>tfw you will never be a part of the "cool group" in the gym that is usually made up of some of the staff and the most attractive 20-something year old members despite being way better at gym than they are

The closest I got was two or three regular lifting partners and a few weak acquaintances and that was only because I was huge and impressively strong at the time.

>"cool group" in the gym

Nobody that treats the gym as a social club is cool and I have no desire to impress them.

>>76605373
This doesn’t apply to you Raj, you are not cool.

>Wants to be part of the "cool" gym group
Ok bro.

>>76605445
What would you like to discuss?

Every group in which I am a member is a cool group by virtue of me being a member.

>>76605353 (OP)
It’s just like the good ol high school days…walk in and everyone knows who runs the place. You’ve got the respect without even asking for it. Best part is messing with the nerds, slipping a 2.5 on their warm-up or nudging the bench so they’re squirming. You just grin and remind them, “not ready for my rack yet.”

Dont get upset over larp posts

It really is just like highschool days
>One of the cool kids talks to me to gauge if I'm worthy
>I say something mildly weird

Maybe I should just keep changing gyms until I get it right.
Granted its a lot easier in the gym since you're only sitting alone working out by yourself for a hour or two vs having to spend all day looking like a loser.

Sorry your mom didn’t let you play sports in school lil brown zoomerito.

>>76605353 (OP)
what the fuck are you even talking about?

>>76605682
He's trolling. There's no social hierarchy in gyms but we can't point that out because he'll just say haha ur obviously not part of the group or you'd know about it. It's a pretty good troll but it's got a why even lift undertone to it so fuck him I'm calling it.

>>76605353 (OP)
Going to a gym to be part of some cool group is like going to college for an engineering degree and worrying excessively about whether you'll be invited to some random party. You're there for a specific purpose. Don't get sidetracked by irrelevant novelties.

I left my old gym because I became too friendly with too many members there, I couldn't just go and work out, it always became a social thing where I was expected to have several conversations with different people
don't make the same mistake, don't talk to people at the gym, don't even smile or make eye contact
the gym is for getting stronger, not for making friends

>>76605706
nah bro there 100% is a hierarchy in every gym. you can cope all you want but the pecking order is real, the strong the aesthetic the social they float to the top. you telling yourself it doesn’t exist is like some dude saying “money doesn’t matter” while he counts change for rent. keep grinding maybe one day you’ll get a nod instead of writing essays about why it’s fake.

Totally, me and my homies usually walk into the gym in coordinate dance routine and greet the front desk check in who sings back her reply to us in awe of our muscles. We didnt even practice this we just have that much swag. Then we settle down at the bench press where we all bust out fat 500lb for 10 reps and then get all the girls wet. Each girl looked identical except their workout clothes were different colors. We each take one by the arm and dance out of the gym showing everyone how cool we are. The homeless guy out front smiles and says wow I wish I was as cool as those guys. We are all doctors and shit so we're rich and drive off with our new girlfriends in our Lamborghini and we do this every single day.

>>76605544
> that time we put acid in the gym nerd's preworkout and he started RDL'ing the entrance turnstile.

LMAO

>>76605533
Based and checked

>don't even smile or make eye contact
This. And generally in a gym it's not really considered a social space so not conversing with the other gym goers isn't really considered odd

>>76605353 (OP)
I was working at a casino doing weird hours so me and a colleague could only go early mornings or late evenings to our gym.
Didn't know what we were doing so asked Pete, the manager, for some pointers.
It was quite in the morning so he took us under his wing and made us a program and told us what we should be eating.
Got to know all the big guys and they all knew us because it was quiet.
When we we came in the evenings (busy) there was always some of the big guys and we'd chat and we'd get to the equipment easy.
Anyway got involved with some of the dodgy stuff they were doing and made some money too.
I loved that gym.

>>76605723
and in your head the wagies working at the gym, picking up my dumbells, are at the top? the jannies as well? lmao

I hate talking to people at the gym, 2-3x yearly I have to shut someone down who sees me at the same time and tries to chat.

A decade ago in my early 20s I met a group of 4 Mexican body builders who took me in, a skinny white 6'4" 155 lbs Newby. In 2 years I was 215 lbs 12% BF, I was shredded. My sister had to stop inviting her friends over to our parents house because they were obsessed with me (lived at home in college). They made Facebook groups about me and broke into our house to steal my clothes. They made posters of me grabbing a drink from the fridge shirtless they stealthily took from our window. Us 5 lifted from 10:30 pm to 12:30 am Mon-Fri (undergrad schedule). Saturday we went to the bars and hit on women. I'll never have a gym bro again, they were the best. Never met a more hardworking group. They'd wake up at 5:30 am, work a manual labor job, go home and nap, them work 12-8 pm security, then nap, then come workout. Weekends they were bouncers. Not a single one ever missed a session in 2 years. Working my cushy white color WFH job I'm often motivated by their work ethic.

>>76605353 (OP)
I feel like incels on /fit/ don’t really get the social part of lifting. You develop it during team contact sports.

>>76605544
>>76606110
i’m not even a bully but once i started hanging with the gym cool kids it got in my blood. now i can’t stop. i’ll flip their plates backwards so they load the bar uneven, turn the treadmill incline up when they’re not looking, tighten every knob on the cable machine so they think it’s broken, even swap their shaker bottle lid so it leaks down their shirt mid sip. i’ll chalk up their earbuds, hide one lifting strap, or whisper “last rep” when they’re only on rep three. not trying to be cruel, but man once you start pulling gym pranks it’s like pringles, kek you just keep going.

>>76606231
made me laugh

>>76605918
its me

>>76606216
what is the social part? turning a 45 minute workout into an hour and a half because of conversations? people coming up during rest periods to chat and then by the time your next set comes you're cold again because you've been talking to some 50 year old idiot about his women problems for 10 minutes?

>>76606247
Did you play contact team sports?

>>76605353 (OP)
I pretend to be a crack stoner so people leave me alone

>>76605418
The only people who "hang out" at the gym are unemployed spics and nigs. White people don't do that shit.

>>76606486

Agrarianism and frogs.

>>76605373
The cool group consists of me, I, and myself. I go to a jewish lifting gym because i am in israel, and all of the cable attachments have coins embedded in them except for the pressing ones because they got sued one time when some jewish math professor got stuck under the leg press for 6 million seconds on chest day.

>>76605674
>brown zoomer
Surely you can do better

>>76605544
I think its fun to start with my 5rm just to see if someone is gonna stop me instead of warming up. Then i go till failure just to piss them off that they could have been benching. Not today boy, its big boy hours and your long legs and short torso arent gonna do shit when youre throwing up weight like this. If i didnt do this then the bitches would fuck someone else which is a big no no mister. I want it all; the bitches, the boobies, the money, the free pizza, the free candy, being able to smoke crack in the gym, being able to smoke weed in the gym, a water fountain of vodka, a beer bong, a keg of beer and the butt funnel tube, the mens and womens bathroom connected with a latex glory hole, a leg press with a dildo, a semen fondue fountain.

>>76606687
>semen fondue fountain
I got the burritos and rice

>>76606695
Well sir youre gonna need more than that, youre going to have to throw out the rice and make me some rice sourdough with a home made wine and blue cheese from roach milk for the cheesy shrimp amd tilapia bread burrito with semen sauce.

>taking your car to the gym instead of jogging there as warmup/cardio

>>76605373
Theres nothing else to do, and im not rushing my sets because some gaylord is too scared to ask to work in. I will however leave the station and my bag for 15min so i get to teach someone gym ethics and reason then tell them there form is wrong and act gay.

>>76606702
>running on your feet instead of your hand running shoes
Im working shoulders today and you cant do shit about it except ask to work in, and the answer is no.

>>76605353 (OP)
Could not care less. One of them hypes himself up and attracts attention only to row 4 plates in the cable pec flys

>>76606711
Ill run backwards on leg push day rather then leg pull day. Im starting to get faster at sprinting backwards than forwards and my postures all fucked up.

>>76606722
Theres a dude who comes in with a reverse swastika to my gym who only does front raises at this gym. At the other gym he has gay sex in the showers with the weak straight guys.

This. It's worth fucking everything up for a hot chick, otherwise avoid eye contact.

Dude i was trying to bring my gay boyfriend into the gym just to show off my squat bible results. I literally bench 350x1 i obviously know how to lift good.

>>76606746
>is his ass fat
Better than a womans nerd

>>76606705
Some guy did the reverse of this to me. Left 275lb on the bench, was gone for long as fuck, asked the people next to me if anybody was using it and they said no, so I start unloading it when bro comes back from the locker room, says he just wants to do one rep. I have to spot him and pull that shit up because he couldn’t do it. Then I do my 145lb 4x5 lol.

>>76605722
>Expected to have several conversations
>Sorry I'm in a rush/gotta get these sets in
It's that easy, but I'm from NYC so a simple head nod/how's it going and walk away is already overly friendly

gm saar

My gym gets a new "cool group" every 3-4 months and then I never see any of them again
