacked to the gills so everyone just leaves him alone and lets him quietly be a creep.
Also, forgot to mention,
>No headphones
>No towel
>He only brings his water bottle, and always wears T-shirts with holes in them and short shorts.
why would you bring a towel
Some gyms require it. Most people bring towels anyway after lockdowns because it was required for a while here.
Sounds like me actually. Except for the hyperventilating and prowling around the gym.
You need to stop following me anon
Although I'm clumsy as frick
>Setting squat rack height
> have to eyeball between one side and the other to make sure the bar will be level
> Always frick it up by one spot
>two girls, maybe early 20s, have started coming in at 9am every other day
>slightly skinnyfat, not model-tier genetics but somewhat cute
>from the looks they're learning how to lift for the first time
>they bring some kind of lifting textbook and consult it between sets
>a textbook
>one Sunday I overheard them saying they had to hurry to get changed in time for church
>they get visibly shy/awkward if anyone tries to talk to them
Don't touch them, unicorns are rare
They're levelling up to get trad-chad
Sounds like me. I eat nothing but value sausages, corn and rice. Sometimes I go days without eating and yet I'm still one of the biggest people in the gym.
anon how do you know he doesn't eat
Jacked 5’5” 215lbs manlet in sweatshirts almost every day.
You can see his shape, cuts and veins of his arms through sweatshirts. Sometimes he wears a t shirt.
Sweats like a mother fricker
Physique is insane. The way it’s developed and put together, guy must compete.
He looks pissed off 90% of the time, but he says hi to people who say hi to him and I’ve seen him stop to help random people who ask him questions
I should say hi.
>not jacked, but not skinny indian guy
>uses very low weights, but always slams them when he is done and instantly walks away
>walks angrily, doesn’t care if someone is in his way, they’ll move
>girl who does ab work first every time ive ever seen here there (at least 4x a week)
>watched her go through 3x15 weighted decline crunches 3x15 candlesticks 3x40 slow mountain climbers 3x1min weighted planks
>took her 30 fricking minutes
>does it. every. day.
lel is it working or is she fatty coping
>feel bad about never going over and saying hi to any of the regulars at my gym
>then again none of them have ever come over and said hi to me
why has it always gotta be the introverted guy going over and saying hi to the extroverts? by definition it's supposed to be the other way around
Black person, nothing changes if nothing changes. Go say hi
have you tried not looking autistic? new people talk to me all the time at the gym
Hi OP it is me, the man. Stop trying to blow me in the lockerroom please
OP here, sorry bro but I just love wieners so much!
>that one dude that is kind of strong, never speaks to anyone, always has headphones in, is there almost every day at the same time, drinks water between every set and never poses infront of the mirror

The shy fat manlet that's slowly turning into a tank:
>joined the gym half a year ago
>extremely shy, just looks to the ground and does his workout routine
>just wants to lift and go home
>loses a heavy amount of weight
>starting to bulk up
>extreme power gains in just half a year
>when the gym is empty and you chitchat him up he actually is a really nice guy
>you cheer for him
I call this phentoype the hidden gem. These were the peasants that build the pyramides, super poor, short, but bestial powers and endurance.
>That guy that always looks around between sets and accidentally locks eye contact with people multiple times
Thats me. I fricking hate this. They are visibly disdained.
