When they curling in the squat rack and pause to take a phone call
When you’re on a diet and the carbs are calling your name
Zero carbs expect the occasional tantrum
When you finally get a bench, but last mfer left a pool of sweat
When you’ve been lifting for years and someone suggests you start working out
When they curling in the squat rack and pause to check their phone
The face your gym partner makes when you tell them how many sets they got left
Mfer walking in between me and the mirror mid set. me
When you get to the gym and it’s closed
When you reach boiling point and decide they’ve been hogging the squat rack too long
Me when someone tells me you’ve lost some size since i last saw you
When you have to leave the gym early because you have the shits
When the skinny guy makes me take off my headphones to give me unsolicited weight loss tips
When you hear people say they don’t go to the gym cos they don’t wanna get bulky
When you see high school kids recording tiktok videos at the gym
Me excited to hit the gym after work but my boss mentions the word overtime
When you’ve been dieting all day and someone offers you a slice of pizza
When you’ve booked your holiday but there’s no gym where you’re going
