>>76823856that 24 hr fitness actually looks decent. where is that at?
>>76823856That is legit disturbing how people can't live without some sort of stimulus, when I'm at the gym I'm the only one without a phone.
>>76823883>guys "fighting their demons">that "demon" is an overweight 5
>>76824067My earpods ran out of battery yesterday during peak hours and I was traumatized having to listen to 18-22 year old zoomers for an hour. We're fucked. Their average IQ can't be over 60.
>>76823883They're saying "Do not talk to me"

>>76824105honestly at this point taking the time to load up music takes me out of the moment, and it's just another thing to manage, also some of those songs are fire, stop lying
>>76823856>fatty>crocs doing 50 pound lat pull>stick bug>friends
>>76824123>taking the time to load up music????Do you not have a playlist of music you listen to? Are you manually picking songs each time you decide to listen to music?
>>76823856and then the roastie standing there in her underwear desperately wanting men to pay attention to her
>>76824067you so cool I'd suck you off
>>76824161Sometimes, various genres but it's like an extra step to getting to your sets, if you're working hard enough you shouldn't even notice the music most of the timeWhen I was strength training going for a big squat for me one time in particular some really gay shit came on and I delayed my set, but that's like once out of a year and 3 monthsI guess I'm a natural procrastinator and I'd sit there trying to find the right song to max out to, I like being in the moment
>>76824067I check my phone a lot but no musicI get to a point between sets where I don't have the energy to check my phone
>>76823891save us Trump
>>76824196He'd turn down the stimulus
>sitting at a machine for 30 minutes to pump out maybe 2 sets if lucky
I have accidentally become friends with at least 10 randos at my gym simply by asking them for a spot or seeing how many sets they have left. It's pretty hard not to get friendly with someone when you see them so often. I don't even know some of their names desu, and I don't think they know mine. Great stuff.
>>76824099they didnt stare at the newspaper for 18 hours a day to the point they were incapable of carrying on a conversation. The newspaper was their only source of information about what was going on beyond their neighborhood so of course everyone spent 20 minutes reading it in the morning.And then they spend the rest of the day talking to people about it.
>>76824712You are doing it right
>>76824083Ageless tale.
>>76823856-d rice. fried rice? I love fried rice but I won't make it at the gym
>>76823856Sorry state of affairs, truly.On the contrary, though. Training calisthenics you don't experience this much if at all.I feel its something about being outside sharing an open space together.I may be wrong but this also seems more of an America problem.At my local commercial gym, in Spain, people are a bit social. But the same problem exists somewhat.I fairly often get people, mostly women actually, talking to me or showing curiosity about my training.I also don't bury my face in my phone after every set, though.Anyway, night and day difference to calisthenics park. I've met some really solid dudes there who I now hang out with from time to time outside of training.
>>76823856>sign telling you to believe in yourself>nobody really training, just passively consuming phoneLooks like a shitty, depressing gym
>>76823883Me, hoods are comfortable and they keep my headphones in my ears. When im working out i dont want to be bothered.
>>76823856I despise everyone at my gym. I don't wanna make friends with anybody there.
>>76825474why?
>>76824712you are like me, the funny thing is that i never tried to befriend people on the gym, they just happen to like me for some reason, i literally have more friends in the gym that outside the gym
>>76823856Friends are made while you do other things, just accidentally. You don't go to the gym wit the main objective to make friends.
>>76825520Yeah it's weird. I guess being easygoing has its perks.
>>76824712Yeah, you begin to recognise regulars and they recognise you, it's nice, even if you don't really know them.Nice cat.
Im kinda anti social due to social isolation and i may seem/feel unnaproachable, but im also nice and if you seem nice it would be cool to be friendly with people i see regularly and have the same hobby. One day. Right now im homegyming it and going to parks. I honestly assume everyone i ever meet is overtly or secretly hostile based on how people have always treated me.
>>76823856>>76823883but it means they are not actually training, what the fuck. when you exercise you get hot, it's how the body worksyou don't want to be friends with those people OP, be thankful they want to stay to themselves
>>76823856I'm glad I don't have a smartphone. They still don't keep a charge for even 3 weeks. I use a mobile phone, and it's quite enough for me to talk and text. I don't need a smartphone pseudocomputer with me. I'm not a cyborg, I'm a man.
>>76823856They are in Internet instead of fitness business. It's a shame for them.
>>76824712Me but at my job. I made friends with 8 Officers who completely outrank me (E2) just because I hate my job and chat with people >inb4 impossible Office job nigga
>>76826462>Office jobyea, you already said 8 officers
>>76824712That's not friends you fucking retard. That's like 5 steps removed from even acquaintance
>>76824712>friends>don't know their namesad
>>76823883>he doesn't MYSTERYMAXXYou wouldn't understand
I've been going to the same gym for 3 years and I don't know anyone's name. The 5am crowd just goes in and quietly does their workout by themselves. I'd recognize them anywhere, but we literally say nothing to each other. It halfway bothers me because I'm extroverted as fuck, but at the same time if I started yapping with someone I'd never get my workout in and I only have so much time before work.
>>76824067It looks like I check my phone a lot but it's because my poor ass doesn't want to buy a smart watch to keep track of my rests. Unfortunately me checking my phone also results in fucking around with other stuff, but ideally I would only check it to change songs and reset my timer.
>>76823856thats because youre going to a gym. just lift weights at home and take an actual sports class where youre forced to talk to people
>>76827149>sports class
Only the shitskins get friendly with eachother in my gym. Once in the locker room, this roided up manlet indian is talking to his friend about whatever bullshit, then I noticed that he was literally only doing grunting noises like some sort of literal retard. Thats the kind of people who make friends at the gym. Personally, the only ones Id like to make friends with is all the gym bunnies, but they would literally think I'd rape them if I talked to them
>>76823883On my winter bulk villain arc bro I'm brooding and mysterious and dangerous and I fucking HATE the guy my gf fucked bro you wouldn't get it I'm like the main character in an edgy manga where the protagonist beats up his bully and gets the girl. Just wait until I get out of cocoon mode bro my shreds are gonna be crazy bro I'm gonna diced fucking MINCED bro FUCK YOU CHELSEA YOU BITCH
>>76827247>mangafag
>>76824893cope, people weren't cold opening each other any more than today, people minded their own business and just carried on
I've cold opened some guys, like the first dude I saw do a squat other than me I brought it up, then this black dude for whatever reason I don't remember, guy was like 5'4" and told me openly he was on tren, loland then another guy who I think can shoulder press more than me while not looking jacked at allI'm going to be an asshole, must people in the gym are doing sets of fuck around, so there is really no common ground between my enlightened mind having browsed /fit/ on and off for 16 years and these guys who haven't even googled a routine
>>76823883Fags.
>>76823883You sound like a gay asshole that doesn't even own a hoodie because it's for black teenagers or whatever fag shit you heard
>>76827328You sound like a gay schizo who makes up stories in his head to get more mad over after his feelings got hurtYour schizo story isn't even consistent, if having your hood up indoors specifically is what's wrong clearly having it outdoors is fine. Retard.
>>76825500They're a bunch of retards. But not the funny kind of rerards.
>>76827311>I'm going to be an asshole, must people in the gym are doing sets of fuck around, so there is really no common ground between my enlightened mind having browsed /fit/ on and off for 16 years and these guys who haven't even googled a routineLiterally me fr fr
>have 0 friends, no girlfriend, no relationship with family>going outside and seeing people with these things feels like pure tortureLifts for this?
>>76827598lift up the phone and call your dad
>>76827298people talked to strangers all the time. They chatted with the person in line next to them at the grocery store.You're just ttrying to pretend that being an asocial weirdo loner has always been normal because you can bear the fact that you are a loser
>>76827298>cold openingand stop with PUA incel slang.Its called "talking to people".
Why would you ever want to be friends with someone at the gym?I'm trying to get in and get out, working out already is annoying and inconvientent as fuck and takes like 3 hours out of my day if you add in everything including traveling there and showering etcDon't need to add to that by having to go>HEY BROOOOOO to a bunch a random niggasDo not fucking talk to me at the gym!!!!!!
>>76827632no one wants to talk to you anyways
>>76827620You don’t live in a major city
>>76827688Which shit hole do you reside in?
>>76827688Follow the fucking reply chain retard. We're talking about the past compared to modern times.
>>76827632home gym chads we CANNOT stop winning
>>76826509>>76826496I said I don't know some of their names, not all. Sure they're not close friends, but I hang out with most of them almost every day. If that's not a friend, what is? Doesn't matter anyway since I'm having a good time :)
I'm a super extroverted guy that makes friends very easily and honestly I don't tend to talk to many people at my gym. I think I have a scarcity mindset around how little workout I'd get in if I got into a conversation. When it happens, I enjoy it but then when it's over it's hard not to think of how much time I just spent not working out.Side note, adults that say making friends once you're out of college is hard are something else. I can't fathom how you'd struggle with that. I'm actively trying to not make friends right now (unless it's a FWB), since I don't see enough of my current friends as it is.
>>768238913 of the people in pic are White and 1 is Asian so what is your point? The 2020 census significantly undercounted the White population and your pic is "White alone" not "non Hispanic White" which is misleading because it slightly overstates the White population, in this estimate, and it excludes the fact that 61% of Hispanics in 2010 considered themselves "White Hispanic" while in the 2020 "redistricting summary profile 1", it wasn't called a census, that number fell to 18%. Now what the fuck does this have to do with fitness?
>>76823856You're just ugly. People constantly talk to one of my friends in and out the gym. Sometimes if we go together, the same people that ignore me would talk to his, showing all their teeth. Guys and girls. I've seen guys turn off their phone and smile looking at him in between sets. Sometimes I regret getting him to lose weight, look at me now, on 4chan of all places, complaining. The worst part of it is, it's made my life objectively better, I have more friends via him. I've lost my virginity on 2mans because of him. And I'm angry that I have to be grateful.
>>76823856Join a vibrant European gym
>>76823891Completely deserved. I'm glad amerifats are diversifying and dying out, whilst Europe turns right and starts to actually kick out the migrants
>>76828281What is even happening here, local madrasa having a field day?
